Debt Badge of the U.S. national debt in real time (May 12, 2026)

• ... that a U.S. congressman created a wearable badge that displays the U.S. national debt in real time (pictured)?

• Not a review, but I am a little unsure that this needs a stand-alone article. Some of the content such as Massie's engineering background are established as context in his BLP, and some of the remarks such as the feud with Trump appear peripheral and offhand. I can move this to the article talk if that is more appropriate. Whonting (talk) 07:00, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

@Whonting: One option would be to nominate the article for deletion so that the community could chime in on the article's notability. If the article is kept, the nomination can continue, but if the article is deleted, this fails. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:51, 22 May 2026 (UTC)
