Having a visual of how much debt we're in is always helpful as looking at $40 Trillion seems incomprehensible. And to think, with all this waste, we could have healthcare, free school lunches, affordable housing, etc. 1 red cup = $1 Billion! Get out and VOTE! #ProudBlue 📹: yobencohen

Cities dumped Flock cameras over surveillance abuse, then signed with Axon instead. Same tracking tech, different logo. Oh, and Trump bought up to $5 million in Axon stock two weeks before ICE handed it a $220 million contract. Corruption of the highest level. #CostOfCorruption

Barron Trump's net worth increased by $150 million in just one year. Trump was asked how this happened over the weekend. He said, "it's none of your business." I remember when Republicans tried to impeach Joe Biden because his son Hunter sold some paintings for $50,000. GOP’s reaction: ……..none

The deal that U.S. President Donald Trump signed at Versailles in June set an ambitious 60-day deadline for ending the war with Iran and reaching an accord on its nuclear program. The deadline was Monday, and the two sides are further apart than they were then. to.pbs.org/45slfll

The 60-day deadline for a peace deal with Iran is expiring. Here's where things stand
Talks appear to be mostly indirect through mediators and have focused on reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

🚨Caught on camera: Ken Paxton PANICS when asked about owning 15 homes worth $9 million on a $153,000 government salary. Paxton dodges, stammers, then says “I’d like to keep today to law enforcement!” Classic Paxton—refuses to answer, cuts the presser short. Texans deserve better.

Wow. The ICE shooter in Maine asked his ex-wife to "to lie for him and to cover for his character." She said he was abusive and had previously reported concerns about him to his military superiors. He was also a volunteer firefighter, but was removed after several spats with department leadership.

The MSM is terminally stupid. The big news today is that retail sales are "robust", jumping 0.9% month-over-month in May, above forecasts of 0.5%. A search by category shows the biggest bulk of higher spending came at gas stations. This is not good, unless your name is Chevron. #EconSky

Indiana told the public it gave less than $1 million in data center subsidies in 2025. The real number? $655 million. And $561 million of that went to a single company: Amazon. While Hoosiers pay sales tax on groceries, Amazon paid nothing. This isn’t economic development. It’s a heist.

New records show some Indiana data centers have reported hundreds of millions in state sales and use tax exemptions.

DHS will require every green card applicant to leave the country before applying, even if they qualify for a green card or leaving would disqualify them. The agency has already cut green card approvals in half over the past year. Remember: it was never about legal immigration.
