Donald Trump is focused on gold coins bearing his own face and his gilded ballroom.

Meanwhile, you’re focused on paying the rising costs of gas and groceries.

Don't agree with Cato Inst on much. But:

Very glad they have quantified what has been obvious for years.
The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.

The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

The main thing keeping Netanyahu out of Israeli court on corruption charges (which are unrelated to Gaza, somehow) is the ongoing conflict.

If the conflict stops, his head is back on the block.

So the conflict is never gonna stop.
