“The mounting level of US government debt, on track for $40 trillion courtesy of this summer’s “big beautiful bill,” risks a tectonic crash for the US economy”

Life is exhausting these days for lots of us, and I think I’ve figured out why.
I think it’s having to sit through the pretending...

The United States government just agreed to pay $1.8 billion to the United States president, approved by the president's own personal lawyer who represented him when he was convicted of 34 criminal counts.
This is the biggest scandal in all of American political history.
Just to clarify. I loathed him, before I even knew what party he might have affiliated with.
He was, to me, way back in the 80s, the epitome of what used to be called 'The Ugly American'.
I loathe him even more now.
I just want him gone.

A free press does not exist to protect presidents from uncomfortable evidence. It exists to put relevant facts before the public.

Dear @Flotus
STFU
This country has been divided with violent rhetoric by your evil, insane husband
This is Donald Trump's America. If you find its tone of discourse unsatisfactory, fix it, take it up with the mindless creature you have enabled - or just leave
Signed,
America
Melania has no idea how free speech works. The same amendment that allows her husband to lie about everything from Epstein to Iran also lets people make fun of her and her thin skinned husband. No one asked her to move to the US.

We have so many problems that we could be solving, together, for all of us, right now, if we didn't have a President who cares only about himself. #TRUMPMUSTGONOW
Melania - Your husband was gleeful about the deaths of Robert Mueller & Rob Reiner, he yells at & demeans female reporters on a weekly basis, he encouraged a mob to endanger the life of his former Vice President. And on and on. . .
So, Melania, America is asking you to kindly f*ck all the way off.
KIMMEL: “You know how sometimes you wake up and the First Lady demands you be fired? We’ve all been there, right? — I agree hateful, violent rhetoric is something we should reject… a great place to start to dial that back would be to talk to your husband.”
To be clear, whenever fascist republican scum like Karoline Leavitt mention President Obama’s middle name Hussein, it’s not to show respect, it’s for white supremacy purposes and to somehow paint him as complicit with terrorists. Their white hoods are always on display.
Fascist republicans said there’s no money for making healthcare affordable/universal healthcare program, but there was money to gift Argentina $40B, $400M (which is missing) for a trashy ballroom and a billion dollars a day to murder people with bombs.

Everyone should read or listen to this in order to understand what the real problem is in the USA. It is a gift article.
Nah. The real debate in America is between people who know Trump is evil and say so, and the people (like Laura!) who know Trump is corrupt and evil and lie about it for personal profit.
Netanyahu told Fox News host Sean Hannity that the assault on Iran “is not an endless war.”
He famously said the same thing in 2002 about the Iraq War.
His prediction that removing Saddam Hussein would bring “positive reverberations” after the 2003 Iraq invasion did not come to fruition.
Always remember that the American state media attacked President Biden relentlessly more for his age as he was doing good work than they ever have with the orange felon who is setting the world on fire out of spite and revenge. They deliberately and consistently failed humanity.
U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
The military industrial complex is cheering today.
Trump has a majority of white voters on his side and they are his voting legions. He has corporate USA and billionaires on his side. they own mostly everything and can put their MAGA fortunes behind any cause he wants, because he delivers for them. Welcome to the USA!
Jesse Watters: "Why is it that every time these martyrs pop up, we have to look into it? And then when you report the truth about these people -- Renee Good, not necessarily someone stuck in traffic. She was a well-trained anti-ICE warrior who was hellbent on her TDS!"
Rand Paul: "There has to be an investigation. I don't know who trusts an investigation done by DHS when they're the ones calling this person an 'assassin,' a 'domestic terrorist,' saying he was assaulting police. How can they be in charge of an independent investigation? Something's got to happen."
He tried to help two women. He struck no agent. He was pepper sprayed and beaten to his hands and knees by seven. One clubbed him. He never pulled the gun and it was taken. Then, they shot him in the back; stepped back and shot into his dead body again. There is no justification for this.
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
60 Minutes correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Scott Pelley are reportedly at risk of losing their jobs at CBS News following their criticism of the network’s editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, a Trump sycophant.
It does seem strange Trump has completely lawless people looking for supposed lawless immigrants 🤔🤨. One thing for sure, this administration is fascist,racist,bigoted and vile. And we’ve all seen their hypocrisy. But you don’t have to take my word for it. Everyday is another chapter in Trump chaos.
