Basic income must be the most studied policy of all and yet we keep getting more trials because politicians cannot accept how well it works
A new trial gave homeless people £2,000 to spend however they choose. What they spent the money on may surprise you.
Homeless people were given free money, no strings attached. Here's what happened

Most presidents do not in fact name anything after themselves while they’re in office, because they’re not toddlers who constantly need to be the center of attention.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

Ah yes, the most famous of all the anti-immigrant holidays, Christmas.
DHS just shared this video to X with the caption "This Christmas, our hearts grow as our illegal population shrinks."
The video is set to a version of Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and has text that reads "Christmas after mass deportations." The end reads "Mirthnuke."
Evil shit.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

I know it's just golf, but I'm a 41-yr-old white. The National Links Trust has been diligently executing their plan for the three DC municipal courses, but Trump is kicking them out to put his name on whatever monstrosity comes next. East Potomac is a special place to me and this sucks so much.
‘We’re gutted’: They planned to revive this D.C. muni. President Trump has other plans
East Potomac Golf Links was under the watch of the National Links Trust. Now, the trust’s founders say, President Trump wants the course.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

there is no available evidence that donald trump understands what a tariff is, what a trade deficit is, and what the national debt is.
The way Trump talks about the problems he caused by unilaterally imposing tariffs is fairly insane, even by his standards.

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.
Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.
