More and more families are taking on debt, especially as buy now, pay later services like Klarna and Affirm become more widely available. And they’re not taking on debt to pay for bigger, luxury items. trib.al/OwPcXSZ
What Does It Mean to Be in an “Affordability Crisis”?
Democrats are running on fixing it. Trump is running from it. But what does this year’s trendy political buzzword really mean?

Maya Angelou memoir, Holocaust book are among those pulled from Naval Academy library in DEI purge

The order, citing a push to “dramatically” reduce the federal government, labeled the Presidio Trust an “unnecessary governmental entity.” Republicans argue that the Trust’s funds should be returned to the U.S. government rather than reinvested locally.

This sounds good, but I'm concerned if startups sell untested "innovative" products/supplements, capitalizing on women's health concerns and inadequate healthcare. Just speculating, but we've seen similar issues with companies like Goop and Hers.

The reason Musk is wanting to “cut wasteful” spending is because if it’s not covering his and his friends’ tax breaks from 2017, it’s wasteful. He intends on using that money to pay for their lifestyles. He needs $4 TRILLION. Cutting Medicaid is getting him $2 Trillion. He’s stealing from the ppl! 😡

We passed a bill in committee yesterday that felonizes elected officials if they vote against Trump’s immigration policy. Let that sink in. Duly elected officials will go to jail- will have a criminal record- if they do not vote for and support Trump’s policies.
