A proposal for a 50-year mortgage wasn’t fully vetted by top Trump administration officials and wasn’t ready to be made public, sources told CBS News. Over the weekend, top federal housing official Bill Pulte floated the idea with President Trump, who then approved a Truth Social post. Some Trump officials this week vented their frustration with Pulte over the move. One source said Mr. Trump was lukewarm about the suggestion but announced it “to get Pulte to shut up about it.” Another source disputed the characterization of the president as tepid about the mortgage proposal, however, and said 40-year and…

Wendy’s plans to close hundreds of U.S. restaurants in the coming months as revenue and profits decline, with the company citing cutbacks by lower-income consumers that it expects will persist through year’s end. On a Friday investor call, Ken Cook, Wendy’s interim CEO, didn’t disclose the exact number or locations of restaurants that it plans to shutter.

Wendy’s said the closures will start in the fourth…

You’ve seen the videos in newscasts and social feeds: Federal agents employing chokeholds, firing pepper spray at close range, and even using vehicle maneuvers to control immigration protests. These videos have spurred debate over whether agents have violated federal policies on use of force, which is authorized “only when no reasonably effective, safe, and feasible alternative appears to exist,” according to Department of Homeland Security policies.

We asked Eric Balliet, a career federal agent who…

The Dallas Mavericks have fired general manager Nico Harrison, effective immediately, the team announced on Tuesday. The team appointed Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi as co-interim general managers while the team searches for a replacement.

As a public figure with a massive social media following, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy is no stranger to threats and abuse online. But recently, the entrepreneur says he’s become “far more aware” of how he could face these threats in everyday life. “You know, you start getting into these yahoos on social media, and there’s, like, yahoos,” Portnoy told “CBS Mornings” co-host Tony Dokoupil in an interview airing on “CBS Sunday Morning” this weekend. “I don’t even know what they’re saying. But they start talking about me, trying to get my name probably used because they’re just in this…
