ICYMI: The Trump administration is reportedly receiving millions of immigration applications, pocketing the hefty fees, and never processing the applications. It’s collected over $1 billion in fees so far. Where is the outcry over this fraud and abuse?

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025. The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined. Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Simple information about what the SAVE Act would actually do to American voters. Tens of millions would lose their right to vote unless they spend lots of $$$ and jump through bureaucratic hoops before November.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence. If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”? You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.

So, to recap, DOGE cuts mean: -Paying more than 154,000 federal employees not to work -A loss of over $10 billion in US-based economic activity -$21 billion in waste spent on mass layoffs

Shadow docket

Deporting 1 million immigrants per year would not only tear apart families, especially to those whose children were born in the U.S.A., but would also harm our economy. Undocumented immigrant households paid nearly $89.8 billion in taxes in 2023. amp.fresnobee.com/opinion/lett...

In case you missed it, wanting to know what you’re paying for is now considered “political and hostile”.

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy. These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households. Tax the rich.
