The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Our problem isn't a lack of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

The H-1B visa EO is yet another kick to our struggling healthcare systems. Eastern Maine Medical Center, for instance, has roughly 120 H-1B employees at any given time. Under the new order, that's a $12M per year fee just to remain staffed at current levels.

The idea that the president could revoke individuals' citizenship just because he feels like it is horrifying. It's also the logical follow-on to the immigration policies and deportations he's pushing. Want to get rid of citizens? Make them non-citizens, then deport...
There is no legal mechanism by which the government can strip away citizenship for a natural born American citizen.
To even consider such retaliation against a fellow American for daring to exercise her 1st Amendment right to free speech should in itself headline every chyron & headline.

Another ICE "assault" case unravels. Border Patrol and ICE are arresting US citizens and then after they find out that they are US citizens, they are charging them with "assault" to justify their actions. This is clearly DHS policy at this point. We've seen it repeatedly now.

The first group of immigrants has arrived at a new “camp” deep in the Florida Everglades, where officials are openly describing it as “concentrating” certain people in one area. Have you seen the photos of the flooding? This entire site is a human rights violation.

Something to watch: before Stephen Miller's orders to start arresting people before their hearings at immigration courts: 98.5% of people attended their hearings. They are trying to undermine the courts.
