Segregation Academies in Mississippi Are Benefiting From Public Dollars, as They Did in the 1960s
ProPublica identified 20 schools in the state that likely opened as segregation academies and have received almost $10 million over the past six years from the state’s tax credit donation program.

I don't understand why the administration keeps saying that other countries pay our tariffs. This is simply not true even in the most optimistic scenario (e.g., a US importer negotiates something with their foreign partner). If the policy is good, why lie about it?

This case should be getting more attention. Remember that Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs were declared illegal by the U.S. Court of Trade. The Federal Circuit Court stayed the mandate until it could fully hear the case.
So much tariff talk - but lost in the sauce is their illegality.

ICE deports two families, including 3 children that are US CITIZENS aged 2, 4 & 7.
The families were snatched & blocked from communicating with attorneys/family.
One mother is pregnant. One child has cancer & was deported without medication or any doctor support.

He watched his three other friends burn to death.
