The DI trust fund is solvent until 2098. It's not the disability insurance we have to worry about funding, it's boomers retirement benefits which goes red in 2033. We need to be honest we discuss this stuff.

Old-Age Survivors Insurance (OASI) & Disability Insurance (DI) are two different trust funds. The DI trust fund is solvent. "Considered on its own, the OASI Trust Fund can pay full benefits until 2033. The DI Trust Fund is projected to pay full benefits through the end of the 75-year proj period."

Yes and the law allows the president to determine, so Trump can revoke the Biden's administration's determination on TikTok on Day one, thus only a one day technical execution of the law

What happens if Biden still goes through with the ban, I mean they would be in violation of the law from 12am 1/19/25 to at least 3pm 1/20/25 after the inauguration & sign an actual executive order. Would not Google, Apple & ISPs still be required to stop service for those 24 hours

Depressing but unfortunately elections have consequences
President Biden revived the US refugee program, โ€œlong a pillar of American foreign policy,โ€ after massive cuts under the first Trump admin.

โ€œNow, with Mr. Trump vowing to crack down on immigration again, refugee resettlement agencies are bracing to be gutted.โ€ Again. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/22/u...
Refugees Are Bracing for Trump to Cut the Resettlement Program Again
As Donald J. Trump returns to office, the rebuilt program is under threat. Many vulnerable people approved for resettlement in the U.S. could be stranded abroad.

It's something at least. Driving messages works and Democrats should do it more often.

Itโ€™s not going to show up in an article or coverage tomorrow, but the open murder of a CEO was cheered by a ton of people and turned into a meme.

Like, I really donโ€™t think people have fully wrapped their heads around how quickly shit is changing and what the overarching sentiment is becoming.

Office of the Speaker has said all military has left the National Assembly building. MBC confirms all military personnel and equipment have left the back plaza behind the National Assembly main building.

If I'm seeing correctly, looks like the military is leaving the National Assembly and all major broadcasting stations continue to broadcast the events without interference. Might have to add botched martial law to the list of Yoon's incompetencies.

"China is at risk of losing nearly 24% of its GDP in a severe scenario compared to forecast losses of 10% for the US, Canada and the UK and 11% for Europe." www.weforum.org/stories/2021...
This is how climate change could impact the global economy
The impact of climate change can be more severe than thought. It is said that rising temperatures could wipe up to 18% off global GDP by 2050, a report from the Swiss Re Institute warns.

Honestly, I think Thomas PM Barnett in 2015 lays out the positives for the US & Canada due to climate change which could outweigh damages. We are close to neutral on most indexes I've seen

Jimmy Carter pardoned his brother Billy Carter who took over $200,000 from Libya as its foreign agent.

George H.W. Bush pardoned his son Neil Bush for his role in the S&L scandals of the 1980s.

Nobody thinks those pardons defined either presidency.

Joe Biden's pardon of Hunter Biden won't either.
