The Federal Government Has Borrowed Trillions. Who Owns All That Debt? At the end of 2022, the nation’s gross debt had reached nearly $31.4 trillion. Of that amount, about $24.5 trillion, or 78 percent, was debt held by the public, representing cash borrowed from domestic and foreign investors. The remaining $7.0 trillion (22 percent), was intragovernmental debt, which simply records transactions between one part of the federal government and another.

Canada’s honoring of Nazi vet exposes Ottawa’s longstanding Ukraine policy: By celebrating a Waffen-SS volunteer as a “hero,” Canada’s Liberal Party highlighted a longstanding policy that has seen Ottawa train fascist militants in Ukraine while welcoming in thousands of post-war Nazi SS veterans. Canada’s second most powerful official, Chrystia Freeland, is the granddaughter of one of Nazi Germany’s top Ukrainian propagandists.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is at a crossroads. He can either shut down the government and possibly save his standing with the GOP hardliners threatening to oust him, or work with Democrats to pass a short-term spending bill and avert a government shutdown, potentially at the expense of his own speakership.

Government Shutdown: How It Could Affect the Military and U.S. National Security: What a government shutdown would mean for the U.S. military, national security Service members would work without pay, and many civil servants are likely to be furloughed.
