Reminder: Republicans blew up our national debt by TRILLIONS so they could give tax breaks to their billionaire buddies and foot working Americans with the bill.
National debt on track to rise to 120% of GDP in 2036 off of Trump policies
The U.S. government is spending much more than it raises, even in the absence of a recession, war or other crisis.

New study fr the libertarian Cato Institute analyzed 30 years of budget data (1994-2023) and found immigrants generated $14.5T in savings, cut deficits by 1/3, and prevented a potential debt crisis. Every education level contributed positively.

I think one of the biggest gaps in American civic culture among those opposed to authoritarianism is realistic threat-assessment literacy: the ability to understand how norms erode, how coercion works, and what factors, including resilient institutions, truly deter political coercion and violence.
