‘This cannot be sustainable’: The U.S. borrowed $50 billion a week for the past five months, the CBO says
"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."
The U.S. Treasury’s borrowing showed no signs of slowing with the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reporting that another $1 trillion was added to the federal deficit in the first five months of the year.
Of course, with more borrowing comes higher interest costs on the debt.

This afternoon, Senate Republicans blocked a bill to fund TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, and Cyber Defense. Americans shouldn't have to wait in hour long lines at airports while workers go without pay, simply because the GOP refuse to address accountability and commonsense reforms at ICE and CBP.

“There is NO way that Jared and Ivanka didn't know about the Alexander family's crimes. The allegations against the Alexanders go back to their high school days, where they gang-raped girls together; every step of their life is riddled with horrific rape allegations. "Even then, everybody knew," one real-estate agent who worked with Oren and Tal said about a notorious birthday party in 2015.”

BREAKING: PEDO CRIME FAMILY? Jared and Ivanka’s real estate broker found guilty of ALL counts in major sex-trafficking conspiracy trial!
Well, well, well. Seems like Donald isn’t the only Trump who eagerly associated himself with vicious perverts. Israeli real estate moguls Tal, Oren, and Alon Alexander were convicted on all counts in a New York court of a years-long conspiracy to traffic and rape women.
“They used a consistent playbook to lure, isolate and rape their victims,” said prosecutor Andrew Jones, in a closing argument, “and not only did they commit these crimes without remorse, they did it with callousness, with a perverse sense of pride.”
Jurors heard testimony from 11 women and even watched a video of one of them assaulting a 17-year-old girl.
In classic Trumpian fashion, they tried to argue that they were just playboys and the women had just taken too much alcohol and drugs on their own volition, when they had really been drugging them.
Oren Alexander sold Jared and Ivanka their $24 million Florida mansion in 2021. The brothers were reportedly connected to the Kushners through their shared social circles, as they were all involved in real estate and lived in the same exclusive Miami enclave of Bal Harbor.
Both the Alexander brothers and the Kushner family attended the 2020 White House Hanukkah celebration, further highlighting their social ties.

Schatz: We don’t know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement — way more tolerance for civilian harm.

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

CBO monthly budget review, Feb 2026 released yesterday, showed that the gov is estimated to have borrowed $308 billion last month alone. In just five months, the Treasury forked out a total of $433 billion to service public debt, which is now nearing $38.9 trillion.👿

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

It was a lie, not an opinion. A blatant and obvious lie. Something he knew was a lie. And not just another one of the hundreds of lies he tells every day - a lie about the killing of at least 175 people, mostly girls who were attending school. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Netanyahu has tried for years to get a US president to go along with his desire for a war with Iran. He finally found one. Then he used chemical weapons on Lebanon. This man is committing war crimes and igniting hatred that will start more killings and destruction everywhere.
