The average age of a first-time homebuyer hit a record high of 40 years old, a big jump from age 29 in the 1980s. Rep. Lou Correa and Rep. Mark Alford are leading a bipartisan effort to make buying a home more affordable.

Mike Sommers, President & CEO of the American Petroleum Institute, on how they're advocating on Capitol Hill - and how they’re making their case directly to members of Congress.

“That’s what I was here to do — pass legislation.” Former Rep. Patrick McHenry joined 535 to explain why he left Congress after 10 terms, saying his term limit as chair of the House Financial Services Committee felt like a natural endpoint.

We asked Rep. Nikki Budzinski whether a discharge petition could be used to force consideration of the bipartisan PREDICT Act on the House floor: "That should be on the table." ⬇️

On the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown, @pelosi.house.gov joined 535 to reflect on the San Francisco rally that followed, China’s suppression of dissent, and why the moment was “intolerable.”

“Trade is a factor in peace building around the world.” On 535, Ed Brzytwa with the Consumer Technology Association discussed how durable commercial relationships can create more stability, predictability, and certainty — and why that matters for avoiding conflict.

.@repjohnnyo.bsky.social says his Supreme Court reform push is designed as a constitutional amendment so changes would last beyond one presidency or one court majority. He told 535 the goal is consistent turnover, congressional authority, and reforms he says many Americans support.

Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) on building bipartisanship in Congress, just now on 535. Watch the show live at 535.news.

Hadley✨️ I married my high-school sweetheart five years ago. We have been making plans to have our first child when he tells me on our anniversary that he can only stay with me if I allow him to open our relationship so that we can both see other people. Reluctantly, I agree, not expecting to fall

We have had noble and good leaders. Obama inspired Hope in the American people. What has Trump done for you lately?

Happy❤️Day!

Trump still sounds hoarse, tired, and slurry today

#Trump must've told #Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos "You better back out and let my beautiful friends, the Ellisons buy #WarnerBrothers, or else I'm going to tell everybody that you're in the Epstein Files." Prove me wrong. I dare you. #Paramount #WBD Now, MAGA has claimed CNN. Only MSNBC remains.
