Homelessness is increasingly caused by soaring rents and low wages, not laziness or personal failures. The solution is strong government intervention to house everyone and to end landlords’ control over our lives.

Senator Ted Cruz is many things: a constitutional originalist, a spineless coward, and most recently, a podcaster. His weekly show Verdict with Ted Cruz has raised some uncomfortable questions—not just about how many hours a sitting U.S. Senator should be allowed to whine about cancel-culture into a Shure mic, but about the ethics of monetizing a podcast while in office.

In 2023, watchdog groups filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission alleging Cruz was illegally soliciting donations via the podcast. Although Cruz apparently receives no salary from the show, the iHeartRadio network has contributed nearly $1 million in ad revenue to a super PAC supporting Cruz’s reelection bid. The FEC, in its infinite wisdom, dismissed the complaint in early 2025. And while that may clear him legally, it raises a deeper, more philosophical question: Should politicians have podcasts at all?

In an effort to answer that question, I stumbled across something nearly as horrifying as Cr

Deportations will eliminate millions of jobs held by immigrant and U.S.-born workers according to research on increased immigration enforcement.

Key findings

• The number of deportations will skyrocket once the Trump administration fully rolls out its agenda. This will curtail business operations and reduce employer demand for immigrant and U.S.-born labor.
• If the administration follows through on its goals of deporting 4 million people over four years:

1. There will be 3.3 million fewer employed immigrants and 2.6 million fewer employed U.S.-born workers at the end of that period.
2. Employment in the construction sector will drop sharply: U.S.-born construction employment will fall by 861,000, and immigrant employment will fall by 1.4 million.
3. The deportations will eliminate half a million child care jobs.

• California, Florida, New York, and Texas will have the highest number of job losses due to larger immigrant populations in these states.

Nineteen White House officials own between $875,000 and $2.35 million in the crypto assets President Trump proposed holding in a national reserve, according to CREW’s analysis of nearly 120 executive branch financial disclosures.

While cryptocurrencies can be extremely volatile, the government holding these assets in reserve could legitimize what is currently viewed as a risky asset class. In a scenario where increased institutional buy-in results in rising values, White House officials who own the assets in question could profit from the impacts of the reserve plan.

In March 2025, President Trump issued an executive order establishing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and United States Digital Asset Stockpile. Days before issuing the order, President Trump described his plans for the digital asset stockpile in a series of posts on Truth Social, announcing his intention to create a “U.S. Crypto Reserve” that includes Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP (the native cryp

The Self-Proclaimed “Most Transparent” Administration in History is Withholding Information From the Public on Trump’s Corrupt Actions

The Trump Administration is attacking federal support for thousands of community libraries, museums, and other nonprofits that support the arts, humanities, and learning, diminishing programs and services provided daily to families across every U.S. state and territory.

The Administration has targeted federal agencies directly responsible for supporting local libraries, museums, arts, and humanities for wholesale dismantlement, while canceling existing support previously committed to communities and, at least in some cases, illegally impounding funds. While court orders have paused some of these actions, harm is being felt nationwide.

The long-standing federal role in community arts, humanities, and afterschool and informal learning provides essential support for library and museum programming, digital resources for families, librarian and museum-professional training, and local opportunities in the arts and humanities that many communities cannot otherwise access from state, l

BREAKING: Documents filed in court today assert that officials from El Salvador told the United Nations that it "facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure" by the U.S. but that "the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the" U.S.
