The 2026 fiscal year ended Wednesday. The national debt increased by $2,534,271,606,405. That's $2.53 trillion. Or: $6.9 billion a day $290 million an hour $4.8 million a minute $80,000 a second

💬 17🔁 6❤ 38Oct 2, 2026

At the beginning of the fiscal year, the 10-year was at 4.1 percent. Today, the 10-year is at 5.1 percent: a 100 basis point movement over a single fiscal year. A sustained 60 basis point rise adds roughly $2 trillion in interest over a decade. A sustained 100 basis point increase would add $3.4 trillion.

💬 3🔁 1❤ 7Sep 24, 2026

We have to show the world’s debt markets we’re serious about our fiscal future or we risk letting them decide our future for us. This fiscal year alone, we’ll borrow about $2.5 trillion, $6.9 billion a day, nearly $80,000 every second.

💬 4🔁 2❤ 12Sep 24, 2026

My condolences go out to the Kyl family today. Senator Jon Kyl will be remembered as a true statesman who always did right by Arizona and America. I was honored to have had the opportunity to serve with him.

💬 7🔁 1❤ 30Sep 17, 2026

The rate on the 10-year Treasury note has reached 5% twice since 2007: briefly in October 2023 and today. Today's number should scare Congress. In 2007, debt-to-GDP was 62% and the deficit was 1.1%. Now, debt-to-GDP is 123% and the deficit is above 6%. https://t.co/9XpMJ0PVtQ

💬 11🔁 4❤ 13Sep 14, 2026

At a 5% average interest rate, $63 trillion in debt means about $3.15 trillion a year just to pay interest. By 2036, that could consume roughly 56% of federal revenue outside payroll taxes. That’s interest fragility. Eventually you’re borrowing just to cover the cost of past borrowing.

💬 333🔁 147❤ 755Sep 11, 2026

Today, we remember the 2,977 Americans who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, changing our lives forever. May we never forget the heroes of 9/11 and the brave sacrifices made by so many to protect their fellow citizens.

💬 1🔁 2❤ 12Sep 11, 2026

We went from around 20 copper smelters in the U.S. to two, while China came to dominate much of the critical-mineral processing. Bringing that processing capacity back means using new extraction and refining technology to leapfrog the old methods and build the next generation of processing here.

💬 11🔁 10❤ 40Sep 2, 2026

Debt models start crashing when federal debt reaches around 154% of the size of the economy. At current interest rates, we’re headed above 160% in the next decade. The models put us in the danger zone around 2035. A recession, war or one bad shock can push our borrowing costs higher when we have less room to absorb it and are already borrowing just to pay the interest. We can change the math now, or eventually the bond market will do it for us.

💬 26🔁 11❤ 50Sep 2, 2026

We’re borrowing roughly $7 billion a day. Too many in Washington still do not understand what that means. If we keep borrowing at this pace, the bond market will run this country. https://t.co/e40Whe2xrw

How these are counted

Each roll call takes the policy area the Library of Congress gave the bill it is about; a vote on an amendment counts under its bill. 468 of the House’s 676 roll calls this Congress have an issue. Left out as procedural (208): votes on House rules and the previous question, motions to recommit or adjourn, quorum calls and the Speaker election. “With the Republican majority” counts every issue vote on which most Republicans voted the same way, Yea or Nay. “Against both parties” = most Republicans and most Democrats voted one way and this member the other. “With the Democratic majority” = a party-line vote (most of each party on opposite sides) on which this member sided with the Democrats. Independents count with the party they caucus with.
