Nearly one in three federal student loan borrowers are at risk of defaulting on payments as early as July, as delinquency and default rates soar in the wake of pandemic-era repayment relief ending. About 5.8 million federal student loan borrowers were 90 days or more past due on their payments as of April 2025, representing the highest delinquency rate ever recorded. "With over 200 million credit-active consumers in the US, the 5.8 million affected borrowers make up only a small percentage," reported TransUnion. Borrowers fall into default once they are 270 days past due. Nearly two million borrowers could reach default status in July, making them subject to wage garnishment and other collection actions by the US Department of Education. Another one million are expected to default in August, followed by two million more in September. This sharp rise in delinquency comes less than two months after the education department resumed collections on defaulted federal loans. read more
Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump's powerful deputy chief of staff and homeland security advisor, is more than just the architect of the administration's hardline immigration policies: He has a personal financial stake in them. Miller disclosed from $100,001 up to a quarter million dollars of stock in Palantir, a tech company woven into the operations of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and used by other federal agencies such as the Pentagon. read more
Some of the appointments on the exhaustive list include: Rudolph W. Giuliani, Richard "Bo" Dietl (he played the detective who arrested Henry Hill in the 1990 film Goodfellas, SC Governor Henry McMaster (the person Dummkopf Trumpf attempted to telephone but reached retired US Army General H.R. McMaster by mistake a few months ago: "WTF would I want to talk to HR McMaster?"), Corey Lewandowski, and some rightwing media polemicists.
Adam Christopher Sheafe (51) confessed to crucifying William Schonemann (76) at his New River home nearly two months ago. The pastor was found dead in his bed, covered in blood, and had a crown of thorns placed on his head. Before Schonemann's murder, who was known as "Pastor Bill" at New River Bible Chapel, Sheafe planned to kill a priest in Phoenix, the first of 14 planned "executions" around the country. He was about to murder a priest after services on Easter Sunday, 20 April, but the presence of two women dissuaded him. "I'm not interested in executing anyone of than the pastors or the shepherds leading the flock astray." Sheafe was arrested two days after Schonemann was found dead following a manhunt. Had he not been caught, Sheafe said he planned to kill 14 other sky pilots throughout the US. Sheafe says he was following God's law and that he'll be forgiven: "I want the death penalty." read more
The Trump administration is rolling back a landmark conservation rule from the Clinton era that prevents roadbuilding and logging on roughly 58 million acres of federal forest and wildlands. Rescinding the 2001 Roadless Rule comes as the USFS is under orders by Trump to increase logging and thinning in forests to address the wildfire threat. Environmentalists have already indicated they'll sue to prevent its reversal, however. The 2001 Roadless Rule effectively created de facto wilderness protections for scores of forests in the West and Alaska. Republican states and industry groups say Clinton usurped power reserved for Congress in the Wilderness Act. They have tried to overturn it for decades, filing more than a dozen unsuccessful lawsuits against it. Environmentalists counter that wildfires are more likely to occur in forests that have been developed with roads and other infrastructure. Trump is trying to turn over America's precious natural resources to voracious capitalists. read more
Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) at the Hague for allegedly committing war crimes. The charges are as follows:
"Allegedly responsible for the war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare and of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024."
This man is dangerous. Do not approach and call INTERPOL immediately at telephone number 33 4 72 44 70 00 if he is seen or located.
An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

#9: Concur. And besides the Dems losing touch with the average hardworking American, they will need the 6,265,888 antiwar samaritans the Dems lost in 2024 that they had in 2020 if they want to win razor-close national elections in the future. This bloc will grow, and like myself, will not vote for an AIPAC-funded Dem or Rep. Our consciences will be clear: www.washingtonpost.com
Here are Congressman Robert Garcia's financial donors: www.opensecrets.org
No appearance of AIPAC.
How did the dinosaurs let this happen?
Here are "Weird Stephen's" financial public disclosures:
Stephen Miller Disclosure Form // WH Public Disclosures
The bombing campaign of Iran didn't distract astute observers of the Trumpf junta that the Jeffrey Epstein files remain hidden or this public disclosure form was released.
#3: Yup. At some palatial homes, the sound of the bell is a summons to dinner. At the White House, the sound of the bell is cashing in on Wall Street: cf-images.us-east-1.prod.boltdns.net
