With $4.4 trillion in revenue, if the government had kept their spending levels equal to FY 2019 spending, the U.S.’s yearly financial position would be about break even; FY 2018 spending levels would put us in a surplus.

Let that sink in.

[HEADING=2][SIZE=6]Michigan Republican lawmaker blasted for false claim that buses carrying March Madness teams are ‘illegal invaders’[/SIZE][/HEADING]
State House Rep. Matt Maddock made claims on social media that buses at a Detroit airport carrying college basketball players were instead shuttling undocumented immigrants into the city.

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. — A Michigan state lawmaker involved in former President Donald Trump’s election denials is being widely criticized after the Republican made false claims that buses carrying college athletes to Detroit for March Madness were shuttling illegal migrant “invaders” into the city.

State House Rep. Matt Maddock made the claim Wednesday night in a social media post accompanied by photos of three buses near an Allegiant plane at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Maddock wrote that the buses “just loaded up with illegal invaders.”

“Anyone have any idea where they’re headed with their police escort?” the Republican wrote on the social media platform X, formerly Twitter. Maddock describes himself as Michigan’s “most conservative state representative” in his profile on the platform.

Four college basketball teams traveling to Detroit for the second weekend of the NCAA basketball tournament arrived by plane Wednesday evening, the Wayne County Airport Authority said in a statement. The “buses seen in a photograph circulating online were transporting the basketball teams and their respective staffs,” the statement added.

Maddock’s post drew swift criticism on social media, with multiple accounts noting that an earlier post on the Gonzaga men’s basketball team’s social media page had indicated their departure for Detroit, featuring an Allegiant plane.

“A sitting State Representative sees a group of buses at the airport and immediately yells ‘illegal invaders’ which is a pretty rude (and also, frankly, dangerous) way to greet the Gonzaga Men’s Basketball Team arriving for March Madness,” state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, a Democrat, wrote on social media.

But Maddock doubled down on his posts Thursday, adding that hundreds of thousands of “illegals are pouring into our country” and into Michigan.

In a text message response to The Associated Press, Maddock declined to acknowledge that the buses were transporting basketball players.

“I haven’t heard a good answer yet,” Maddock wrote. “I took a tip and asked because this is happening in many places and it is well documented.”

Some Republicans who had initially echoed Maddock’s claims made in his original post, such as Michigan GOP chairman Pete Hoekstra, quickly backtracked.

Just a little jumpy. 15+ million moving by foot, cars, buses, and secret airport landing have people a bit apprehensive. I will say he should have done a bit more reconnaissance before saying that.

Just think of that number.

PTSD from this ongoing ordeal is probably the most likely culprit. Devastating.

PTSD from this ongoing ordeal is probably the most likely culprit. Devastating.

Since he doubled down after being called out, it's just plain irresponsibility and the goal to be disingenuous.
A simple, "Sorry, I over reacted." would have been the appropriate reaction.

You can't rationalize this one away, but keep trying. Not saying he's the only one who's painted himself into a corner, it's something common to both parties.
