As you grow your passive income sources, you'll become less reliant on your job to support your lifestyle. Investing in real estate investment trusts ( REITs ) can be a great way to start building your passive income. Several REITs offer high-yielding dividends that they pay monthly, making them ideally suited for generating recurring income . For example, $5,000 invested across a trio of monthly dividend REITs could produce nearly $275 of dividend income per year (almost $23 each month): Monthly Dividend Stock Investment Current Yield Annual Dividend Income EPR Properties ( EPR 0.49% ) $1,666.67 7.65% $127.50 Stag Industrial ( STAG 1.00% ) $1,666.67 4.07% $67.83 Gladstone Land ( LAND 1.95% ) $1,666.67 4.73% $78.83 Total $5,000.00 5.48% $274.17 Data source: Google Finance. Table by author. That income stream should grow as these REITs increase their dividends. Your ticket to a lucrative monthly income stream EPR Properties is a specialty REIT focused on owning experiential properties like movie theaters, eat-and-play venues, and attractions. The REIT leases these properties to tenants that operate the experiences. It typically gets paid a stable base rental rate and , in some cases, gets a cut of the property's revenue. The company is on track to generate $4.80-$4.92 per share of funds from operations ( FFO ) as adjusted this year . That's plenty of cash flow to cover its monthly dividend payment of $0.285 per share ($3.42 annualized). EPR Properties retains the excess cash to fund new income-generating experiential property investments. It will invest $225 million to $275 million into new properties this year, which includes development and redevelopment projects. The REIT expects new property investments to grow its FFO per share by around a 3% to 4% annual rate . That should enable it to increase its dividend by about a similar rate (it raised its payout by 3.6% this year). Multiple growth drivers Stag Industrial is an industrial REIT that owns warehouse and light manufacturing facilities. The company leases those properties to high-quality tenants under long-term contracts that escalate rents at a low-single-digit annual rate. The REIT currently pays out about 73% of its stable rental income via its monthly dividend. That enables it to retain about $100 million each year to fund new investments. Stag Industrial also has a very strong balance sheet, giving it additional cash to fund new income-generating industrial real estate investments. The company expects to invest $500 million to $700 million into acquiring additional properties this year. Demand for industrial real estate is robust these days due to the rising adoption of e-commerce and the onshoring of manufacturing. That's driving up rental rates for properties in the market. Stag Industrial is steadily capturing this market rent growth by signing new leases at higher market rates as legacy leases expire. The company has signed new and renewal leases at an average rental increase of about 30% this year compared to expiring rental rates. Rising rents (contractual and market) and new property additions are growing the REIT's FFO per share. That's enabling it to steadily raise its dividend, which it has done every year since it came public in 2011. Steady dividend growth Gladstone Land is a farmland REIT . It owns farms leased to farmers at either a fixed rate or participation rental rate, where it gets a portion of the annual crop revenue. The REIT routinely increases its monthly dividend (35 times over the last 39 quarters). The company grows its dividend by acquiring new farms. It also benefits from rent growth and rising crop income. For example, it recently renewed or amended eight leases of farms that grow annual row crops at an 11% higher rate compared to the prior lease rate. Gladstone Land has experienced some setbacks over the past year due to the impact of lower crop prices on some tenants. It has had to take back 20 farms that are either currently vacant or that it now directly operates. It has also had to renegotiate some other leases at lower initial rental rates in exchange for greater participation in future crop revenue. The company expects to work through these issues by the end of the year and should see higher revenue in the second half of 2025, when its farms harvest their crops. That should enable the REIT to continue growing its dividend in the future. Ideal passive income producers REITs are great passive income investments because they generate steady rental income that they distribute to investors. EPR Properties, Stag Industrial, and Gladstone Land pay attractive monthly dividends, making them ideal options for those seeking lots of recurring passive income.

Trump cites Hunter Biden pardon in bid to dismiss NY ‘hush money’ case

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and quarterback Brandon Allen spoke with reporters after Friday's practice as the team prepares for its Week 12 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Here's everything they said. Transcript provided by the San Francisco 49ers Communications staff. 49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan Opening comments: "Injuries for the game: [CB] Charvarius Ward will be out, [WR] Jacob Cowing, out, [LB] Tatum Bethune, out, [DL] Kevin Givens, out, [DL] Nick Bosa, out, [QB] Brock Purdy, out, [T] Trent Williams, questionable, [OL Jon] Feliciano, questionable. Go ahead." Is there any development with Brock's shoulder where it got downgraded during the week and is there long-term concern for it? "I don't want to say there's long-term concern. We got the MRI on Monday. We thought he just needed some rest and really weren't concerned about him not being good this week. But when he started up Thursday, just surprised him, surprised us, how it felt. So we had to shut him down. So, I really don't what to think of it. The MRI doesn't look like that, so it should be alright. But the way it responded this week, it's really up in the air for next week, so we'll have to see on Monday." Did it happen on the touchdown run? "He doesn't know in particular. I don't think so, but he can't remember a play that it specifically happened on." Is it one of those things where as time went on it just started to bother him? "Just complained about how tight it was throughout the game and it started happening throughout the game. That's why he was warming up just a lot more than usual. He said he had a hard time keeping it loose and then after the game is when it really started to hurt and then Monday morning is really why he had to go get an MRI for it." Will QB Brandon Allen start? "Yes." What do you like about Brandon? "I think Brandon's a really good thrower, runs our offense well. He's done a really good job since he's been here, been here two years now. Guys believe in him and believe he'll give us a good chance to win." Was one of the positives about Brandon that the offense doesn't change very much with him in there? That he's like Purdy in a lot of ways that you don't really skip a beat. "Yeah, there's not a big game-plan adjustment, this is something that we didn't think would happen early in the week. We were fully preparing for Brock to go and getting a little surprised about this yesterday. Nothing has to change, so that's a good deal for us." Without Purdy and without Bosa, the situation obviously doesn't look great and it's the NFL, everyone will say you guys have no chance, but things have happened. I guess, what is your message to the team when you face this kind of adversity? "I think we've had a real good week of practice. I know it's disappointing. We knew there was a chance for Nick, I think the guys were a little surprised with Brock yesterday, but we addressed all that today and we're going to have 48 guys in uniform. I know our guys believe in themselves. I believe in them. We're missing two good players, definitely, but we've got a lot of good players out there. So by no means do we not have a chance to win. We're going to go fight our tails off and expect this to be a real good game." With Mooney, he just needed some more time? "Yeah, just taking three full weeks off, it's not like dealing with all that stuff he's getting workouts in or anything like that, so we were just happy to get him back in the building this week. We didn't want to put any pressure on him by any means to get ready to play. He just wanted to get back into the feel. He had two-and-a-half good days of practice. I say half just because of what today's like, but hopefully he'll be good to go next week." Has Trent shown progress or is it still right up to kick off? "It's still right up to kickoff." Does the fact that you went through three quarterbacks a couple years ago and still made the NFC Championship give the team hope knowing that you've been through this kind of adversity before? "I don't think they look at it that way. It's good to have that story and stuff, but I think why they have hope is because they're with Brandon every single day. I know outside of here people haven't seen a lot of Brandon because he hasn't had to go in yet. But this is Brandon's second year. They see him on scout team all the time. Obviously guys want Brock up, but guys are excited to see Brandon play." Given that Brandon had been sort of in your coaching tree so to speak, with Los Angeles Rams Head Coach Sean McVay and with Green Bay Packers Head Coach Matt LaFleur and Cincinnati Bengals Head Coach Zac Taylor who had been with Sean, did he pick things up quickly as soon as he got here? "He picked things up just being a vet and stuff. I'd say the coaching tree's a little overrated. It branches off. We're all from the same places, but he looks at things where he has been, things are all subtly different, but he's got a lot of experience, been around a while and he's been comfortable and we've been comfortable with him since his first day here." How did how did Charvarius Ward get through practice this week and where is he at? "I thought he did a real good job getting through the week. We threw him out. He got to ease in there doing all the scout-team stuff. I thought he really gave us good looks all week. Got his body feeling just more confident each day. Just talking to him, I think he's in a good spot and we all know he's grieving a lot and we know that never fully stops. But I think it has been somewhat therapeutic for him to get out on the football field and things like that and be able to focus a little bit on his craft for just a little bit. He's always going through that and it's nice that we can be here for him as much as we can with him back in the building." QB Joshua Dobbs was disappointed as he would expect to be when he wasn't the backup. How has he been as the third guy all year running the scout team doing what you asked? "He's been awesome. They split the scout team reps so they both get equal reps over there throughout the year and really loved having him in the room. And he's been great on the field too." We haven't asked you about Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love yet. What do you like about him and what's unique about him? "Just how big of a threat he is. He's a thrower. There's not a throw he can't make. I love his mindset, how aggressive he is. He's always trying to end you. He's always going for the big plays, and he's got the skillset with his feet too that when things aren't there he can make a lot of plays. Big, tall guy, very athletic, and we know how good he's been these two years and he is going to be good for a long time." Will Brock stay behind for treatment rather than travel? "No, he'll come with us." Same with Bosa? "No, Bosa will stay here." 49ers QB Brandon Allen Head coach Kyle Shanahan said for a while this week he thought QB Brock Purdy was going to be okay and would play. When did you have a sense like you might be starting? "Today, really. I know he had a plan for his shoulder all week. He was going to rest it a little bit on Wednesday. I think we kind of split reps there on Wednesday, he was going to rest it a little bit. And then I think the plan was Thursday to come out and practice and I guess just in warmups, just wasn't feeling right. Still expected him to kind of go in, get treatment, come back. But, yeah. Kind of found out today." This defense has taken the ball away at a really high rate. What do they look like on film to you? "Yeah, solid defense. Obviously, their defense is a key part in why they have a pretty good record and they do a great job of forcing turnovers. So it'll be our job to protect the ball, keep it in our guys' hands. And that's really, throughout the NFL, that's a big key to winning games is protecting the football." Obviously, your job is to prepare every week like it's going to be this week, but it's maybe it's easier said than done, I don't know. Does it feel different to you right now, now that you know that you'll be playing? "Preparation really hasn't changed besides just getting more reps. I think that's really been the only difference this week, was actually getting to throw to some of the guys and getting live reps with [WR Jauan Jennings] J.J., [WR] Deebo [Samuel Sr.], [TE] George [Kittle], all those guys, [WR] Ricky [Pearsall]. So that was really the only main difference for me this week." Obviously, you don't want Brock to have an injury, but are you excited about this? "Yeah, it's an opportunity. The circumstances are what they are, but I think our team, all year long, we've been kind of dealing with injuries here and there and it's been a big next-man-up mentality. So it's definitely an opportunity for me to go out and play well and put our guys in a good position to win the game. And obviously, we want Brock back and healthy and all that, but for the time being it is an opportunity for me." You had all last year in this system as well. What's kind of your state of comfort or readiness to take this on? "I feel very comfortable in the offense. Definitely going back to last year and then all through this year, just being in the system, calling the plays, seeing them play out, all that. So, I definitely feel comfortable in this offense." Can you kind of speak from a quarterback's perspective of, if there's a throwing shoulder injury, what kind of fear that strikes for a quarterback and whether you've been through something like that? "I really wouldn't be able to say, to be honest. I know this is like the first time Brock's missed a game, probably in his life, and he's a tough guy, I'm sure he will bounce right back. I'm not too worried about, I don't think any of our guys are. He'll rehab and get back as fast as he can. And as far as shoulders, it happens. I don't think it'll be anything lingering or long-term for him." Is there anything you've been able to take away from Brock as far as the way he prepares that helps you? I know you worked behind Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow, but I know Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold cited Brock's preparation last year. "Yeah, he's unbelievable, the way he prepares. And you kind of have to to be able to execute this offense well. There are a lot of motions, a lot of shifts, a lot of things that go into it. And to be on top of all that, and you've seen him on the road doing all that with silent cadence and all that. So there is a lot that goes into it. And his preparation kind of was, when I first got here last year, watching him do, I was like, 'Okay, this is kind of how you have to study here.' Because you can go other places and offenses aren't as, aren't as complex, aren't as difficult so you can still study but you're looking at the same things week-to-week. But in this offense, we really do a good job moving guys around and getting guys open. So there's a lot of studying that goes into it. So watching him prepare and the way he does, I've definitely tried to model my preparation after him." Does the fact that you've had background with the Shanahan tree, so to speak, I think even back with former quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello, I think had been a Shanahan coach. And then you had Cincinnati head coach Zac Taylor and Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay and Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, you've dealt with all those guys. Did that give you some help in running up to this? "Yeah, I think especially going back to last year, I think first coming in and not just being blown away by the offense and all that because I've had similar reads, we call it different things here and there, but similar reads, similar progressions, pretty much the same routes type things. I do think it helped just in terms of me being comfortable when I first got here. But even so, we do different things and there's more preparation that goes into that. But like I said, going back to last year and this year, I feel pretty comfortable." Not suggesting that you're about to leave the NFL, but you're 32. Has it ever crossed your mind, like, "Will I ever get another opportunity?" "I take everything one day at a time. For me, it is my opportunity now, so I'll take advantage of it now. But those things really don't cross my mind, how long you're gonna play and all that. There are definitely guys older than me still playing, so that usually doesn't come across my mind." What's it been like with your teammates? I know this kind of just happened, but have they kind of rallied around you? You're coming in, in a very critical part of the season for the team. "Yeah, I think they've done a great job all week. Like I said, we have a big next-man-up mentality, so nothing's really changed for those guys. They work every week. And I think we've had a really good week of practice and getting our timing down with me throwing the ball and all that with some of the guys just because we don't have the built up reps that Brock does with them. But I think it's been a blessing having those guys in the huddle with me and some of the leadership that's in that huddle so I can just come in and fill the spot for Brock for now and just try to make some plays and get the ball in their hands." Do you have to guard against not trying to do too much, trying to go out there and win the game rather than just do your job? "I don't know about that, but I don't think I've ever been the type to try to do too much. But as a quarterback, my job is just to get the ball to our playmakers. And so, that's my plan going into the game." Did you get a message from Brock? Did he say anything to you when it was official? "Yeah, I just talked to him. He believes in me, says, 'You're here for a reason. Go in, step up, play well.' He'll be back, so I'm not worried about it."

However, Trump's emphasis on fair payment within NATO has sparked debate both within the alliance and among US policymakers. Critics argue that focusing solely on defense spending overshadows the broader strategic and geopolitical importance of NATO. They point out that NATO provides a crucial framework for transatlantic security cooperation and serves as a deterrent to potential adversaries. By framing the issue primarily in terms of financial contributions, Trump risks undermining the political and military cohesion that has been the foundation of NATO for decades.WASHINGTON (AP) — For years, Pat Verhaeghe didn’t think highly of Donald Trump as a leader. Then Verhaeghe began seeing more of Trump’s campaign speeches online and his appearances at sporting events. There was even the former president’s pairing with Bryson DeChambeau as part of the pro golfer’s YouTube channel series to shoot an under-50 round of golf while engaging in chitchat with his partner. “I regret saying this, but a while ago I thought he was an idiot and that he wouldn’t be a good president,” said the 18-year-old first-time voter. “I think he’s a great guy now.” Verhaeghe isn't alone among his friends in suburban Detroit or young men across America. Although much of the electorate shifted right to varying degrees in 2024, young men were one of the groups that More than half of men under 30 supported Trump, , a survey of more than 120,000 voters, while Democrat Joe Biden had won a similar share of this group four years earlier. White men under 30 were solidly in Trump’s camp this year — about 6 in 10 voted for Trump — while young Latino men were split between the two candidates. Most Black men under 30 supported Democrat Kamala Harris, but about one-third were behind Trump. Young Latino men’s views of the Democratic Party were much more negative than in 2020, while young Black men’s views of the party didn’t really move. About 6 in 10 Latino men under 30 had a somewhat or very favorable view of the Democrats in 2020, which fell to about 4 in 10 this year. On the other hand, about two-thirds of young Black men had a favorable view of the Democrats this year, which was almost identical to how they saw the party four years ago. “Young Hispanic men, and really young men in general, they want to feel valued," said Rafael Struve, deputy communications director for Bienvenido, a conservative group that focused on reaching young Hispanic voters for Republicans this year. “They're looking for someone who fights for them, who sees their potential and not just their struggles.” Struve cited the during a July rally in Pennsylvania as one of the catalyzing moments for Trump’s image among many young men. Trump, Struve said, was also able to reach young men more effectively by like podcasts and digital media outlets. “Getting to hear from Trump directly, I think, really made all the difference," Struve said of the former president's appearances on digital media platforms and media catering to Latino communities, like town halls and business roundtables Trump attended in Las Vegas and Miami. Not only did Trump spend three hours on Joe Rogan's chart-topping podcast, but he took up DeChambeau's “Break 50” challenge for the golfer's more than 1.6 million YouTube subscribers. Trump already had an edge among young white men four years ago, although he widened the gap this year. About half of white men under 30 supported Trump in 2020, and slightly less than half supported Biden. Trump's were bigger. His support among both groups increased by about 20 percentage points, according to AP VoteCast — and their feelings toward Trump got warmer, too. It wasn’t just Trump. The share of young men who identified as Republicans in 2024 rose as well, mostly aligning with support for Trump across all three groups. “What is most alarming to me is that the election is clear that America has shifted right by a lot,” said William He, founder of Dream For America, a liberal group that works to turn out young voters and supported Harris’ presidential bid. With his bombastic demeanor and a policy agenda centered on a more , Trump framed much of his campaign as a pitch to men who felt scorned by the country’s economy, culture and political system. Young women also slightly swung toward the former president, though not to the degree of their male counterparts. It's unclear how many men simply did not vote this year. But there's no doubt the last four years brought changes in youth culture and how political campaigns set out to reach younger voters. Democrat Kamala Harris' campaign rolled out policy agendas tailored to Black and Latino men, and the campaign enlisted a range of leaders in Black and Hispanic communities to make the case for the vice president. Her campaign began with a from many young voters, epitomized in memes and the campaign's embrace of pop culture trends like the pop star . Democrats hoped to channel that energy into their youth voter mobilization efforts. “I think most young voters just didn’t hear the message,” said Santiago Mayer, executive director of Voters of Tomorrow, a liberal group that engages younger voters. Mayer said the Harris campaign’s pitch to the country was “largely convoluted” and centered on economic messaging that he said wasn’t easily conveyed to younger voters who were not already coming to political media. “And I think that the policies themselves were also very narrow and targeted when what we really needed was a simple, bold economic vision,” said Mayer. Trump also embraced pop culture by appearing at UFC fights, football games and appearing alongside comedians, music stars and social media influencers. His strategists believed that the former president’s ability to grab attention and make his remarks go viral did more for the campaign than paid advertisements or traditional media appearances. Trump's campaign also heavily cultivated networks of online conservative platforms and personalities supportive of him while also engaging a broader universe of podcasts, streaming sites, digital media channels and meme pages open to hearing him. “The right has been wildly successful in infiltrating youth political culture online and on campus in the last couple of years, thus radicalizing young people towards extremism,” said He, who cited conservative activist groups like Turning Point USA as having an outsize impact in online discourse. “And Democrats have been running campaigns in a very old fashioned way. The battleground these days is cultural and increasingly on the internet.” Republicans may lose their broad support if they don't deliver on improving Americans' lives, Struve cautioned. Young men, especially, may drift from the party in a post-Trump era if the party loses the president-elect's authenticity and bravado. Bienvenido, for one group, will double down in the coming years to solidify and accelerate the voting pattern shifts seen this year, Struve said. “We don’t want this to be a one and done thing,” he said. ___ Associated Press writer Joey Cappelletti in Lansing, Michigan, and AP polling editor Amelia Thomson-DeVeaux contributed to this report.

Top campaign staff from Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential run have revealed that the popular YouTube show "Hot Ones," which often invites celebrities to be interviewed while eating wings that increase in spice level, refused to host Harris. Harris' staff retroactively evaluated her campaign in a Pod Save America podcast episode, in which they admitted that they attempted to get her onto "Hot Ones" as a guest, but the team behind the show declined their offer. The showrunners "didn't want to delve into politics," Stephanie Cutter, who ran messaging and media strategy for Harris, said on the podcast. "'Hot Ones,' which is a great show, they didn't wanna do any politics, so they weren't going to take us or [Trump]," Cutter said. "So that was the issue." Cutter further indicated that this was the response the Harris team received "across the board" when trying to get her onto similar non-partisan shows, despite some of these shows later welcoming then-presidential candidate Donald Trump onto their platforms. "I don't think he had the same problem," Jen O'Malley Dillon, a former Harris campaign manager, said. She noted that the Trump campaign "certainly was able to tap into some cultural elements in ways that we couldn't." Podcast host Dan Pfeiffer, a former communications director for Barack Obama, was shocked at "the idea that it would be more politically problematic to have on Kamala Harris, the sitting vice president of the United States, than Donald Trump, a man who's been convicted of a crime and tried to violently overthrow the election." Harris' campaign staff also reiterated their candidate's willingness to appear on the Joe Rogan podcast , noting that they attempted to get her on the podcast when she visited Austin, Texas, where Rogan lives, for her rally with Beyoncé . However, Trump was reportedly recording his episode on the podcast that same day, so they said scheduling issues prevented the episode from happening.
