The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

The full low-down on RFK Jr.’s connection to a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa and, just as important, how he lied about it. That’s key. Kennedy is an inveterate liar. He makes up facts & plots, and he lies about what he himself has said. Another con man.

A Trump-appointed judge just struck down a Biden rule expanding overtime pay to 4 million working people.

A GOP plan for the census would revive Trump's failed push for a citizenship question
Conservative groups created a census plan for a Republican president that includes pushing for a citizenship question that's likely to lower the counts for Latinos and Asian Americans.
