The U.S. borrowed $50 billion a week for the past five months, finds the CBO: 'Our fiscal problems will not solve themselves' | Fortune "We need policymakers to come together, agree to reduce deficits ... and put our national debt on a downward sustainable path as a share of the economy."

Oh yeah, the "fiscal conservatives" are in charge. Aren't they connected to the "pro-lifers"?

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, and discrimination are viruses, magnified by suffering, carried in buckets, spilled onto the world.

We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.

The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers.

So who can stop this? State attorneys general. Here's how. ⬇️

Binyamin Netanyahu has his war If it goes wrong, he will also get the blame

Donald Trump has become the partner Israel’s prime minister has always longed for: one willing to embrace the belief that β€œsoft power is good, but hard power is even better”

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Johnston County commissioner candidate charged in hit and run involving school bus Chad Stewart allegedly rear-ended a stopped school bus and then drove around and left the scene.

#32/2026
County commissioner candidate Chad Stewart [R-NC] was charged with a hit-and-run after he smashed his Corvette into a stopped school bus carrying children and then shockingly fled the scene instead of making sure everyone was safe.

He literally sped away from a bus of kids he crashed into.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Even election officials who like voter ID have issues with the SAVE America Act "It's a classic 'show your papers’ law designed to make it harder for US citizens to vote," Sec. Jocelyn Benson said.

Even some of the SAVE America Act’s cosponsors are misguided about the bill’s identification requirements for registration, mistakenly believing a state driver’s license compliant with the 2005 REAL ID Act would be sufficient. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
