I'm still SHOCKED by the obscene rise in billionaire election spending since Citizens United in the NYT piece, despite already knowing that election corruption w/ $ was profound. (Recall that BCRA fought dangerous campaign $ in *2002*)
The article data didn't have a graph, so I made one to show it.

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.
The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

Heads are going to explode 💥
Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.
All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

If #Broncos' Sean Payton is going to continue to live by the sword and die by the sword, then he needs a bigger sword because there are no indications he will give up play-calling following the firing of OC Joe Lombardi: www.denverpost.com/2026/01/27/b...

Renck: If Broncos’ Sean Payton is going to continue to live by the sword, he needs a bigger one
Just kick. And you kick the Patriots’ butt. Not Payton’s style. He will always be more Tin Cup’s Kevin Costner than the PGA’s Scottie Scheffler.

This is a Strong Statement of the Maga, the Farmers, the Evangelical community, the Trump Voter who lack critical thinking. America 🇺🇸 under Republicans is in Decline. The Rich get Richer, while Americans suffer from the uneducated. 😡🇺🇸😎

Corn tortilla. Broccoli. Chicken. And one other thing. Maybe a carrot! Maybe a bit of cheese! We assumed that it had to be food. That was our mistake, I think. Assuming that the One Other Thing had to be food.
The ‘One Other Thing’ That Comes With Every Trump-Era Dinner
The Agriculture secretary suggests one corn tortilla, one piece of broccoli, one piece of chicken, and one inscrutable last thing.

Watch this video. As a short film it's got the heart attack urgency of DOG DAY AFTERNOON. But as a record of this awful moment, it captures so much: the absurdity, cruelty and horror -- but also the compassion and humanity, and the essential brave resistance I can only hope will see us through this.
