US is accepting ‘gifts' via Venmo, PayPal to reduce $36.7 trillion debt; leaves Americans fuming at ‘the audacity'
Several Americans were left fuming at the US government's 'audacity' in accepting 'gifts' via Venmo and PayPal to reduce the country's ballooning $36.7 trillion debt. The US Treasury Department on Friday said that it is now accepting these digital payment platforms on the 'Gifts to Reduce the Public Debt' page on The US public debt has increased by a whopping 87% from $19.59 trillion in 2010. However, taxpayers on social media platforms were unhappy to learn about this donation program, which has existed since 1996. Americans were angry about this latest push from the US Treasury Department for public donations to 'help' the massive national debt. They pointed out that each citizen is already paying the county 40% of their salary in tax. 'They literally steal 40% of your money and they have the audacity to want donations?' an angry American said. 'Wow, so now they want more money on top of my TAXES they take from me,' added another. A social media user wondered if the donation would amount to a tax write-off. 'The ironic part is that it's probably not a tax write-off,' he said. 'I hope the Treasury will report their own Venmo payments to the IRS,' an American joked. However, a few irked users responded hilariously to this new initiative and claimed, 'This might be the silliest thing I've ever seen.' 'Ummm. How about no,' said one user. 'Are we poor?' asked another. A user asked, 'What's next? A Go Fund Me?' 'WTF was the point of DOGE?' questioned a user. 'Tell Israel to donate all the money that was given to them,' quipped a user. They even tagged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and said, 'Don't forget to help your best ally, the USA, pay the debt.' A user wondered, 'Who would do this?' According to US Treasury data, the public has contributed $67.3 million since 1996, a figure that remains negligible compared to the federal debt. The recently enacted 'Big, Beautiful Bill' by US President Donald Trump is expected to add $3.4 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, according to estimates from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office. The legislation has sparked controversy, drawing sharp criticism from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who condemned the move for raising the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, fueling a public spat between him and Trump. Amid mounting concerns, the US Treasury's latest push for public donations has been met with scepticism. The growing debt continues to cast doubt on the long-term sustainability of US fiscal policy and the impact of such symbolic efforts.

Trump calls Epstein file scrutiny a "con job", blames Democrats
US President Donald Trump has termed as "con job" the controversy surrounding his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and sharply criticised Democrats over what he called a politically motivated distraction, The Hill reported. "The Radical Left Democrats are doing everything in their power to distract and obfuscate from our GREAT six months of service to America, results of which many are saying is the BEST six months in Presidential history," Trump wrote on Truth Social. He added, "They have gone absolutely CRAZY, and are playing another Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax but, this time, under the guise of what we will call the Jeffrey Epstein SCAM."

As per The Hill, the president had recently instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek the release of grand jury testimonies from Epstein and his alleged accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. The decision followed mounting pressure for transparency from both Democrats and conservatives, including members of Trump's own MAGA base. However, on Wednesday, US District Judge Robin Rosenberg declined the Department of Justice's request, saying, "The Court's hands are tied." Live Events Trump, responding to the legal setback, questioned why Democrats did not unseal the documents during former President Biden's tenure, when they held a Senate majority. According to The Hill, a newly released Trump administration memo concluded that Epstein did not maintain a "client list" and reaffirmed that the financier's 2019 death in jail remains officially ruled a suicide -- findings that have only intensified calls for clarity from the Department of Justice. A recent Emerson College Polling survey cited by The Hill showed that over 50 percent of voters disapprove of the administration's handling of the Epstein probe. A separate Fox News poll found that 60 percent of GOP voters believe the government is not being transparent about the case files. The fallout has led to divisions within the Republican Party. As The Hill reported, House Speaker Mike Johnson told CBS News that the case is "not a hoax," a marked departure from Trump's "witch hunt" framing. Rep. Thomas Massie, a frequent critic of Trump, announced plans to introduce a bipartisan resolution -- co-sponsored by Democrat Ro Khanna -- to compel the administration to release all Epstein-related documents. Meanwhile, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche met with Ghislaine Maxwell on Thursday and is expected to continue questioning her Friday. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer also issued a subpoena for Maxwell, with plans to depose her on August 11, The Hill said.

$100 million missing? Trump calls FireAid 'another Democrat inspired scam'; California wildfire charity funds never reach direct victims
US President Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack on California's wildfire relief efforts, branding the high-profile FireAid benefit concert a 'total disaster' and accusing Democrats of planning and running a scam. ''FIREAID' IS A TOTAL DISASTER. LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER DEMOCRAT INSPIRED SCAM. 100 MILLION DOLLARS IS MISSING. WAS SUPPOSED TO TO GO TO THE LOS ANGELES FIRE VICTIMS, FIRES THAT, WITH PROPER MANAGEMENT, WOULD NEVER HAVE EVEN HAPPENED,' Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. He also blamed Democrat California governor Gavin Newsom for refusing to release vital water reserves during the crisis. 'GOVERNOR NEWSCUM REFUSED TO RELEASE BILLIONS OF GALLONS OF WATER FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, AND THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT WOULD HAVE MADE! I HAVE SINCE OVERRULED HIM, AND IT IS NOW RELEASED. All FEDERAL HOUSING PERMITS HAVE ALSO BEEN APPROVED, THE CITY IS YEARS LATE. GET THE FIRE VICTIMS THEIR APPROVALS TO REBUILD, AND DO IT NOW!' Trump's remarks come amid growing scrutiny over the distribution of funds raised during the FireAid concert, which was staged across two major venues: SoFi Stadium and the Forum, in January. The event, organised by Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and featuring major artists such as Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, brought in $100 million after Ballmer and his wife Connie matched all public donations, as per CBS news. Although many organisations praised the swift distribution of FireAid benefit funds, concerns began circulating online and on social media alleging that the donations were not reaching wildfire victims. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pirates Climb Aboard Cargo Ship - Watch What The Captain Did Next Tips and Tricks Undo In response to these claims, Representative Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin) penned a letter urging the Department of Justice to investigate the matter. However, several recipient organisations have publicly defended FireAid, citing rapid distribution and tangible impact. 'We received $250,000,' said Kevin McManus, spokesperson for Pasadena Humane Society. 'We were able to save a lot of animals' lives in part because of that donation.' Michael Flood, CEO of the LA Regional Food Bank, said FireAid came at a crucial time when demand for food assistance surged by 30% due to the devastation caused by wildfires in the Pacific Palisades and Altadena. 'It was especially high in January through March as so many people were displaced and lost power and water,' Flood told Los Angeles Times. 'People had to move in with family and friends around the county. We did a food bank in Inglewood in February and we saw just how many had been displaced by both fires.' On the other hand, many individuals said that they received no funds from the event. "I have not seen any benefit from the FireAid money, and I am very involved here and neither have my neighbors," said David Howard, who lost two homes in Pacific Palisades told Fox news. According to the FireAid website, the concert raised an estimated $100 million intended for 'direct relief.' During the event, host and actor Miles Teller assured viewers that 'all the money raised will go directly to people who need it now and long-term efforts to build it back.' However, last week, the charity said that it was not possible to make direct payments. "FireAid does not have the capability to make direct payments to individuals and that was never the plan. We partnered directly with trusted local reach communities in need," the fox news reported. Despite praise from aid groups, these accusations have reignited political debate over the state's handling of wildfire relief, emergency management, and the transparency of charity fund allocation.
