The White House Council of Economic Advisers claims illegal immigrants cost taxpayers $166,716 each. Cato's David J. Bier says those estimates aren't credible. They have actually reduced federal, state, and local deficits by $1.7 trillion over 30 years. https://ow.ly/ZPrG510160q
Arabs literally invented science and math, have created immense amounts of literature, and in fact have won each of the prizes mentioned multiple times, but do go off, RFK. Fucking morons.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

What employers really want out of employees isn’t what most of them think it is, which is why most businesses fail. And then they blame the education system. Except they’re blaming it for the wrong thing. I try to explain: tinyurl.com/2wr2bm5c #jobs #teaching #employment #thinking #advertising

NEW: “In Texas, we fight fraud head-on,” Ken Paxton said last year. Yet records show his trust gave $600K to a convicted fraudster’s new company in 2020, which later wired the trust tens of thousands of dollars before and during his 2023 impeachment. with @texastribune.org

Protects the guy that raped her own daughter AND kills kittens? I mean, yeah. Totally tracks.
🚨 NEW: The mother featured in Vivek Ramaswamy’s $4 MILLION attack ad against Amy Acton was found “not credible” by a court in an animal neglect case involving newborn kittens left in a 120°F car. Two kittens died. The disturbing details Ramaswamy’s ad leaves out:
If Biden did this, the press...yeah whatever I am so tired why do we even bother. Please for the love of God kick this fucking awful meatbag to the curb in two weeks.
Trump forgets to salute while exiting Marine One then lumbers across the tarmac to his Qatari bribe jet. Natalie Harp is the first one up the stairs to join him on the plane.
"Sheesh. Why do black people keep complaining about racism? The Civil War ended a century ago. It's not like it happens anymore. They should just move on." THIS. IS. WHY.
WTH #NC it’s almost 2027 and shit like this still goes on! Must be Trump lovers. FFS 6 officers arrested due to seeing who could arrest the most black people! WTH 🤬 Stop the madness #Blues
They keep saying "it's not all cops" but every day there are more and more stories like this. Seems like the math may be catching up, no?
Five North Carolina police officers resign and a sixth is suspended after an internal investigation uncovers deeply troubling text messages. The communications, discovered during a review of the department's camera system, prompt the police chief to request a federal civil rights investigation.

Oh look. It's that Socialism that they warned us about and farmers are gling to line up for it, while simultaneously bitching about it. Handouts are cool, I guess, so long as you are the one getting them and no one else is.
Trump: "I'm pleased to announce that the Department of Agriculture will be launching a new harvest fuel relief program providing our farmers with $8 billion in support to offset diesel costs during this harvest season. And Roger Marshall is the leader who fought for that to happen."

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

The cruelty is the point. Doing this on Indigenous People's day is NO coincidence. It is yet another priviegled Epstein class "fuck you" to everyone who isn't a white Christian Nationalist.
NEW: Tohono O'odham Nation leadership issued a release announcing that they’ve filed an emergency injunction after been informed by CBP that “it intends to remove thousands of Saguaros and other vegetation,” on sovereign tribal lands. The destruction is set to begin on Indigenous Peoples Day.

A child in an Idaho faith-healing family died of a treatable condition. Then another died — and another, and another. Idaho’s child abuse laws contain such broad religious exemptions that authorities didn’t intervene — before or after the deaths.
