U.S. loses AAA credit rating due to rising debt, interest costs: Moody’s

For the first time in modern US history, Moody’s has downgraded the United States credit rating from Aaa to Aa1. A direct consequence of economic mismanagement & tariff terrorism by Trump and the GOP, which will lead to higher interest rates on mortgages, credit cards, car loans, and student loans.

Moody’s downgraded the credit rating of the US for the first time since 1917, stripping the country of its last perfect credit rating. The move could rattle financial markets and push up interest rates, creating an extra financial burden for Americans already struggling with tariffs and inflation.

For at least half a century, the National Weather Service has been an around-the-clock operation. But due to DOGE cuts, that is no longer possible in some parts of the country.

America is infinitely less safe. Tens of millions of lives are being endangered by Trump and DOGE.

Senate Democrats want investigation into whether Trump administration helping Musk make Starlink deals Democratic senators are calling for an investigation into whether the Trump administration is clearing hurdles for Starlink, led by Elon Musk, to strike foreign deals.

Musk's Starlink was having a hard time getting permits abroad.

Then Trump slapped tariffs on basically everything we buy from overseas—and suddenly countries negotiating trade deals started giving Starlink sweet deals!

Looks like textbook corruption—and we're all paying for it.

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one.

All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

I only need 5 minutes to complete my financial disclosures every year cause I own zero stocks. The same should be true for all members of Congress. We must ban Congressional stock trading.

Yes, Matt, the explanation for the existence of a male Mozart and the absence of a female Mozart is “sexism isn’t real”. Your argument is completely ironclad and without holes that a grade schooler could explain.

We heard the death rattle of truth in the first Trump administration

When Alexander Vindman was viciously attacked for offering honest testimony during his first impeachment

So the fact that his flunkies are now firing anyone who doesn’t regurgitate Trump propaganda shouldn’t surprise anyone

The corruption is so out of control

Rule of law is ‘endangered,’ chief justice says Speaking at Georgetown Law, Chief Justice John Roberts denounced “ad hominem” criticism of the justices.

It's almost as if granting a criminal blanket immunity was a bad idea.

The Republicans tax bill is here.

It does NOT ban taxing tips.
It does NOT ban taxing overtime.
It does NOT ban taxing Social Security.

Why Qatar is bribing Trump On Sunday, President Trump announced that the government of Qatar would be giving the "Defense Department" a luxury 747 aircraft to replace Air Force One.

Qatar wants:
- U.S. weapons
- Military protection
- U.S. foreign policy influence in the Middle East
- Favorable trade terms and investment opportunities

Trump wants:
- bribes

So Qatar gave him a $400 million plane and a $5.5 billion golf course deal.

This isn’t complicated.

Trump Is “Unrestrained” in Use of Presidency for Pursuit of Personal Wealth “These are conflicts on a scale that we’ve never seen before in American history,” says NYT reporter Eric Lipton.

Top buyers of Trump’s novelty cryptocurrency have spent millions to have dinner with the president. Trump’s sons have also signed a number of deals around the world, trading on the family’s name and influence, and son-in-law Jared Kushner has taken in billions in investment from Gulf states.

NYT: “.. The United States is the only country .. that is forecast to see an international visitor decline in 2025.”
