U.S. government borrowed $43.5 billion a week in the first four months of the fiscal year | Fortune

Dear America, we're broke while this administration rakes in billions. Clearly capitalism was a failure in this country. The richest of the rich bankrupted our country for tax breaks.

"The longer lawmakers wait, the higher the price for Americans," warned Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.

San Antonio just finalized a warehouse property for a new detention center. I told my family I'm on the Bluesky database so if I disappear, try that location first. I travel with a copy of my original birth certificate, a copy of my SS card, my passport and real ID. What sad times we live in.
When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

Does greed really rot you to the core? These people will never spend billions in their lifetimes. Help me understand why seeing people suffer because you don't want to pay your fair share of taxes is so gratifying. They're not "elite." Stop calling them that. Billionaires are disgusting & vile.
KENNEDY: The Census Bureau is under your jurisdiction & responsible for defining what it means to be poor, is that right?

LUTNICK: I don't know

K: Well you need to look, bc it does. What's the % of Americans who live below poverty level?

L: I don't know

K: It's around 11%. It's been constant

Trump is actively making our goods more expensive by blocking a piece of key infrastructure - apparently all because his most Epstein-linked Cabinet Secretary conveyed a request from a billionaire GOP donor. America does not have to tolerate this kind of corruption.

Let's just go straight to the prison option please.
Rep. Walkinshaw leaving today’s ICE hearing: “All of this comes from Stephen Miller’s sick, twisted, deranged Great Replacement Theory.” He says when Dems have the majority they will subpoena Miller to testify: “If he doesn’t he will end up in prison for contempt.” @pabloreports.bsky.social

Damn‼️ This is a proposal I can support.
State legislatures across the country are churning out proposals to limit what ICE agents can do on the job. But some lawmakers are taking it even further, looking to prevent agents from taking on other government jobs once their time with ICE is over. Here are the states

Bills in multiple states aim to shut out ex-ICE agents from public-sector jobs
State lawmakers in California and Illinois have legislation that would bar ICE agents from getting hired at the state, county or local levels.

This administration needs to learn how to math
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...
