    Republicunts love bitching about the debt when Dems are in office. Then, when one of their cult members get in, crickets. This should be front page on all news media, but I caught it on a page that was showing other more sexy news.

      This might be Republicans “way out” to save face with their base. It looks more and more like Trump is going to take to fall.

    but the pandemic just ended. So wouldn’t this imply that debt accumulation is slowing down?

      Looks like it was a Billion per year after the 2023 end of pandemic, so seems steady debt accumulation

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don’t end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
