DHS failed to back up its claims about noncitizens on voter rolls, and is doubling down by announcing more (sham) investigations. Let's be clear: this is another attempt to undermine public confidence in elections. The truth: only U.S. citizens vote in our elections. Repost to spread the word.
DHS data on noncitizen voters in Nevada is disputed. Initially estimated at 15,903, the revised estimate is 185. Verified noncitizens = 0 because DHS refuses to provide matching data and methodology on the list of 185 voters making verification of claims impossible.

(whispering) you don’t have to comply, you’re a $4 trillion corporation in a capitalist society
Markets Do Not Punish Firms for Maintaining DEI*
Hanna Folsz
Jacob M. Grumbach*
August 14, 2026
Abstract
The Trump administration has used executive authority to influence the behavior of civil society organizations such as law firms, universities, and corporations.
Do corporations that resist executive orders perform worse financially? In January 2025, the Trump administration issued an executive order directing federal agencies to investigate and compel firms to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. Some firms complied with the order, whereas other firms resisted by reaffirming their DEl programs. We find that S&P 500 firms that maintained their DEI programs performed just as well as compliant firms, both in terms of stock market returns and revenue. The results are robust across various measures of maintaining DEI, including measures based on executives' public statements about DEI programs, interest group ratings, firm financial statements, and shareholder rejections of anti-DEl resolutions. The results suggest that, at least in some areas, firms can resist pressure from the executive branch with minimal costs to financial performance.
