With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, ‘If it can happen to me, i...

A British grandmother with a valid visa detained by ICE for 6 weeks.

"So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. 'Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,' Karen says."

Howard Lutnick continued his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of sex trafficking minors. Then, Lutnick lied about it. Why is he still in our government?

He should be held accountable.

In all seriousness when I read this I first started to laugh and then a split-second later thought, you know, they actually may do this

This is an amazing-sounding thought experiment, but there’s a simple oversight that renders it misleading.

In reality, if Bezos lit a million dollars on fire every day for 693 years and 8 months, he would have more money than he started with, because his wealth grows by more than $1m per day.

AOC is already second in polling for the 2028 NH primary.

She can win.

"Neighbors" in the spiritual sense but total strangers, too.

Oh, okay. I'll bite.

The right to vote is enshrined in the Constitution.

The "right" of armed federal cops to arrest, beat, and kill people with anonymity is not.

If we are required to show a passport in order to vote, doesn’t that make passport fees an illegal poll tax?

AI and the Coming Jobless Economy AI will make most of us poorer and a few fabulously wealthy — unless its productivity gains are allocated fairly. Here’s what we should we be considering now.

It's all about distribution

We need UBI
