A class-action lawsuit is looking to end questionable practices by the National Association of Realtors. While antitrust concerns have surrounded Realtors’ operations in the past, the association’s heavy lobbying may have prevented further investigation. We’ll talk about why this lawsuit might be different. Plus, we’ll do the numbers on the federal government’s ballooning interest bill. And, a lesson on laughter during trying times.

Here’s everything we talked about:

• • “Realtors Face an Antitrust Reckoning” from The Wall Street Journal

• • “Explain How REALTORS®, Local Broker Marketplaces Work” from the National Association of Realtors

• • “National Association of Realtors” from the National Association of Realtors

• • “National Assn of Realtors Profile: Summary” from OpenSecrets

• • “What long-term bond yields mean for U.S. fiscal outlook” from Axios

• •  “Pete Davidson offered the right words about the Israel-Hamas war” from Poynter
