WSJ reporter Heather Somerville explains how it became an example of Washington's shortcomings in keeping critical technology in the U.S. Plus: Rental-data company RealPage is clashing with state and local governments over its algorithmic pricing systems for apartments.

Computer algorithms are great at processing vast amounts of data and then making either recommendations or decisions based on that data. AI is even better at that process. Yet somehow consumer groups feel like landlords have a disadvantage when it comes to data and therefore should not have the right to use that market data when it comes to setting rates for a rental property.The latest legislation to pass through the US Congress has a Federal statute that aims to block the states and local governments from oversight of AI and automated decision systems for 10 years. This won't block claims of anti-competitive behaviour. If successfully passed, this would give companies like Yardi, RealPage, and numerous others a clearer path to use their algorithms for the benefit of making pricing decisions based on supply and demand. If the data is being used for landlords to collude, then that would constitute a cartel which violates anti-trust laws. But the use of data for dynamic pricing, both up and down does not constitute collusion. The new legislation keeps the playing field favouring the development of technology to improve market efficiency. The states should not be blocking the use of technology.-----------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)  

Lawmakers in Jersey City will vote Wednesday on whether to ban rent algorithm software like RealPage to set rental rates. Meanwhile, the cost to reserve a seat on NYC Ferry trips to the Rockaways is going up. Also, it's commencement day at Columbia University, following a tense year on campus. Plus, Fleet Week is officially underway in New York City.

Isabelle Stapf, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Payments, at RealPage gave us an exclusive on their new LOFT app. Demand for apartments is at a record high, with renters signing new leases and renewing their existing stays in droves. Residents' expectations have also increased as they want their renting experience to be as seamless as the rest of their online life. That means integrated technology, financial wellness tools and rewards for their loyalty. RealPage, the leading provider of AI-enabled software platforms to the real estate industry, is addressing the needs of modern residents through an innovative technology called LOFT. RealPage created this new mobile app as a one-stop solution for a fulfilling apartment lifestyle from leasing to living, with easy move-in guidance, a financial wellness platform and a loyalty program to earn rewards when residents pay rent on time. Residents can pay their way, through their digital wallet, by snapping a picture of a check or splitting it into smaller chunks. Since launching in early 2025, RealPage's LOFT is already being offered by more than 500 apartment properties across America, giving more than three million residents access to LOFT, with many more to come. “Residents, and especially digital natives, demand digital experiences as part their apartment living lifestyles,” said Isabelle Meyer Stapf, RealPage Senior Vice President and General Manager, Payments. “Through LOFT, RealPage is prioritizing financial wellness for renters, bringing them solutions to earn rewards, make flexible rent payments and build their credit.” LOFT also simplifies the renter's journey from leasing to living. LOFT Leasing is a first-of-its-kind leasing experience that guides residents through application, approval and signing – with AI capabilities to streamline the back and forth. LOFT Moving enables a simplified moving experience for residents with a configurable moving checklist and integrations with local providers to order utilities, internet and moving services. And LOFT Loyalty allows residents to earn points for paying rent online and on time with any payment method. Residents can then redeem those points for rewards from airline and hotel travel to local restaurants and movie theatres. Property managers find value in LOFT, as their residents have one app for all of their essential tasks. Jess Molasky, Chief Operating Officer of Ovation, a RealPage customer who owns and manages apartments throughout the country added, “If I can reward my residents to show up, if I can reward my residents to make payments on time, and again, if I can have that stronger relationship because their moving experience was a good one, we become their ally.” Visit loftliving.com to learn more.

The use of algorithmic software in setting residential rents has come under scrutiny in recent years. In 2024, the Joe Biden administration sued real estate company RealPage, alleging that its algorithm, which aggregates and analyzes private data on the housing market, enables landlords to collude in pricing and stifles competition. There's no word yet on what the second Donald Trump administration's Justice Department will do with this case. But in the meantime, some cities are banning the use of these algorithms completely. Marketplace's Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Robbie Sequeira, who has been reporting on the issue for Stateline.

In Congress, Trump's defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth faces confirmation hearings amid controversy, and Senator Markey proposes delaying the TikTok sale deadline, with reports of Elon Musk being considered to acquire its U.S. operations. A House bill seeks to allow Trump to negotiate acquiring Greenland, as Denmark signals openness to increased U.S. military presence there.

It's Hump Day! Sam and Emma speak with Lee Hepner, senior legal counsel for the American Economic Liberties Project, to discuss the recent overturning of net neutrality. Then they speak with Joshua Kaplan, reporter at ProPublica, to discuss his recent piece entitled "The Militia and the Mole." First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the DoJ's release of details related to Trump's Jan 6th- and Stolen Documents-related cases, mass evacuations amid wildfires in LA, Dem's retaining of the Virginia legislature, the North Carolina Supreme Court's anti-democratic move, the House's massive anti-immigration bill, DoJ action over the RealPage rent-fixing scheme and the prior weaponization of the department under Trump, Israel's ongoing slaughter of Gazans in supposed safe zones, and ACA expansion, before unpacking a recent report on the unsurprising misinformation around gender-affirming care for adolescents. Lee Hepner then joins, jumping right into an extensive history of Net Neutrality, stemming from the establishment of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) under FDR's New Deal to preserve open networks and fair communication, with the 1996 Communications Act expanding its coverage to the internet and contributing to the arguments to expand to full Net Neutrality building under Bush before coming to fruition under Obama, only to be killed and restored by Trump and Biden respectively, all leading to the recent 6th Circuit decision to, once again, kill it. After tackling what Net Neutrality exactly is (the mandate for providers to serve websites equally) and expanding on the particular role the overturning of the Chevron Deference Doctrine played in this decision, Hepner wraps up with tactics to push back against this decision, and whether federalism will help keep these corporations in line. Joshua Kaplan then walks Sam and Emma through his extensive reporting on the far-right militia American Patriots 3% (AP3), tackling their role within the wider extremist militia ecosystem and how they used that to distance the organization from the January 6th insurrection attempt before having a wider discussion on the initial backlash (even internally) to these organizations in the wake of 1/6 before a steady rhetorical pivot from Trump and the GOP reversed the tides completely, and why that should concern us heading into a second Trump Administration with threats of mass pardoning for violent participators and organizers of 1/6. After expanding on AP3's odd “big tent” identity amid right-wing militias, Kaplan touches on his extensive conversations with a mole from AP3 and the role Facebook played in the militia's outreach, before wrapping up with the genuine threat posed by the extensive military training of these groups, both offered by the groups themselves and aided by their extensive connections to police, military, and veteran organizations. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma unpack the response from Mexico's President Scheinbaum to Trump's absurd statements on the US' territorial rights, the passage of the GOP's Lincoln Riley Bill with support from myriad Congressional Dems – including John “Manchin 2.0” Fetterman – to hand over immigration enforcement to the states (alongside the right to deport without criminal conviction). Chris Hayes reflects on the short history of Facebook's moderation team, John from Montreal on Trump's antagonization of US allies, and Kowalski from Nebraska parses through the future of farming amid threats to land ownership and more.

Th City of Philadelphia just passed a new ordinance with a vote of 17-0 banning the use of algorithmic pricing for properties in the city. San Francisco was the first city to enact such a ban. Philadelphia is the second and it is expected that others across the nation will follow suit.  The city bill references an anti-trust motion brought by the department of justice. The Justice Department alleges that RealPage's pricing software has features that are anticompetitive and therefore violate the Sherman Antitrust Act, a law passed more than a century ago. --------------- **Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

RealPage, a company owned by a Chicago-based private equity group, is facing DOJ and class-action lawsuits alleging that their software for landlords violates antitrust laws. The software, which generates recommended rent prices, is used to price over 70,000 apartments in Chicago alone, according to RealPage's own data. Reset sits down with WBEZ data reporter Amy Qin to learn how Chicago renters could be affected. For a full archive of Reset interviews, head over to wbez.org/reset.

Across the country, Americans are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of rent. Rental prices have gone up roughly 35% during the last five years, according to the real estate service firm Zillow. Recently, the Justice Department and attorneys general from eight states filed a lawsuit against a software company that helps landlords manage 16 million rental units nationwide. That company is called RealPage. According to the lawsuit, RealPage has shared data about rental properties that has led property owners to collude rather than compete in the rental market. Sandeep Vaheesan, legal director at the Open Markets Institute, joins us on The Excerpt to discuss RealPage and the recent antitrust lawsuit filed against them.Episode Transcript available hereAlso available at art19.com/shows/5-ThingsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Recovering from Hurricane Milton. Please accept my apologies for not being able to post a new episode. I am safe but need a few days of mental vacation giving the nerve-wracking past few days. On this edition of Parallax Views, we delve into the explosive story of a software company and corporate landlords accused of engaging in a criminal conspiracy to artificially jack-up prices in the U.S. rental housing market. Lee Hepner of the American Economic Liberties Project joins the show to discuss the scandal-plagued software company RealPage and algorithmic price-fixing in the U.S. rental housing market as well as what was recently described in The Atlantic as the emerging "AI Price Fixing Dystopia". We'll talk about how the relationship between vacancies and rental prices has changed since the introduction of software of the kind RealPage is selling, the significance of the RealPage antitrust case, and how scandals like this tie into the issue of evictions and homelessness. We'll also delve into broader issues related to cartels and the threat monopoly capital poses to U.S. consumers, the Google antitrust lawsuit and Judge Amit Mehta ruling that Google is a monopolist in violation of antitrust laws, the significance of the Google antitrust lawsuit and what could come of it, the Federal Trade Commision's Lina Khan and Department of Justice Jonathan Kanter & the antirust project, how price fixing also ties into food and airline prices, countering anti-antitrust propaganda, the concept of "greedflation" as the cause of inflation, and much, much more.

Carl Whitaker, Director of Research and Analysis with RealPage, joins Michael Bull, CCIM to discuss the multifamily commercial real estate market. Discussions include occupancy, performance and rent growth, and apartment markets that are defying expectations.  Brought to you by: ShareFile - Secure, digital solutions to simplify workflows and improve collaboration. https://ShareFile.com Bull Realty - Customized Asset & Occupancy Solutions: https://www.bullrealty.com/ Commercial Agent Success Strategies - The ultimate commercial broker training resource: https://www.commercialagentsuccess.com/ Watch the video versions of our show on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/c/Commercialrealestateshow Follow us at: @BullRealty https://twitter.com/bullrealty @CRE_show https://twitter.com/CRE_show

On today's show we are talking about how to find good data.  Last night I hosted an event and invited the Keynote Speaker from Costar to present to our audience. It was a great presentation and the speaker had lots of relevant statistics that would be of interest to anyone in my local market. There were numbers on multi-family apartments, on office, industrial.  During the informal part of the evening we got into a debate about the best sources of data. Every company that specializes in analytics seems to have their own special sauce for how they gather and validate their data.  Some property management companies like Yardi and Realpage also have data analytics products. Both companies are leaders in property management and they can rely on the vast quantity of data that is hosted in their system to provide an accurate picture of the market, but only for the properties they have viability of.  Companies like Costar and ALN use a more old school approach. They have legions of analysts who will monitor the market and pick up the phone and call property owners when a transaction takes place on a commercial property. They will call the property managers at a property and interview them. It's hard to know whether the property managers are being fully honest in the interview process.  One of the reasons why the reports differ has to do with the methodology.  ---------- **Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Neil J. Young, co-host of the Past Present podcast, to discuss his recent book Coming Out Republican: A History of the Gay Right. Then, she speaks with Hal Singer, economics professor at the University of Utah, to discuss some of Kamala Harris' recent economic policy proposals. First, Emma runs through updates on Israel's expanding offensive in the West Bank, major polling bumps for Dems, the first Harris/Walz interview, Trump's Q invocation, Trump's would-be assassin, Biden's major victory over drug prices, SCOTUS' continuing attacks on student debt relief, Brazil vs. Elon Musk, Cornell's labor action, and corruption in journalism, before parsing through the overwhelming threat of every type of violence that Palestinians face in the West Bank. Neil J. Young then joins, diving right into the roots of the gay Republican movement in the Cold War-era Lavender Scare, an overwhelming attempt by US federal, state, and local governments to criminalize, surveil, and punish queer Americans, be they politicians, military, police, or just every-day citizens, leading up to a 1978 ballot initiative from the religious right in California to ban queer people from teaching in public schools that saw an overwhelming organizing effort from gay Republicans to shoot down the initiative and prove that they belong in the GOP, a belief that took root among white gay men in San Francisco, before taking off nationally. Moving forward, Young then looks to the major role played by California Governor and US President Ronald Reagan over the outset and evolution of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in pushing rhetoric and policy that sought to otherize and demonize the homosexual “lifestyle” as the root of the crisis, and helping to launch a period of severe backlash to the social progress of the 1960s, particularly among the right. After expanding on the role of the public school system, and specifically the targeting of public school teachers, in right-wing attempts to marginalize and exclude queer folks, Neil and Emma walk through some of the major parallels we see with the challenges facing queer Americans today, wrapping up with the importance of understanding the immense stakes of this moment within its historical context. Professor Hal Singer then jumps right into the story of the US fight against inflation over the last few years, tackling the roles of price gouging and a corrupt rental market in exacerbating this economic crisis, including an expansive conversation on RealPage's landlord price-fixing suit, and the absurd arguments that economists and elites used to obscure these root causes. Next, Professor Singer and Emma walk through the recent economic proposals from the Harris campaign that focus on these particular issues and what they mean within the context of the transition between Biden and her administrations, before briefly challenging the focus on anti-trust as a tool to prevent price gouging, and wrapping up the interview with an assessment of Biden major victory in drug price negotiations with the pharmaceutical industry, and how Harris can expand on and learn from that win. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they watch JD Vance and Tim Walz make clear the party divide on unions, Royce White insults the “cuck mentality” that won Trump his first campaign, and JD Vance's cousin, BD, gives a peak behind the ol' country curtain of JD's campaign. Kari from New York unpacks RFK's myriad problematic beliefs, Jamie from ME on Gen-Z and Biden, and Mike Huckabee on Trump's prescient assholery, plus, your calls and IMs!

Happy Monday! Emma speaks with Andrew Chow, technology correspondent at Time Magazine, to discuss his recent book Cryptomania: Hype, Hope, and the Fall of FTX's Billion-Dollar Fintech Empire. First, Emma runs through updates on Israel stirring up conflict with Hezbollah, stalling ceasefire discussions, the ongoing slaughter of defenseless Gazans, polio in Gaza, Ukraine's offensive, the Trump campaign, the RFK campaign, Biden's few path-to-citizenship policies, killer cop corruption, and Uber's business malpractice, before watching RFK announce the TENTATIVE suspending of his campaign and his endorsement of Donald Trump, and listening to his sister dissect what the “real” Robert Kennedy would think about it. Andrew Chow then joins, diving right into a background on the roots of Bitcoin and the crypto movement as an honest attempt to provide a decentralized alternative financial rail that removed the industry of exploitative and extractionist middlemen that pushed the global economy into crisis in 2008, exploring both the democratizing and shadier ends of Bitcoin's early uses, playing a central role in both providing revolutionary movements alternative funding mechanisms and facilitating criminal exchange, all on a global scale. After expanding on some of the misleading claims about Bitcoin's criminal uses, Chow begins to wade into the great build and fall of Sam Bankman-Fried's crypto empire, walking through how his Wall Street roots and effective altruist ideology led him to see the realm of crypto as a volatile market in a power vacuum, ripe to be taken advantage of, resulting in FTX taking off as an unregulated crypto exchange that all went through the bank account of one, financially reckless individual, with zero checks or balances whatsoever. Chow then dives into the particular role political donations played in SBF's reckless spending, before slowly walking through the crypto collapse that SBF made so inevitable, and the complete erosion of the faith that its once-idealist community had in it, exploring its rebirth over the ongoing election as hedge fund-backed bipartisan lobby pleading for legitimacy at the feet of US political and financial institutions. Emma wraps up the free half with some coverage of Elizabeth Warren's direct call-out of the Harris campaign's (and Biden Administration's) refusal to abide by domestic (or international) rule of law when it comes to arming Israel. And in the Fun Half: Emma parses through AOC's discussion with Chi Ossé about Democrats' stance on Palestine and Gaza, Dorian from Crown Heights tackles the genuine red flags in Bill Maher's recent behavior, and Donald Trump's newest ad goes all-in on Israel. Tim Walz stirs Tucker Carlson's emotions, deep down in his gut, a caller unpacks the rat-fucking role of RFK, and JD Vance can't catch a damn break over this whole “hating single women” thing. The MR Team also tackles some updates to the RealPage lawsuit and the Trump campaign's obsessive refusal to downplay Harris' momentum, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's Casual Friday! Emma and Bradley break down the last night of the DNC. First, they run through updates on the final night of the DNC, Harris' acceptance speech, Dems' rejection of a Palestinian speaker, poll numbers, FED interest rate cuts, the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, RealPage's anti-trust woes, RFK's candidacy, Arizona and Texas politics, and Ukraine's offensive in Russia, before shining a light on the speech that wasn't, with Georgia State Rep. and Palestinian Ruwa Romman delivering a moving couple of minutes in the wake of being barred from taking the DNC stage. Next, they dive deep into Kamala Harris' acceptance speech from last night's DNC, unpacking her rhetorical presentation as a tough counterweight to Walz's empathy, her appropriate dissection of the threat of Donald J. Trump, and an unapologetic focus on reproductive justice and rights. After expanding on her role as Biden's replacement candidate, Emma and Bradley parse through the disappointing emphasis by Harris on US empire and primacy, alongside some hypocritical commentary on Trump's support for brutal regimes. They wrap up the free half by reflecting on some initial reactions from undecided voters to Harris and the DNC. And in the Fun Half: Emma and Bradley parse through some of your responses to Harris' acceptance speech last night and the first half coverage, also walking through how she sizes up to some theoretical alternatives. Donald Trump melts down on Fox over the acknowledgment of Harris' momentum and Dems' inhumane treatment of Joe Biden, before getting bumped for Gutfeld. Matt from Orange County touches on some historical parallels with the current moment in the decline of the US Empire. Emma and Brandon unpack Israel's increasing concentration of Gazans in more and more dangerous areas, watch Nancy Pelosi finally pin the loss of the House on the NY Dems, and parse through the DOJ's RealPage anti-trust case, plus, your calls and IMs!

In our news wrap Friday, Indian Prime Minister Modi met with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, the White House described ongoing Gaza cease-fire talks as "constructive," a Canadian rail workers union issued a strike warning, 16 GOP-led states sued to end a Biden program that gives immigrants married to U.S. citizens a path to citizenship, and the DOJ filed an antitrust lawsuit against RealPage. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

White House national security spokesperson John Kirby told reporters today that ceasefire and hostage talks are “moving forward.” In a new lawsuit, the Justice Department alleges that real estate company RealPage uses landlord data to artificially inflate the price of rent nationwide. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell strongly indicated that a rate cut is coming next month, but the size of that relief remains to be seen. Reuters reports that fast fashion retailer Shein says it found two cases of child labor at its suppliers last year.

A housing cartel? No, not in a lawless narco-state, but in major American cities, where corporate landlords have been accused of conspiring with Texas-based real estate software company RealPage to drive up rents.  Most recently, Atlanta-based Cortland Management, one of America's largest landlords, was served a warrant by the FBI concerning an ongoing antitrust investigation into multifamily housing price-fixing by the Department of Justice (DOJ). According to Cortland Management's website, the company is worth $218 billion and manages 85,000 units in 13 states.

San Francisco is now the first city in the nation to ban rent-setting technology such as that offered by RealPage. City supervisors completely banned the sale and use of that software in a unanimous vote on July 30th. They say it has made the affordability crisis worse by raising apartment rents above competitive levels. RealPage says the city is not focusing on the real problem.

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines from an eventful weekend. First, they run through updates on the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, Trump's stolen documents case, Israel's continuing slaughter of Gaza in the face of supposed ceasefire negotiations, Trump's polling, the RNC, Biden's candidacy, Giuliani's legal (and now financial) woes, Houston's devastating (and ongoing) power outage, and the DOJ vs. RealPage, before beginning their deep dive into the stunning security failures that led the Trump assassination attempt, parsing through multiple videos and first-hand accounts that demonstrate awareness of the shooter by both citizens and security officials in the leadup to the first shots. Continuing with the coverage, Sam and Emma walk through the developing background information on the shooter, the history of presidential assassination attempts and their various motives, and the evolving narrative around the shooting, with accusations against Biden, arguments for unity, and good ol' fashioned DEI-dog whistling all coming from just the GOP. Next, they look to the news cycle of yesteryear as they tackle the growing resignation amid the Democratic establishment over the losing battle that is Biden's candidacy, Biden's (likely empty) promises of a progressive second term, and what we can make of the influence of progressives like Bernie and AOC amid this mess. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma parse through the story around another major military resignation, this time by Mohammed Abu Hashem of the US Air Force, over the continuing slaughter in Gaza, before diving into the recent response by RFK Jr. to the exposé about him in Vanity Fair – and his telling refusal to deny the sexual assault allegations. The MR Team also unpacks the future of the US electoral system and outsider parties, expands on the US support for Israel with Brandon from Rochester, and speaks with a few longtime callers, including A Squared, about the comparative horror of this moment in recent US history, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with Judd Legum, proprietor of the Popular Information newsletter on SubStack, to discuss his recent piece entitled “Feds raid corporate landlord, escalating nationwide criminal probe of rent increases.” Then, he speaks with Usamah Andrabi, communications director & spokesperson for Justice Democrats, to discuss Rep. Jamaal Bowman's upcoming primary in New York and AIPAC's spending efforts against the Squad. First, Sam runs through updates on the UN's ceasefire proposal, continuing carnage in Gaza, GOP primary results, the conviction of Hunter Biden, slowing inflation rates, the US' disregard for Leahy law, more Alito-family leaks, North Carolina's mask ban, the permeation of microplastics, and Chiquita's liability for paramilitary action in Columbia, before watching the GOP attempt to spin the Hunter Biden conviction as yet ANOTHER attack on Donald Trump. Judd Legum then joins, diving right into the story, originally broken by ProPublica a few years ago, of RealPage's rent-pricing algorithm for landlords, and how the prevalent usage of RealPage in housing markets allows corporate landlords to eschew direct conspiracy yet reap all the benefits of collusion, from raised and fixed rents to artificial market constraints. After unpacking some of the finer elements of RealPage's “property management” software, Legum looks to the development of multiple major lawsuits against RealPage, including class-action suits in Atlanta and DC, unpacks the evidence that has come through discovery, and tackles the FBI's recent raid of a corporate landlord's offices in a major development to a criminal anti-trust case against RealPage, before wrapping up with a brief assessment of landlord liability in a federal criminal case. Usamah Andrabi then joins, jumping right into the incredibly Manchin-esque campaign of conservative “Democrat” George Latimer, and how his AIPAC-funded run to unseat Jamaal Bowman has gone well beyond just unconditional support for Israel, with AIPAC's pro-Trump funders pushing a full rejection of Bowman's progressivism. After expanding on the astoundingly bigoted and anti-democratic campaign being run by Latimer, Andrabi and Sam tackle the need for Democrats to step up for their colleagues in the face of overwhelming amounts of right-wing money, and what to make of the recent Emerson poll showing a major gap between the two candidates, before touching on what those of us outside of New York can do to help. And in the Fun Half: Sam unpacks the sustained anti-PC delirium in comedy, aided by Julia Louis-Dreyfus' recent response to Seinfeld's anti-woke ramblings, Brian from LA tackles the Daily Wire's new animated show and the arrested development of right-wing humor, and Maryellen from Newark explores the sale of West Bank properties in the US. Sam also unpacks dropping inflation rates with little-to-no impact on the continuing housing crisis, Kett from Portland gives some timely Latimer gossip, the Alito-family leaks keep coming, and Morning Joe has a guest on to ponder the validity of civilian deaths in Gaza, plus, your calls and IMs!
