The Corporate Miscreants Driving the Affordability Crisis These 20 firms all have something in common: Their CEOs get paid millions, their workers are being pushed onto public assistance, and voters are fed up with them.

That’s how we get broad based prosperity and a more dynamic economy.

Kristi Noem Didn’t Give a Sh*t About ‘the Details’ Such as a woman who was here legally and helped the homeless—but was then deported anyway.

"Maria was working with a shelter program to house fifty unhoused families at one of the Motel 6 properties she managed, she told me." Now that she's been deported, they might be out of a home.
