What kind of shitty country would deny student loan forgiveness but give January 6th rioters forgiveness and pay them $1.8 billion?

Trump is now reportedly responsible for roughly 27.7% of the entire U.S. national debt accumulated under all presidents combined. That is an astonishing figure historically. The national debt just crossed $39 trillion. President Trump has added roughly $12–13 trillion to the debt across his two terms in office. That’s approximately 30% of ALL U.S. national debt accumulated since 1789. In 2016, Trump said he would pay down the national debt “over a period of eight years.” Instead: - First term: +$7.8 trillion - Second term: roughly +$4–5 trillion already And yes, COVID affected first-term spending. It does not explain adding another trillion dollars every five months without a pandemic. A political movement built on: “fiscal conservatism” “small government” “balanced budgets” has now overseen the largest debt expansion tied to any single presidency in American history.

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it. This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect. "Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. 'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth." - Tony Locke

Absolute bombshell. 60 Minutes exposes a massive insider trading ring making millions by betting on highly classified US military operations in Iran with a 98 percent win rate. Washington insiders are literally using secret Pentagon intelligence to rig prediction markets!

Erin Brockovich has launched a website and has begun tracking all data centers in America and logging resident complaints In just 1 week it’s already logged 1,690 resident complaints For this who don’t remember Erin Brockovich was the paralegal responsible for winning out a case against PG&E, Hinckley in California, because their wastewater runoff was seeping into rural areas and creating a lot of health issues for, for the surrounding neighborhoods That case brought in a $333 million settlement that went to the families affected by the situation because a lot of them either had staggering medical bills due to their tap water was no longer safe So why is this important, well residents all over America are reporting their tap water and river water is being heavily polluted by data centers Her map of data centers is new, she just launched it The website features an interactive US map showing operational, under-construction, and proposed AI data centers, overlaid with community-reported complaints Residents can submit reports with details, photos, and locations. Within days of launch, it received a surge of submissions over 1,600 in the first week, and reports of 1,800+ from 47 states shortly after Common Resident Complaints Being Logged - Water usage - Raising utility bills for residents - Noise pollution: Constant 24/7 humming from fans, generators, and cooling systems disrupting sleep, daily life, and wildlife. - E-waste from frequent hardware upgrades, pollution including PFAS concerns

The Office of Government Ethics has been operating without a permanent director for more than a year after Trump fired the previous head of the office — effectively kneecapping the agency. No wonder there's been an explosion of corruption within the administration.

The people Donald Trump wants to give $1.776 billion of your taxpayer dollars as “compensation” for the “weaponization” of justice they’ve suffered.

Narrator: It was not a mistake. Just like cutting off food and AIDS drugs to Africa was deliberate. He is adding to his kill count. He is a eugenicist, genocidal Nazi. He wants to kill as many Black and brown people as he can. We must stop pretending otherwise.

People see this happening daily.

@Trinaartist10 @Pontifex @NetworksManager Just stop with the racism.

@Pontifex @NetworksManager You started out so well with your statement but then ended with pushing more foreigners on people. Just stop. We are tired of the crime, raping and pillaging that is being forced upon us. We don’t have a walled city like some people.

Let us learn to be rich in a different way: more attentive to relationships, more intent on valuing the common good, more attached to the local area, more grateful in welcoming and integrating those who come to live with us.

Over a million acres of pristine wilderness lakes in Minnesota. The most visited canoe country in America. Generations of families have paddled it, fished it, camped it. The Senate just sold it out outright. They called it "America First." Then handed it to a Chilean billionaire — so his company can ship the copper to China. The Senate voted 50-49 to gut 20 years of Boundary Waters mining protections. Here's the deal they made. A Chilean billionaire's company digs the mine. America can't smelt the copper — we don't have the capacity. So the ore ships to China. China processes it. Sells it on the world market. Chile keeps the profits. Minnesotans don't even get the jobs. Minnesota keeps the pollution. And Americans get to buy it back from China at full market price. This same company has a documented history at their Chilean mines: pipeline spills, regulatory fines, and locals fighting back for years. They paid a former Trump Interior Secretary $380K. The protection died by one vote. Here's exactly how it happened — and who made it happen. Who do YOU think this mine actually serves? #DemsUnited

So now this asshole wants to remove the cherry trees that line the Potomac! They were a gift from Japan as a gesture of goodwill and friendship in 1912. I hate him so much.

@uaivito The phone. And to plan something you had to make multiple calls.

Pessoas que eram adolescentes antes das redes sociais existirem... como vocês se comunicavam com os amigos??

@animatorJD @TheBigBroTea I’m not saying she played other people but she managed to move the target to someone else. It reminds of Taylor on Big Brother if you watched that. She was on almost every chopping block of the season & won. Period love that shit when they pull it off.

@thattweetyoudo @TheBigBroTea She did nothing special except win the last challenge. OZ vote was out there 2 episodes prior and all she did was relay information. His mistake, agreed. It was the only thing she could do, not a mastermind move. She stayed bc others were bigger threats, not bc she played them.

Joe says when he sat down at final tribal council he immediately knew who didn’t like him and said he didn’t even need to be there for it and to him it more like a sentencing than debating a jury. I don’t actually think anyone on the jury disliked Joe. I think they just thought Joe is terrible at playing Survivor and Joe doesn’t want to admit he is bad at Survivor #survivor50

@animatorJD @TheBigBroTea I was not a fan of her for entire season. It was literally the end when I realized what an underdog she was. I even wanted her out but she managed cast/game & was last 3 standing after putting herself in position to decide the other’s fate. There is some luck in everyone’s game.

@thattweetyoudo @TheBigBroTea It’s cool to say, “I’m an Aubry fan” or “I’m happy she won”. Fine. But she didn’t play a great game. She was very fortunate, in fact. That’s all I’m saying.

@mattinfwNFL @KylieSexy584603 @TheBigBroTea I disagree. She was underdog on the block multiple times & convinced cast to keeper her each time. That’s a skill. She won most important challenge of the season. Of course her strategy beat everyone else bc she won the 2m. This is quite basic. I was not rooting for her until end

@thattweetyoudo @KylieSexy584603 @TheBigBroTea Aubrey’s strategy did not beat everyone else. She caught a lot of lucky breaks. The final 3 was a dud this year

@animatorJD @TheBigBroTea It saved her. She would have been out for certain. Ozzy’s huge mistake but she used it to her advantage. She was on the block multiple times & always managed to stay, convincing cast to keep her. Won most important challenge of the season. Underdog story which garners votes.

@thattweetyoudo @TheBigBroTea Aubry was sloppy the whole game. Everyone loves her story arc, playing so many times, etc. she literally skirted to the end because she was a lesser threat. She won the final challenge and that’s it. Told on OZ, that’s not a move.

@simonateba There ‘s probably 100 more valid reasons, but yes.

Be brutally honest: Do you agree with the left that President Trump should immediately resign over this video he shared, dumping Stephen Colbert into the dustbin of history? Yes or no?

@otokyo A cancer dx

Whats missing from this breakfast? 🍳

@KylieSexy584603 @TheBigBroTea lol. Everyone but the one winner gets outplayed either by game strategy or jury management . Aubry’s game strategy beat everyone else’s. Joe was there bc everyone could win next to him at F3. Ridiculous question.

@thattweetyoudo @TheBigBroTea If they were outplayed how come they were at final 3?
