Britain spends £330 billion a year on welfare, more than it collects in income taxes. Spending keeps climbing, millions more depend on government support, and politicians know that changes will alienate their voters. The country will reach a tipping point.

And no one is connecting the new measles cases to the flood of people across the border during the Biden years? Because of the incubation period? Or is there some other reason?
The U.S. achieved measles elimination status in 2000 after robust immunization campaigns and making the shots free for millions of children.
Now, we have lost that status.
To regain elimination status, the U.S. must stop the continuing spread of measles for at least 12 months.

The "greens" do not care about the weather.
The want control.
Pointing out that their demands are expensive and for no measurable benefit....doesn't move them.
They don't care.
They don't want to solve "the problem" with nuclear power. That would not give them power over others.
Scarcity does.

With Shapiro and Ossoff clear favorites, Democratic presidential 2028 hopes appear to hang on a “Jews-or-lose” proposition.
Our full @Project270HQ results of general election battleground voters. Every Dem considering running for President is ahead (or at least tied) against @JDVance, and yes, even @marcorubio.

Democrats promise affordability while pushing green energy mandates and trying to strangle the fossil fuel industry.
When has restricting affordable, reliable energy ever made your electric bill cheaper?

Americans keep firing the party in power over high prices, but the spending survives every election.
Look at where the money goes -- SS, Medicare, Medicaid and interest took 61 cents of every federal dollar in 2026.
Foreign aid and diplomacy took less than a penny, and that's the line everybody wants to cut first.
Washington collected $5.4T, spent $7.4T, and borrowed the rest.
SS and Medicare are welfare for the old and Medicaid is welfare for the poor. Cut them, and the people collecting remember at the next election, because they vote every time.
The people paying are young or haven't been born yet, so Washington borrows and hands them the bill. They're the same generation getting priced out of its first home.
And the borrowing feeds itself. Interest passed $1T this year, and more debt means more interest. The debt also competes for the savings that would build factories and start businesses, the growth behind the paychecks Washington taxes.
Less growth means less revenue and more borrowing.
The Fed has already bought trillions of Washington's debt with money it created. A dollar from 2020 buys about 76 cents' worth today. It's the one tax everybody feels and nobody can trace back to a vote.
The spending never makes the ballot, so voters keep changing who's in charge of the same fiscal doom loop.

In case anyone has lost count, Trump already kicked 5 million people off SNAP.
His new proposal would cut another 6 million and take free school lunches away from 2 million kids.
There’s always money when billionaires want another tax break.
But never enough for hungry kids.

We don't have a problem @ChuckTodd. The system worked the way it was supposed to in every election except Hayes vs. Tilden (maybe). It's the people who say the system subverts the will of the people who are the problem. – at Lansdowne, VA
We can solve the Electoral College problem by uncapping the House. No Constitutional Amendment needed. Right size the House (should be about 800 members) and we won’t have a popular vote/EC split maybe ever. Oh, and the House will actually be “the people’s House” again.

🚨 NetChoice Sues New York: The Government Cannot Force Websites to Speak for the State
NEW YORK—NetChoice sued New York today to stop the state from forcing services to act as its mouthpieces. SB S4505 will force websites to put up state-scripted "warning" messages discouraging New Yorkers from using online services and promoting the government's controversial views on social media.
“The First Amendment forbids New York from forcing private speakers to serve as government mouthpieces, and that includes compelled state-scripted warnings on speech,” said @Paul_Taske, Director of the NetChoice Litigation Center. “New York has every right to share its views on social media, but it has no right to make private websites say it for them. As we told California last month, the First Amendment is not a suggestion. A federal court has already struck down Colorado’s nearly identical law, and New York’s unconstitutional mandate should meet the same fate.”
WHY NEW YORKERS SHOULD CARE:
1. Users will have to sit through state-mandated warnings every time they access social media. After the first warning upon initial access, they will have to sit through labels shown for up to 30 seconds, covering 75% of the screen that they cannot skip, every hour after three hours online, no matter how many times they've seen them.
2. An unconstitutional law protects no one, and in this case, it actively undermines the public's access to diverse perspectives and information.
3. New York is exploiting legitimate concerns about mental health to justify its attacks on speech services.
4. States cannot do by "warning label" what they are unable to do by outright ban. A federal court already blocked Colorado's nearly identical law on First Amendment grounds, and New York's should fall too.
5. California doesn't trust adults to make their own choices, or parents to make decisions for their own families. Unless a site has verified a user is over 17, everyone gets the warning.
So glad @KristiNoem is not in charge right now.
