Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One — The White House says Illinois Governor JB Pritzker should be asking for help with controlling crime in Chicago.  Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Chicago's crime rate is Pritzker's legacy.  President Trump has talked about possibly conducting a similar crime crackdown in Chicago like the one in Washington, D.C.

Two ---  The average rate on a 30-year U.S. mortgage slipped this week to its lowest level in 10 months, though it remains close to where it’s been in recent weeks. The long-term rate eased to 6.56% from 6.58% last week. A year ago, the rate averaged 6.35%. Elevated mortgage rates have added to a slump in the U.S. housing market that began in early 2022.

 
And number three ---   Former Major League Baseball star Mark Teixeira is running for Congress in Texas.  He once played for the Texas Rangers before finishing is career in New York with the Yankees.  The self-described "lifelong conservative" he's ready to defend President Trump's America First agenda.
