Unaffordable home prices are not the kind of thing billionaire President Donald Trump has had to worry about his whole life, but his voters are having a hard time with it in his economy. Locally elected Republicans are feeling more heat over the economic situation than Trump in his gold-plated Oval Office, however, and this is pressing Columbia, SC. Mayor Daniel Rickenmann to plead Trump for mercy.

“I think it’s terrible for the Republican Party, to be quite honest,” said Rickenmann, speaking to an MS NOW “Weekend” panel Saturday morning about the possibility of Trump vetoing a popular housing bill to force Senate Republicans to pass the SAVE Act. “… When you have Senator (Rick) Scott and Senator (Elizabeth) Warren working together, this is what this country is based on, so we’re really excited. You know, look, in 10 days this bill will be law. And I don’t think the President would be wise to even think about vetoing something like this. This is monumental. This is the beginning. First housing bill in 30-plus years.”

Trump is facing a likely disastrous midterm election threatening to remove his protective Republican buffer in the House and Senate — which is the only thing protecting him from numerous investigations into claims of fraud and various tampering. Knowing this, Trump is determined to pass the SAVE Act, an election bill that critics say will make it harder to vote.

But passing the SAVE Act means also means nuking the Senate filibuster and removing the Senate parliamentarian, which Senate GOP leaders are loathe to do. For this reason, Trump is holding all bills hostage until the Republican majority commits to passing the SAVE Act to the White House for a signature.

But Trump may have other reasons behind his indifference to the Housing Bill, said MS NOW Eugene Daniels, who played footage of Trump dismissing the need for lower housing prices.

“I made billions of dollars with housing. I know housing better than anybody. Maybe anywhere. It is all about the interest rate. Lower the interest rate. You can have all the housing you want. But you have to understand: I don’t want to … hurt people that own houses too. These people, for the first time in their lives, they have valuable houses, they become rich. I don’t want to hurt them either.”

“What’s interesting is several weeks ago, a month ago, he talked about how this is important,” responded Rickenmann. “This is the number one issue across America in every city. … If you’re a Democratic city, Republican city, whatever, there’s three and a half million units needed across this country. … We had over 1,800 [building permits issued] in our city. We’re pushing everything we can. But to say that it’s just interest rates is not true. And to say this isn’t monumental as also very disappointing, in my point of view.”

“It is very important for us to protect the integrity of elections,” Rickenmann insisted. “But at the same time, we can’t hold one bill for other. We’ve got to work on thousands of things together, and I don’t like the impression that one bill is being held up for another. That’s just not the way things need to work.”

The result is that Windows 10 remains stubbornly popular. According to StatCounter data, Windows 10 is still running on about 26 percent of PCs, while Windows 11 sits at 72 percent. That means there are still hundreds of millions of active Windows 10 installs, but those machines will be up to date for at least an additional year.

To join the ESU program, just look for the enrollment option in the Windows Update menu. Customers in the EU get these updates for free, but in other regions, you have to sign in with a Microsoft account and sync your system settings to be eligible for free updates. Otherwise, it costs $30 (or 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points) to join the program.

Once you’re in, the ESU license works on up to 10 devices, but Microsoft stresses this is for personal use—businesses have to pay per device for Windows 10 updates, but the program is available through 2028. But at this rate, Microsoft might be releasing Windows 10 updates even beyond that timeline.

Are we living in a market bubble fueled by greed and easy money? In this candid discussion, we cut through the noise of mainstream “market veterans” to deliver a brutal, much-needed reality check on the current state of the Indian stock market. We draw sharp parallels to the historic 2003 bull run, warning investors who have become far too comfortable with easy returns that a corrections-based reality check is likely on the horizon. Moving past the hype, we break down why the highly popular power sector has become a dangerous consensus trade and expose a hidden, critical threat facing India’s booming data centres: a genuine water scarcity crisis that mirror clashes we’ve already seen globally with giants like Blackstone. Finally, we map out the exact sectors worth watching right now—including pharma, defence, EMS, and consumer discretionary—while revealing the one major sector looking like a tempting trade, but one we wouldn’t touch with a barge pole for actual long-term investment.
