The debt is at 40 trillion. Who is paying for this? Where is all of the money that right wing con artists stole? They stole a lot more than tax dollars too. How do we recoup the cost of this giant heist?

The unite the right wing movement in action, planning, rhetoric, etc. is to weaken American defenses, institutions, infrastructure, sources of power, connection to reality, nature, and normalcy, etc. Simultaneously, strengthening our adversaries, enemies, criminal regimes, etc. Everyone loses.

In our desperation to prevent another 9/11, we have spent billions building our own homegrown domestic terrorism threat.

After 25 Years, 9/11 Continues to Shape How America Policies Immigration
For a quarter century, America has treated immigration enforcement as a form of counterterrorism. Yet, instead of making us safer, it has given rise to an increasingly militarized agency that uses its vast surveillance network and policing powers to target and kill innocent people.

The movement that surrendered to the Taliban, and all of America's past defeated enemies, who had foreign "help" to win any election, and was caught cheating in myriad ways, precheating, disenfranchising, insurrection, NeoConfederate cheating, plans to cheat in this one too. Traitors.

In 18,734 World Trade Center responders, greener neighborhoods were associated with lower risks of frailty, PTSD, and depression decades after 9/11. Hotter, more polluted areas were linked to higher risks.

Where 9/11 responders live may influence frailty, PTSD and depression decades later
Twenty-five years after the September 11 terrorist attacks, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have found that environmental conditions where World Trade Center responders live may influence their long-term physical and mental health.

After 9/11, thousands of rescue and cleanup crews went to work at ground zero. They were exposed to toxic debris and experienced psychological trauma. Today, many say they live in fear of deportation.

Trump's attacks on our civil liberties didn't come out of nowhere. The groundwork for his Orwellian surveillance state was laid by the post-9/11 PATRIOT Act. Only one Senator at the time had the foresight to see what it would unleash.

In an interview, Yves Trotignon, a former French intelligence official, describes how the 2001 attack plunged the West into an era of permanent terrorist threat. He explains that protracted conflicts led to abandoning 'certain forms of the rule of law.'
