I've been critical of the way the @verge has been covering the development of HBO's upcoming Harry Potter reboot. But it looks like it wasn't in vain.

"The U.S. #government is insolvent. That’s not hyperbole — it’s the conclusion drawn directly from the #Treasury Department’s own consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2025, released last week to near-total #media silence. The numbers: $6.06 trillion in total assets against $47.78 trillion in total liabilities as of September 30, 2025."

U.S. military recruiters continue promoting citizenship pathways for immigrant service members and promising temporary protection for their family members. Green-card holders joining the military have historically accessed expedited citizenship processes, and relatives can apply for temporary permission to remain in the country.”
