One in five American families fell behind on a loan or mortgage payment in the past year — up from one in eight in 2022 and the highest since 2007.

Stock holdings now exceed the value of primary residences in the U.S. Yet the typical family's home is worth five times their stock portfolio. In other words, the gains from the stock market boom are going to the top.

Trump’s deal with Putin is illegal. In 2022, the US Congresses passed the Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act, explicitly prohibiting the import of russian energy resources into the United States. Legally, Trump is not allowed to make a deal with Putin.

Officials call it a refund. Critics call it what it looks like: a taxpayer-funded political stunt designed to put Conman Pedo Trump’s name—and $500—in voters’ hands before Election Day. If this is legitimate public money, why is Trump’s name on it? And why is it arriving right before the midterms?
