Reminder: Republicans blew up our national debt by TRILLIONS so they could give tax breaks to their billionaire buddies and foot working Americans with the bill.
National debt on track to rise to 120% of GDP in 2036 off of Trump policies
The U.S. government is spending much more than it raises, even in the absence of a recession, war or other crisis.

The House votes to slap back President Trump's tariffs on Canada in a rare bipartisan rebuke of the White House agenda.

The House has voted to slap back President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada. The tally offered a rare rebuke of the White House agenda though it wouldn’t actually undo the tariffs without support from Trump himself, which is highly unlikely.

President Trump claims ICE is targeting “the worst of the worst.” In reality, they’re targeting people with no criminal history, separating families, and killing people in the streets.
Less than 14% of nearly 400,000 immigrants arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in President Trump's first year back in the White House had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security document obtained by CBS News.
Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows
The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

Gun Owners of America is lobbying Congress to pass the SAVE Act, which would require a majority of Americans to show a passport to register to vote.
But GOA opposes any law that requires showing a drivers license to buy a gun.

Interesting. Luna and Boebert agree on this after seeing the files.
Republican Rep. Luna: “According to the files we saw, Ghislaine Maxwell was engaged in trafficking and rape of young women. Potentially children. I don’t think she deserves any special treatment. She’s a monster.”
