brb, getting a degree in forensic accounting
this is why i keep asking about the federal government's books, because everything they're doing is the kind of thing that creates massive accounting disruptions, and it's like no one in political media has even given a single thought to it
Something that's just occurred to me is how are they going to account for these payments when the shutdown ends? Like, if they act as if these were part of regular paid salaries, you're going to see some soldiers bring claims of "No, that was a private gift, pay my full wages on top of that please".

Concentration camps. Where people will die.
The Department of Homeland Security is funneling $10 billion through the Navy to help facilitate the construction of a sprawling network of migrant detention centers across the US in an arrangement aimed at getting the centers built faster. https://cnn.it/4oDFP9W

No need to import racists - we've produced plenty of them here in the US. If what you want are US Nazis, check out a Young Republican chat and Buy American.
The Trump admin wants to make the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program — which has saved people from wars and persecution for generations — into a program to bring more Europeans into the United States who "oppos[e] mass migration."

The President of the United States is living in an alternate reality and it's long past time for media outlets to start talking about it.
We're beyond "Trump said without evidence." Trump is governing a world that only exists in his warped mind.

About 1 in 3 US Nobel prize winners are immigrants.
About 1 in 4 were government employees at some point.
About 44% of all Nobel prize winners were educated in US higher education.
As Trump demands a Nobel prize, he is destroying the means by which America came to dominate the prizes.

Two things of note in today's announcement of the 2025 Nobel physics prize (besides the work being honored).
1: The US institutional dominance of the prize continues.
2: 2 of the three laureates are immigrants, drawn here decades ago by the then-unmatched opportunities for science here...
