Since January, Trump's Treasury has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax β€” a huge boon for big business and wealthy investors.

Meanwhile, he's led an all-out assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that help the poor.

Reverse Robin Hood.

So inflation and cost of living has been going up every month since this administration took over…this administration that promised it would all come down on day 1?

Now it’s because of the previous administration?

The one that had nothing to do with tariffing the entire planet?

Makes sense.

Seriously, for their own good, Dems who voted for this need to not be saying β€œwe did a good thing, this is why.”

The line needs to be β€œwe fought like hell to get healthcare back, but Donald Trump was willing to burn the country to the ground.”

More broadly, officials across ICE say Noem and Lewandowski have directed them to use a $170
billion infusion of cash from Congress to launch splashy ideas that have proven ineffective or impractical.
Among the examples some ICE officials have cited: A few weeks ago, the pair ordered ICE officials to buy 10 737 jets from Spirit Airlines that they said would be used to boost deportation flightsβ€” and for their own travel, according to people familiar with the matter.
Some officials warned the pair that the effort would be prohibitively expensive compared with hiring more flight contractors, the people said.

Once the officials looked into the proposal, they learned that Spirit, which filed for bankruptcy for a second time in August, didn't own the planes. The planes also don't have engines, which would need to be purchased separately.
The project has since been put on pause, though DHS recently purchased two Gulfstream jets for $200 million, according to Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee, who were notified by the department.
A spokesperson for Spirit didn't respond to a request for comment.

With Trump’s massive tax cuts for the wealthy currently exploding the deficit, and now this, Trump and his oligarch cronies want to make us debt slaves from birth to death while truly owning nothing, while they buy bigger yachts and more mansions.

At least they FINALLY admitted why they refused to negotiate on the shutdown. First they lied and promised Dems they would β€œnegotiate” this, but only AFTER they voted for the CR. But Dems were correct when they assessed that Republicans NEVER intended to extend these subsidies.

β€˜You Are All Terrorists’: Four Months in a Salvadoran Prison

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine.

We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison.

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.

Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.

Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.

Glad everything worked out for them.

It's the deadliest year for people in ICE custody in decades; next year could be worse There have been at least 20 deaths in ICE custody in 2025, the deadliest year since 2004. As the agency is ramping up hiring and increasing detentions, concerns remain about how to stop the trend.

At least 20 people have died in ICE custody in 2025, making this year the deadliest in decades. With increases to ICE’s funding, workforce, and detention space, the system riddled with abuse and neglect will undoubtedly be more life-threatening in 2026.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.

This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

1. On September 23, Adelita Grijalva won a special Congressional election in Arizona, collecting 69% of the vote.

43 days later, Speaker Johnson has not sworn her in.

The delay, 8 days longer than the previous record, has prevented Grijalva from forcing a vote to release the Epstein files.

Hell yes, the Republican party’s official response to people voting against them should be β€œyou’re not allowed to do that anymore,” especially since they’re not going to actually be able to do it. Make that brand toxic as shit.

So many Fake Polls are being shown by the Radical Left Media, all slanted heavily toward Democrats and Far Left Wingers. In the Fair Polls, and even the Reasonable Polls, I have the Best Numbers I have ever had and, why shouldn't I? I ended eight Wars, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, kept Prices, Inflation, and Taxes down, and am setting standards for Right Track / Wrong Track for a future U.S.A. Fake News will never change, they are evil and corrupt but, as I look around my beautiful surroundings, I say to myself, "Oh, look, l'm sitting in the Oval Office!"
