To put this in perspective, the federal government spends *a combined* $33 billion each year on Title I (for low income families) and IDEA (for special needs students).
Breaking news: ICE expects to spend $38.3 billion on its plan to acquire warehouses across the U.S. and retrofit them into immigrant detention centers that can hold tens of thousands of people, according to agency documents.

No pizza for you Elon
Elon Musk, a pro-apartheid South African, may have come here believing the US was a bastion of English-Scots-Irish culture. (By the way, were the Irish welcomed by the English?)
My grandparents and so many others came here because of the promise of freedom, tolerance, equal rights, and opportunity.

It has been reported that Donald Trump's name appears in the Epstein files 38,000 times.
That is a lie.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) has said that when he searched for Trump in the unredacted files, Trump’s name came up “more than a million times.”
We should be calling them “The Trump Files.”

Uh-oh. Beer-guzzling Trumpies, there's trouble a brewin'
How Trump has torpedoed the US aluminum industry. Due to the impact of Trump's tariffs, the all-in cost of aluminum in America has surged to a record high well above $5,000 per mt (LME price + US Midwest premium). The impact would be soon felt on anything made with aluminum—including beer cans.
