A new real estate platform lets buyers see the political affiliations of their future neighbors and how many dogs may be living on their block.

Why it matters: Tech startup Oyssey believes social data – like age, education and income demographics – is influencing buyers more than the physical conditions of a home.

Driving the news: Oyssey is soft launching in South Florida and New York City this month. The company developed a website that lets buyers search for homes as well as a tool that streamlines contract negotiations.

The results of the 2024 U.S. presidential election either saved the nation from a permanent socialist takeover, or else they marked the second coming of Adolf Hitler, depending on whom you ask.

Is it any surprise then that the Merriam–Webster word of the year is “polarization”?

“Polarization means division, but it’s a very specific kind of division,” said Peter Sokolowski, Merriam–Webster’s editor at large, in an exclusive interview with the Associated Press ahead of Monday’s announcement.

Sometimes you just can't win, and that goes double for people navigating the increasingly polarized political landscape in the United States.

Having nuanced opinions of politics in the U.S. turns out to be a very lonely, and unpopular, road, according to a recent study by a research team that includes assistant professor Aviva Phillipp-Muller from Simon Fraser University's Beedie School of Business.

The party of “Karens for Kamala”, Sam Brinton, and the infamous Joe Biden monkeypox coordinator are now — rather confidently — making accusations of “weirdness” central to their campaign against Donald Trump.

This is why the GOP spent much of its convention framing the election as one of normies against weirdos. Arkansas Governor Sarah Sanders started using this dichotomy of “normal or crazy” more than a year ago when she delivered the GOP response to Biden’s 2023 State of the Union address.

Protesters gathered in the Cannon Rotunda on Tuesday afternoon to protest the Israeli government, with some being arrested by law enforcement.

Video shows a large group of protesters wearing red shirts sitting in circles in the Cannon House Office Building's rotunda. Demonstrators clapped and chanted as police officers were seen apprehending fellow protesters, who were escorted away.

On Sunday evening, President Joe Biden spoke from the Oval Office, calling on Americans to temper their passions. In the aftermath of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, Biden reiterated his message that there is no room for violence in our politics and that everyone needs to take a breath and calm down. The nation needs to “lower the temperature,” he said. “No matter how strong our convictions,” Biden added, we must “never descend into violence.”

WASHINGTON, July 14 (Reuters) - Within hours of the assassination attempt on former U.S. President Donald Trump, many of his supporters began laying blame on Democrats, seeking to flip the script on who has stoked America’s heated political rhetoric as cases of political violence reach historic heights.

From establishment Republicans to far-right conspiracy theorists, a consistent message emerged that President Joe Biden and other Democratic leaders laid the groundwork for Saturday’s shooting by casting Trump as an autocrat who poses a grave threat to democracy.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has sent millions of dollars to law firms that are intimately involved in an “unprecedented lawfare” campaign against former President Donald Trump, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records reviewed by the Daily Caller.
