In the early morning of May 22, the House of Representatives narrowly passed the Trump Administration’s so-called ‘Big Beautiful Bill,’ moving the country one step closer to gutting core social programs in favor of tax cuts that benefit higher-income households. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office stated that it “estimates that in general, resources would decrease […]

Big ‘Beautiful’ Bill – leaves Americans with Big Ugly Policy
On Saturday, the White House released its ‘fact’ sheet on how the President’s touted ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ will rid the country of the immigrants that Trump so clearly loathes. Entitled “The One Big Beautiful Bill Will Crack Down On Illegal Immigration,” the fact sheet lays out – in vague partisan statements – the plan to […]
Housing – and life – continues to get more expensive for American families
Daily household costs continue to increase for American families as shown in today’s Consumer Price Index data release from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. While headline CPI came in at an increase of 0.2 percent, housing costs – including energy costs – increased at an even higher rate of inflation. Given that the average […]
Trump turns to bribery to further push cultural repatriation plan
Building on the Administration’s initial push on April 13 to re-establish a 1930s-era cultural repatriation campaign (see: Cultural Repatriation Campaign 2.0) to remove migrants from America, on May 9, the President went one step further, signing a proclamation establishing ‘Project Homecoming’ to encourage illegal aliens to depart the United States voluntarily. While ‘Project Homecoming’ may […]
Trump blurs lines between church and state with new Religious Liberty Commission
Last week, the Trump administration further blurred the lines between church and state by signing an Executive Order establishing the ‘Religious Liberty Commission.’ Just days later, on May 3, in what was likely supposed to be a comical post, Trump posted a photo of himself as Pope. Funny? Not particularly, especially given Trump’s remarks during […]
Trump brings racism back to America’s classrooms
Hot on the heels of his Administration’s April 23 Executive order effectively restoring racism under the guise of ‘equality of opportunity and meritocracy’ in the Civil Service (see: Restoring racism), Trump went one step further that same day and issued an Executive Order for American classrooms to rid them of “unlawful equity ideology” policies. The […]
Restoring racism under the guise of ‘equality of opportunity and meritocracy’
“Our country is going to be based on merit again,” said President Trump in the White House’s official statement on the April 23 signing of an Executive Order to ‘Restore Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy.’ Our, perhaps more appropriate title, may have been Restoring Racism. The sweeping order aims to eliminate the use of disparate-impact […]
Cultural repatriation campaign 2.0? Administration ‘studying the law’ on deporting U.S. citizens
During the 1930s, it is estimated that upwards of 600,000 American citizens who happened to be of Mexican descent were deported from the United States under a cultural repatriation campaign conceived by President Hoover. Is President Trump destined to repeat one of the most horrendous acts of US policy? On April 13, following a sit-down […]
