Trump Has Spent $40 Million in Secretive Deals Deporting Hundreds of People to Third Countries
The Trump administration's secretive deportation deals with human rights-abusing countries are costing taxpayers millions and putting migrants at risk. How can we stand by as our government prioritizes appearance over human lives? Demand transparency and accountability now. #EndDeportationDeals

Whoa! Didn’t expect to wake up to this news.
“A year into Trump’s term, voters say Biden was better.”
Trump’s net approval on the economy is now -18. That’s 26 points worse than this point in his first term and a brutal 53 points lower among independents.

Trump tapped white nationalist Jeremy Carl for Assistant Secretary of State for International Orgs.
He called the Civil Rights Act an “anti-white weapon,” pushed the “great replacement,” called Juneteenth a “race hustle,” and compared J6 defendants to Black defendants in Jim Crow trials.

Reporter: Within DHS, Secretary Noem and Corey Lewandowski frequently berate senior level staff and give polygraph tests to employees that they simply don't trust. The pair has fired or demoted 80% of the career ICE field leadership that was in place when they first started.

Skeleton racer sacrificed his dream of winning a medal and succeeded in putting the horrors of the war in Ukraine back on the agenda
To be an Olympic-class skeleton racer requires extraordinary guts and impeccable nerve, as the corners loom and then whoosh past at frightening speed. So did anybody really believe that Ukraine’s Vladyslav Heraskevych would lose his when the world’s eyes were upon him?
Not the International Olympic Committee, who flipped between threats of expulsion and sweet talk over the past fortnight, without coming close to changing his mind.
