The study shows that immigrants SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED the national debt because they work more often, resulting in higher than expected wages and they have access to far fewer social services than citizens. As a result, they have paid a large amount of taxes.

Immigrants’ Recent Effects on Government Budgets: 1994–2023
Our analysis in this paper shows that immigrants generated a fiscal surplus of about $14.5 trillion from 1994 to 2023, that the average immigrant is much less costly than the average US-born American,...

Researcher 1: I discovered a fully intact Mastodon skeleton.

At the SkyClub and someone is having a full-on meeting with his doctor out loud on the phone. What is it with older folks that they can’t use headphones?

I know, I know. Much worse to worry about in the world.

JD Vance continually going to Greenland only to get repeatedly brushed off by the Greenland PM smacks of the "drunk guy at the bar who keeps hitting on the same woman and she keeps saying 'fuck off'" vibe.

No means no, you couchfucking piece of shit.

In the early 1990s, I made silver jewelry. Not great stuff, but good enough for the time and mostly beadwork. Silver was about $4-5 per ounce.

This December, it hit $83/ounce. Basically, silver has gone up about $2.25 an ounce per year.

We don't talk about this enough. We talk about the money in collegiate and professional sports, but there's ridiculous money being spent and handed out starting with Little League and Pop Warner ball.
Lindsey Rector knows her son loves baseball. She’s less certain she can afford it.

“You’re just trying to do everything you can to make these dreams come true for your child,” Rector said. “But it’s just so money-driven.”
The soaring price of youth sports: $50 to try out, $3,000 to play
Parents are struggling to keep up as costs and luxury options rise. Investors see an opportunity.

You can say a lot about Hank - I covered him when he was a DeKalb County Commissioner, so we go back - but he's always been on the right side of things. He promoted working in Uganda to save lives from the LRA. He worked with us on human trafficking issues. And he's spot on about Trump.

I said this to MAGA during Trump 1 - Secret Service have always stayed in hotels while protecting the president, but never before has the president a) owned the hotels and b) require taxpayers foot the bill for the full rack rate. They should stay for free.
If Republicans REALLY cared about fraud, they’d start with the billions being funneled to donors, billionaires, and Trump’s businesses—instead of using hearings to distract us while they rip healthcare from working families.

We need more mayors like this. If you recall, the last agent who shot someone was ALSO found to have done so illegally, and he bragged for days on how grievously he perforated a woman. ICE agents are Nazi thugs, pure and simple, and every one of them should be in jail.
Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

I often blame Trump, but we all know that this is the worst human on the planet and nothing would be better than seeing him shot into space without a suit.
Eyes wide open, folks. They're revealing the supervillain plot.

Europe: Trump is a bully, plain and simple. You need to hit him right in the fucking face. Tell him all trade, everything, stops until he starts acting like a fucking human again. Kick the US military out of Greenland. Kick out our ambassadors. Sanction us. Make him stand alone.

I am fully on board with this plan.

A small ball of good news for a change.
Since congestion pricing began one year ago, about 11% of the vehicles that once entered Manhattan’s central business district daily have disappeared. This may not seem like a lot, but it has changed the lives of many. Here’s how. trib.al/xSygqCm

You will never convince me that Trump picked Kennedy to be anything other than a distraction from all the crazy shit Trump and Miller had planned.

I think if a Pope's liberalism can sway your faith, you have much bigger issues with your faith than who the earthly head of your church is. I would also encourage these folks to re-read their fucking Bible and realize that peace and love are core tenets of ALL Christian religions.

This was likely the first time a black man with a gun squared up against them and they didn't end up lynching him.

Why can't this horrible bitch just get run over by a tractor? She's leaving Congress so she can't be held accountable for this and her last hurrah is to fuck the American people, specifically rural people.

I wish I could comment on this because a) Really good photography b) Her hair is amazing and c) I would love to see the rest of the photos because I just can't love this enough
I get really emotional around the wintertime because my husband and I got married in the snow and all I do is think about how much I love him and how lucky I am
