"Our national debt continues to pose an existential threat to the future of our nation," says House Budget Chair Jodey Arrington, who has led GOP-only bills that increase the national debt by $3.4 trillion (OBBB), $72 billion (ICE/CBP) and $95 billion (Recon 3, in progress).
The U.S. national debt just hit $40 trillion, according to the Treasury Department.

I am posting about things that interest me to my own personal social media feed, the same as everyone else here.
Will, you are literally going out of your way to get dogpiled every single day.
You can try to say "I'm just asking questions" but Charlie Kirk was better at that rhetorical trick than you, and people STILL saw through it.
If this is a kink thing, go find a pro domme. If not, just go away.

This guy is just bluesky Matt Iglesias.
Politics aside, do people believe city-run grocery stores with deeply discounted prices are a good POLICY idea? What are they intended to accomplish, in your view? What problem do they solve? Would you implement them if not running for election? I'm sincerely curious in people's answers here.

It seems like alot of the most well known sycophants are getting fed with trying to rationalize and normalize trumps actions as he grows more and more ridiculous. Which is a good thing because he has to lose their support if you actually want to remove him from office.

My issue with the Crockett talarico primary is that talarico supporters(many of whom are not texas residents interestingly) grant a large amount of respect and loyalty that is entirely unearned by him. He is a state representative who says vaguely populist things! i seriously don't get why people

This thread is 100% accurate and it's one reason I'm voting for Jasmine Crockett.
I don't want a senator "in the prophetic tradition." I want a fighter who understands policy and governance.

🧵Why Talarico’s faith works 🧵
It’s not lost on me that Talarico is doing what clergyfolk from King to Heschel have done. His credential to critique the hijacking of God’s name by fanatics derives *directly* from how seriously he takes faith in his own life. That puts him in the prophetic tradition.

Lmao at all the scolds saying "elections are run by The states he can't rig them!" Congratulations you're very intellectual.
Here's @rickhasen.bsky.social detailing the scenario in which Trump uses search warrant to seize ballot boxes in a contested 2026 locale. This is more worrisome than ICE at the polls. Hasen also suggests ways to act against this now.
It's harrowing stuff:

ICE are running around in the streets using facial recognition on random people and telling anyone filming them they're a domestic terrorist and Democrats solution is to equip every ICE agent with their very own body-worn surveillance camera

STOP ASKING *THE PUBLIC* TO REMAIN CALM. You're talking to the wrong people. Demand that ICE and CBP stop murdering residents and then demand that they leave the city immediately.
We are aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave. We are working to confirm additional details. We ask the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area.
