The Last Recession Wasn’t Trump’s Fault. The Next One Will Be—Utterly.
Trump is following one of the Republican Party’s long-standing traditions: burning the economy to the ground.

ICE has abducted Senegalese WBB player Aminata Seck and won't release her. DHS 'policy' is to provide medical care to prisoners at intake, yet they admit to denying her care for an ACL injury for 1.5 months. The NCAA is letting it happen, despite its predatory recruitment of ICAs. We explain.

ICE has abducted a college athlete. What are the NCAA and universities going to do about it?
Aminata Seck’s detention shows the bargain facing international college athletes: universities eagerly recruit them, but support can disappear when their immigration status becomes precarious.

This Susan Collins story is bigger than it looks. $150K went through a shell company. Two months later, an email said Collins would help secure $32M in Navy contracts. The FBI sought a broader probe. Then Trump returned — and the anti-corruption unit was dismantled. That’s the bigger story.
