These billionaires pay their workers so little that many of their workers need public assistance.
Meanwhile, their companies just got another round of tax cuts from a bill that gutted the public assistance their workers have to rely on to get by.
Trickle-down economics is a sham.

"The truth is Vance’s 'war on fraud' is a phantom, a PR effort that will likely uncover no misdeeds that weren’t already known to actual fraud investigators. Vance’s pretend fight against fraud is the real fraud, and it’s just what we might expect from the most corrupt administration in history."
Vance's "war on fraud" is a fraud

Both countries have increased their influence with Trump by investing billions in projects that personally enrich Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

There was one place DHS apparently hadn’t bothered to look: the Minnesota prison system. That’s where Lue Moua, one of their purported targets, has been since a 2024 conviction on charges including felony kidnapping.

Given events in Minneapolis, and DJT’s desire for military control, you’re going to want to read up on the Insurrection Act of 1807 (which actually started off in 1792.) The Brennan Center explains:
