Trump’s immigration proclamation marked an alarming shift: he adopted “remigration,” a term popularized by Europe’s neo-Nazi movements, and DHS echoed it within hours. What began as a Heritage critique has now become a defining moment — the normalization of extremist ideology in U.S. policy.

The FDA quietly gave a global manufacturer a special pass to continue sending 14 drugs to Americans even though they were made at a substandard factory that was officially banned from the U.S. market.
