Investment Claims

  • πŸ’° $18 trillion in new investment claims by Trump lack evidence, with the White House website listing a smaller figure that includes pre-existing commitments.

Home Sales and Prices

  • πŸ“ˆ Home sales in December rose 1.4% from a year earlier, a partial truth, as pending home sales actually fell 3%, suggesting the increase might be temporary.
  • 🏠 Trump's desire to keep home prices high could boost net worth but risks pricing out first-time buyers and slowing new construction.

California Wildfire Water System

  • πŸ’§ There is no water system connecting the Pacific Northwest to California; most of California's water comes from instate snowmelt.
  • πŸš’ While some fire hydrants ran dry during wildfires, officials state the system was not built to handle a disaster of that scale.
