The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

Planes used for deportation flights are flying without tail numbers so they’re harder for activists and watchdogs to track. The Department of Homeland Security has yet to comment.
