"If a bolt of lightning hits you when you're standing in the middle of a field, that feels like a random event. But if your business is to stand in random fields during lightning storms, then you should anticipate, perhaps a little more robustly, the risks you're taking on." - Peter Fisher, US Treasury, discussing the collaps of LTCM in 1998

The absurdity of this misrepresentation of the impact of changes to federal loans by @newrepublic is matched equally by morans like this guy piling on with their disgust, having clearly not even read the article, much less have any understanding of the changes.

This is fake news at its finest.
First off, we’re not ‘banning’ any program. The federal government doesn’t set curriculum or programs.
Here’s the truth: we are holding colleges accountable for leaving students worse off than if they never enrolled. Too many graduates report delaying major life milestones like buying a home or starting a family. Why? Because low return-on-investment programs saddled them with unmanageable debt that was never going to translate into a real-world job.
Federal student loans are not a welfare program for failing college programs. American students deserve education and training pathways that prepare them for the workforce – and transparency about programs that will never pay off.
Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/NmmAzhf
Why do our elected officials continue to lie like this
ICE killed another man. His name is Mario David Coronado Juarez.
Mario lived and worked in Michigan for 7 years as a construction worker, sending money home to his kids in Guatemala.
ICE pursued him in an unmarked car, causing a fatal car crash.
These killings have to stop. #AbolishICE.
So basically every politician and media outlet that chose to weigh in on Wilbur Perez’s arrest was completely wrong.
BREAKING: DHS releases a bullet-point list of what they say are false claims about the shooting of a Venezuelan illegal alien in Austin, TX. They say claims that he was legal and had a valid work permit are false.
Per DHS:
“CLAIM: ICE refused to remove the bullet from the illegal alien’s body.
FACT: This is false. ICE does not and would not advise, nor be the authority on, a medical procedure for an illegal alien at a hospital.
CLAIM: The illegal alien had a valid work permit.
FACT: This is false. The illegal alien’s work permit expired in 2025. Furthermore, a work permit does NOT grant legal status.
CLAIM: The illegal alien was ordered removed in absentia.
FACT: Yes. This is why aliens must show up to their removal proceedings. Legal obligations do not end because someone’s address changed.
CLAIM: This illegal alien is here legally.
FACT: This is false. This person is in the U.S. illegally. He entered illegally under the Biden Administration. The illegal alien had no valid work permit, had no protective status, and had a final order of removal from a Department of Justice (DOJ) Immigration Judge.
CLAIM: This illegal alien has received no pain medication.
FACT: This is false. This illegal alien is receiving medical care around the clock, including pain medication.
CLAIM: The illegal alien has been forced to sleep on the floor.
FACT: This is false. This alien was released from the hospital and arrived at the detention facility just a few hours later, where he slept on a bed. Aliens in ICE custody receive a higher standard of living than most prisons that hold U.S. citizens.
CLAIM: This illegal alien was indiscriminately targeted by ICE.
FACT: This is false. This illegal alien was the subject of a targeted vehicle stop. What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is whether or not they are illegally in the U.S.
DHS Sec. Mullin statement:
“Sanctuary politicians and the mainstream media have wasted no time in spreading lies about an ICE officer-involved shooting of an illegal alien in Austin, Texas,” said Secretary Markwayne Mullin. “Contrary to their claims, this person is an illegal alien who has no legal status to be here and has been given some of the best medical care he’s ever received in his life. No amount of smears and false narratives will slow down ICE from doing its job by removing dangerous illegal aliens from our communities and making America safe again. Sanctuary politicians may continue to shamelessly protect illegal aliens, but the Trump Administration will remain focused on protecting the American people.”
Been at this a while, and if you want to actually learn how to trade, not just chase call outs, @chadchristian at americandreamtrading.com/ is the only game in town. And no I don't get paid for referrals, just trying to help people change their lives ever since this changed mine

As summer comes into view, always remember that more Europeans regularly die in heat waves than Americans die in guns violence.
Reminder for NYC and all US tax payers. We don’t have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem. If you don’t believe me, try googling it.
Jeff Bezos on NYC spending:
"If we ran Amazon the way New York City runs their school system, packages would take 6 weeks to arrive, we would charge you a $100 delivery fee and when the package did finally arrive, it would have the wrong item in it."
My heart goes out the Guthrie family. That said, the nations obsession with this story is unhealthy. @FoxBusiness why the wall to wall coverage? Fox “Business”!
“America isn’t perfect, we have problems, as all countries do, and maybe ours are worse. There are a lot of things happening that sadden me and that I disagree with. And also I still love my country and I’m honored and grateful to be representing the USA.” Olympic athletes, is that so hard to say?
For those interested. Here’s Bovino wearing his “nazi coat” in 2022, alongside a colleague wearing the same standard-issue coat that’s been in use since 1930
$DIS going from $208b to $204b marketcap is pretty meaningless. Their stock dropped to where it was a few weeks ago and will likely make it all back. The president and FCC shouldnt have said what they said. Also, Kimmel was getting paid $16m to get 130k viewers per show. My kids get more views on TikTok. This is 10% "govt censorship" and 90% opportunistic termination of a dying show. I agree it's not a bad move by our govt but don't be rage-baited into thinking this is some big attack on free speech or that Disney is suffering any consequences.

I keep seeing people say an empty Las Vegas is a harbinger of a US recession
No, an empty Las Vegas is a harbinger of Las Vegas and casinos being a dying Boomer phenomenon
Flashy, loud, tacky, crowded, and inauthentic—younger generations don’t want it

Reaction to Stephen Colbert getting fired by CBS. It takes a special type of arrogance to be making 16 million, losing 40 million and publicly bash the people paying your bills.
Just remember that the “fact checkers” weren’t checking facts. They were suppressing truthful information at the secret request of government agencies.
