Is there anything more American than skimming obscene amounts of money off of a charity purported to exist to help the disadvantaged? Well, churches have, too!
Franklin Graham gives himself $720,000/year from one of his charities called "Samaritan's Purse," with, clearly, the emphasis on the purse.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

Riddle me this:
If Trump's military hasn't issued any illegal orders, why has Pete Hegseth been unable to come up with *any* legal justification for killing those fishermen in boats in the Caribbean?🤔

Almost all of the "MAGA" accounts on X have been determined to be located in other countries. Trump literally has to pretend he still has a huge following.
We know better. Hell, DC insiders are quietly working to oust him.

Pete Hegseth is right: Mark Kelly shouldn't be a senator.
He should take Hegseth's job and be SECDEF.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

After ousting the BLS director and scrapping the October jobs and inflation reports, Trump is now canceling release of the advance Q3 GDP estimate.
Trump doesn't mind turning the lights off on the economy because he’d rather Americans not know how badly it’s doing under him.

Cannot overstate how, from my perch as a national-security reporter, this would have been an earth-shattering scandal in a prior era.
Billionaire Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, pardoned by Donald Trump, has been accused of facilitating millions of dollars’ worth of payments to Hamas in the wake of its attack on Israel on October 7 2023. Zhao also financed the Trump family's entrance into the cryptocurrency market.

Is it any surprise the Trump team has decided to make it *harder* for aspiring nurses to afford nursing school?
Yet another healthcare “policy” that will harm our future.
