Trump and his sons are suing the IRS and Treasury for $10B over alleged tax info leaks. So do the rest of us get to sue him for creating DOGE to vacuum up our personal data or is privacy only sacred when it’s his? Isn’t MAGA supposedly against presidents enriching themselves?

Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.
