If Treasury returns are up that means the government is paying *more* to people who lend it money
This is a *BAD* thing
For the government, it makes everything more expensive
For investors, it means they don't have confidence that US debt is a good investment

This is why white Christian nationalism is so dangerous.
It emboldens people like this, and they indoctrinate children and create more white supremacists.
This will barely be covered by the mainstream media, and it deserves to be a much bigger story.

Your daily reminder from me that this administration operates like someone who abuses their partner.
They use hurt and fear to maintain power and control. They cannot tolerate pushback and refuse to take any responsibility for their actions.
And they always blame the victim for their violence.

The thing to understand about "age verification" laws is that they are not just for kids
The only way to "stop kids from doing xyz online" using age-gating is to demand a government ID (or invasive biometric face scan) from EVERYONE.
This means associating your gov ID with EVERYTHING YOU DO ONLINE
