There is no doubt that republicans have some really, really, really stupid people representing them , John Kennedy is one of them , David Bier obliterated his argument about mass deportation of this administration not being “ ethnic cleansing “ […]

Never in a million years, did I think that I would be on my feet, cheering on a lawyer from the #CATOInstitute about immigration enforcement, but here we are...

Pay attention to the under oath testimony of #DavidBier... r👇👇👇

Tariff Refund Delays Could Cost Taxpayers $700 Million a Month We calculate that $700 million in interest is added to the final bill every month that the government delays tariff refunds, or around $23 million per day.

The #Trump #Tariff refund battle is growing costly. The #US will have to pay companies back with interest. The #CatoInstitute calculated that the government will owe an additional $700 million in interest for every month it delays payment.

Report by the conservative CATO institute is worth reading, because it rebuts many of Trump’s lies about the contributions of immigrants

The #CatoInstitute did a study and found that #immigrants pay more in #Taxes than they receive in benefits from the government. Immigrants help pay down the national debt!

Long-term data show right-wing violence has been deadlier than left-wing attacks, revealing how authoritarian framing distorts the true domestic threat balance. #RightWingExtremism #PoliticalViolence #ThreatInflation #CivilSocietySuppression #NarrativeWeaponization #USPolitics #CatoInstitute

Cato highlighted that political violence is statistically rare, yet authoritarian actors exploit rare events to inflate fear and justify expanded power. #CharlieKirk #ThreatInflation #PoliticalViolence #CivilSocietySuppression #NarrativeWeaponization #Project2025 #USPolitics #CatoInstitute

Cato reframed Kirk’s assassination as statistically rare political violence, warning that inflated perceptions risk authoritarian overreach. #CatoInstitute #NarrativeWeaponization #CharlieKirk

Power and the Hypocritical Demand for Civility Without truthfulness about the fundamental facts of political violence, civility and peace, will continue to be elusive.

Eighty-three percent of those murdered since 1975 were killed by the 9/11 terrorists. The Oklahoma City Bombing accounts for about another 5 percent. Those murdered since 2020 account for just 2 percent.

An expert at the #CatoInstitute notes that this is a familiar pattern.

"This continues a pattern of #Trump being his own lawyers’ worst enemy with his public statements," says Thomas Berry. "Trump simply admits that he wants the F.C.C. to go after stations that are unfriendly to him.”

Graphic from Time Magazine using data from the Cato Institute showing that in the US in the last half-century there more than 6x as many politically-motivated murders from the right (391) as from the left (65).

Update. The report the Trump DOJ just took down was originally released in June 2024, during the Biden administration. But the Biden National Institute of Justice (#NIJ) wasn't the only research org to conclude that most domestic terrorism in the US is from […]

Rediscovered my pocket #DeclarationOfIndependence & #ConstitutionOfTheUnitedStatesofAmerica from @catoinstitute. Thanks #CatoInstitute, super portable + convenient :-)

Admittedly, even though a lot of #TheConstitution is in #English, I feel like #OldAmericanEnglish is difficult

The #nonpartisan #CongressionalBudgetOffice says the bill would add $3.4 trillion to the debt over 10 years while the #Committee for a #ResponsibleFederalBudget said it would add $4.1 trillion. The #conservative #CatoInstitute put the figure as high as $6 trillion.

The Worst Part of Trump’s Big Bill Is Getting Almost No Attention The Republican budget bill is stuffed with terrible policies, but Democrats have been largely silent on perhaps its most destructive component.

The megabill gives an orgy of resources for Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller. The #CatoInstitute estimates that immigration and border funding would equal about 8X the FBI’s entire budget and 36 times more than tax and financial crimes enforcement

Enforcement Didn’t End Unlawful Immigration in 1950s, More Visas Did Despite what Mr. Trump says, the lesson from the 1950s is not that harsh and inhumane immigration enforcement is effective, it is that a legal migration pathway can halt unlawful immigration.

You know about this? And from right-wing #KochNetwork #CatoInstitute.

The Cato Institute, a Libertarian think tank that wants smaller government, published this analysis showing that immigrants provide a massive net financial gain for local governments.
