More: Based on the research firm's original projections, the U.S. economy was expected to gain $16.3 billion in revenue, according to an analysis by Forbes. Instead, the total deficit may be as high as $28.8 billion.

"This is a wake-up call for the U.S. government," Julia Simpson, president and CEO of WTTC, said in a statement in May. "While other nations are rolling out the welcome mat, the U.S. government is putting up the closed' sign."

The projected decline is driven by an estimated 20 percent drop in Canadian visitors through 2025, who spent $20.5 billion and made up almost a quarter of foreign tourists who came to the U.S. last year.

More: In what experts described as a highly unusual arrangement, the nonprofit routed funds to a personal company of Noem's that had recently been established in Delaware. The payment totaled $80,000 that year, a significant boost to her roughly $130,000 government salary. Since the nonprofit is a so-called dark money group " one that's not required to disclose the names of its donors " the original source of the money remains unknown.

Noem then failed to disclose the $80,000 payment to the public. After President Donald Trump selected Noem to be his secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, she had to release a detailed accounting of her assets and sources of income from 2023 on. She did not include the income from the dark money group on her disclosure form, which experts called a likely violation of federal ethics requirements.

From the article: "This is what Senator Tillis was outlining to his colleagues," he elaborated. "You know, states like West Virginia, $6.2 billion, Missouri $6.1 billion. But then you look at North Carolina and we're looking at almost $40 billion forfeited over the next decade and it's striking to see a comment like this on the flier."

Tillis will get his ass handed to him if NC loses $40 billion. He barely won in 2020 with 48.69% of the vote.

Across the country, armed federal immigration officers have increasingly hidden their identities while carrying out immigration raids, arresting protesters and roughing up prominent Democratic critics.

It's a trend that has sparked alarm among civil rights and law enforcement experts alike.

Mike German, a former FBI agent, said officers' widespread use of masks was unprecedented in US law enforcement and a sign of a rapidly eroding democracy. "Masking symbolizes the drift of law enforcement away from democratic controls," he said.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has insisted masks are necessary to protect officers' privacy, arguing, without providing evidence, that there has been an uptick in violence against agents.

But, German argued, the longterm consequences could be severe. The practice could erode trust in the US law enforcement agencies: "When it's hard to tell who a masked individual is working for, it's hard to accept that that is a legitimate use of authority," he noted.

Isn't it always just something he made up?

He'd have to attend a briefing to be told something.

Cops that break the law should be named and shamed. Accountability is not doxing.

Public servants should never wear masks unless it's specifically to protect their health during a disease outbreak.
