'“Look, there’s nothing magic about that $40tn number,” the US Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, told CNBC insouciantly last week, as the country’s debt mountain surpassed another bleak record.'
What is debt anyway when you're GOP? What are numbers even, or whatever was said yesterday?
cuz, as JJ Cale sang, 'If tomorrow never comes, everything is free...'

"Christian privilege was manifested in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, Huffman argues, when many fellow members of Congress did not even seem to notice the religious elements of the group trying to kill them. It was evident again, he asserts, in one of the most consequential political cover-ups in recent history: the deliberate erasure of Christian nationalism from the final report of the House January 6 select committee."

@Judeau it's sad! I had hoped that #FuckTrump had done enough bad to change people, that #NoKings was big enough here to change people. To wake up and read all the results ruined my day! I'll be raging about this shit ALL day. #NotMyPresident #USPol

This is the question Democrats should ask voters in order to win this November
They should ask the question Reagan asked at the end of his debate against Jimmy Carter: ‘Are you better off now than you were before this presidency?’
Robert Reichhttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/aug/26/democrats-voters-november-elections
August 26, 2026The midterm #elections are already upon us, and every #Democrat and Independent running against a #Republican should ask voters the question Ronald Reagan asked on 28 October 1980, at the end of his televised debate against Jimmy Carter: “Are you better off now than you were before this presidency?”
Unless you’re very, very rich, the answer is obviously: “No, I’m worse off.”
Start with his #tariffs, which are costing every American household an average of $1,100 annually, according to the Yale Budget Lab. (If you don’t trust Yale, the conservative Tax Foundation estimated last year’s tab to be $1,000 per household.)

Re: Darline Graham, Lindsey's sister and South Carolina voters' know-nothing Senate #GOP nominee...
Never forget that South Carolina was the first of the treasonous Confederacy to secede from the Union. The collective IQ of that state has been low for a long time... and it has lacked a moral compass for just as long.

My bond portfolio does not seem to like what he’s doing. When POTUS, who directs the Treasury secretary, has had as many bankruptcies as I have kids, hearing them wanting to intervene makes me nervous. #uspol
