UNSUSTAINABLE: U.S. deficit projected to hit $2 trillion, double fiscal target.
Will McBride, the Tax Foundation’s chief economist, said the numbers show Congress isn’t taking action to address financial warnings about the U.S. debt.
“It indicates Congress and the administration are still ignoring the dangers of an unsustainable debt trajectory and actively making it worse rather than addressing it,” McBride told The Center Square. “The effect is to make a crisis more likely to happen sooner rather than later.”
The projections come from Treasury’s quarterly refunding presentation to the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee, a panel of bond market participants that advises the department on debt management, making them among the most closely watched fiscal disclosures in financial markets.
Milei showed the way, and it involves a chainsaw, not vague promises.

“THE RNC PLAYED IT SMART.” NOT A PHRASE YOU HEAR OFTEN! #CHANGE.
Got to say the RNC played it smart. Democrats were flooding money into Virginia and all of us were bitching that the national GOP weren’t even trying to keep up. But RNC lawyers KNEW the process was unconstitutional and would be killed by the courts, so they saved their money. https://t.co/0nhSqK1Lpy

OH, TO BE IN ENGLAND: Let this be the final nail in Labour’s coffin.
A bloodbath. A wipeout. A rout. Call it what you want, there is no understating the catastrophe that has befallen the Labour Party in yesterday’s local elections. These results are not just a bruising defeat for an unpopular incumbent – they signal the beginning of the end for the so-called people’s party.
On the seats declared so far, Labour is having the worst results for a governing party since the Tories in 1995, before they were cast out of power for a generation. Labour’s vote share has plummeted by an astonishing 19 points since its General Election win in 2024. As results continue to come in, Keir Starmer’s party is losing half of the seats it’s defending. Not quite the worst-ever rate of loss for a governing party. That dishonour belongs to, er, Keir Starmer’s Labour Party in May 2025.
The London Times adds: Plan your resignation to avert Labour strife, Keir Starmer urged.
Hindsight is 20/20, but clearly there was far more that Starmer could have done to prevent this bloodbath/wipeout/rout:
I think the big takeaway from the UK elections is that Kier Starmer just didn’t arrest enough people for mean Facebook posts

Play the game as hard as Dems do, and you win.
A TRILLION HERE AND A TRILLION THERE…:
Blue states have bled $2 trillion in wealth to red states in the last decade — and New York leads the pack.New York had the biggest fall in cumulative adjusted gross income (AGI) — losing $660 billion between 2012 and 2023.
California came next with $503 billion in the same time period.
In contrast, Florida gained $1.3 trillion, and Texas gained $371 billion between 2012 and 2023.
It comes as billionaire bigwigs are beginning their Big Apple exodus as a result of Mayor Mamdani’s wealth-bashing agenda.
Hedge fund titan Ken Griffin and Marc Rowan both announced recently that they will move jobs out of New York in response to Mamdani’s calls to “tax the rich.”
Gooder and harder.

WE’RE DOOMED, RIGHT? Rat-borne virus outbreak not the start of new pandemic, says WHO.
The outbreak of a rat-borne virus on a cruise ship is not the start of a new global pandemic, health officials have said.
A global hunt is underway to trace 29 passengers of 12 nationalities who left MV Hondius last month before it continued its journey to Cape Verde.
Their departure came before the first case of hantavirus was confirmed and isolation measures were introduced, sparking fears they could have spread the deadly disease around the globe.
Among the passengers who disembarked were seven British nationals, two of whom are currently self-isolating at home and do not have symptoms.
Four more are being “monitored” on St Helena, sources told The Telegraph, while officials are trying to track down the seventh, who is likely a dual national.
However, the World Health Organisation played down fears of a wider outbreak.
“This is not the start of an epidemic. This is not the start of a pandemic,” said Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO’s epidemic and pandemic preparedness and prevention director. “This is not Covid.”
Still though, why take chances?
World Health Organization: "There is no need to worry about the threat of hantavirus. There are only a few cases. It's under control."
