The Trump Administration Has Cancelled 250,000 Visas To The Country Over “Antisemitism” Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, Trump’s Special Envoy to “Combat Antisemitism”, announced the staggering figure while talking about alleged anti-Semitism on college campuses. In reality, what he is talking about is anti-Israel sentiment. The anti-free speech policies of the Republican administration have been slammed by Americans who argue that if critiquing the U.S. government is permitted, then why is criticism of a foreign government not.

Decision 5 that broke the U.S. economy: we rewrote the tax code to benefit rich people like me. Two changes did the heavy lifting. First, top marginal rates collapsed. From 1945 to 1963 the top rate was 91%. Under Johnson it dropped to 70%, where it stayed until 1981. Reagan took it to 50%, then to 28%. Since the early 1990s it has run between 35 and 39.6%. Second, we decided to tax wealth at roughly half the rate of work. The top rate on wages is 37%. The top rate on long-term capital gains is 20%. I am a very wealthy person. Most of my income arrives as capital gains. I pay a lower effective rate than the people who work for me. Not through any clever accounting. That's what the law says should happen. Today, the tax code helps funnel money to the rich. The RAND Corporation has measured just how. Since 1975, roughly $79 trillion in income that would have gone to the bottom 90% of Americans has gone to the top instead. In 2023 alone the gap was $3.9 trillion—that's $32,000 taken from every full-time worker in the bottom 90% in a year. There is no economic justification for taxing work harder than ownership. There is no moral one either. It is the product of fifty years of lobbying by people who could afford to hire lobbyists. The fix: tax capital like labor, or higher. Raise the top rate. Close the carried interest loophole. None of this is radical. It's what this country did during the period when the American middle class grew faster than at any time before or since.

The United States has provided at least $21.7 billion in direct military aid to Izzy over the last three years (specifically tracking from October 2023 through September 2025), according to a comprehensive study by Brown University's Costs of War project.

Israel's largest arms manufacturer was just exposed for being bankrolled by a financial firm in which Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law, is the largest shareholder of, which I honestly think could be the biggest and grossest conflict of interest in modern American history.

​So we just learned from a shocking and disturbing investigative report by CNN that Affinity Partners, which is Jared Kushner's private equity firm, is the largest stakeholder in a Tel Aviv firm called Phoenix Financial. And according to records, Phoenix Financial has poured hundreds and millions of dollars into nine separate groups that supply the IDF with military equipment, such as drones, warships, and demolition machinery. And one of those groups is called Elbit Systems, which just so happens to be Israel's largest arms manufacturer.

​And before I get into the conflict of interest part, Jared Kushner has boasted that this investment is Affinity's best investment, and they have since 5x-ed their initial investment into Phoenix Financial.

​Now, here's where the gross part comes in. Aside from all the money he's making from this, Jared Kushner is also the mediator of peace talks between America and Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who is currently engaged in war crimes against Palestinians in Gaza, and is using the weapons that arms manufacturers supply them from money they receive from Phoenix Financial, who receives their money from Jared Kushner's private equity firm, to carry out those war crimes.

​So in other words, the President of the United States, who controls foreign policy, sent his own son-in-law, who has a financial interest in prolonging this war, to negotiate peace talks with a war criminal who, as we have seen, has only ramped up the amount of war crimes he is committing.

​This is, like I said, the grossest conflict of interest in modern American history."

database of federal law enforcement officer misconduct records. A survey measuring physical, sexual and emotional violence against children and youth. Real-time pollution readings collected by air quality monitors from US embassies around the world.

These are among the hundreds of federal datasets that the Trump administration has taken down or altered as part of its aggressive campaign to wipe all mentions of data findings that do not align with the administration’s priorities.

Over the past year and a half, at least 28 federal datasets have been deleted and another 338 data collections have been modified, according to an online tracker released last week from dataindex.us, a group of data policy experts, researchers and developers that formed last year to monitor changes to government data.

“We’re at a very vulnerable point as a nation,” said Denice Ross, former US chief data scientist under the Biden administration and a co-founder of dataindex.us. “We’re facing a future where we are not going to have the information that we need to make decisions that will save lives and benefit American communities.”

The tracker includes detailed information about deleted or altered datasets from more than 60 federal agencies that span the environment, labor, law enforcement and other topics. But datasets on health appear to be the most affected by the Trump administration’s crackdown, comprising about 40% of the total number of terminated or altered data collections tracked by dataindex.us.

One of the main changes to these health datasets is that they no longer collect information on queer and trans people – as part of Donald Trump’s executive order “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government”.

Multiple Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) surveys, for example, have removed questions about respondents’ gender identity. These include the National HIV Surveillance System, the primary source of case data for HIV infections, the National Violent Death Reporting System, the CDC Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program, the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey and specific surveys evaluating Prep uptake among gay men and in communities of color.

In addition, there are at least four health datasets that are no longer being updated at all, including the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration’s (Samhsa) Drug Abuse Warning Network, a surveillance system that doctors and public health researchers used to track drug-related emergency room visits in near real-time to spot emerging overdose trends.

“These data are critical for identifying emerging epidemics and what parts of the population are most vulnerable to different types of health conditions,” said Thomas Babor, a professor emeritus at the University of Connecticut who specializes in public health and addiction.

A GAO report released in August 2026 found that DOGE's claimed savings (initially totaling around $110 billion across contracts, grants, and leases on its online "Wall of Receipts") were largely unverifiable, lacked supporting evidence, or took credit for actions already underway.

The GAO said, among other examples, DOGE took credit for savings from leases that were being terminated before its work began, and DOGE made unverifiable claims of billions in savings.

The GAO noted that thousands of contracts DOGE claimed to have canceled were never actually terminated, and certain lease savings were significantly inflated.

A separate September 2026 GAO report revealed that the administration spent roughly $9.5 billion on paid administrative leave in 2025—with about $6.7 billion tied directly to the federal deferred resignation program intended to shrink the workforce.

Columbia Univ. Prof. Jeff Sachs on Trump's 35-person cabinet - “Not one of them is trained in technical skills. Not one research PhD, as opposed to China, where half the cabinet is science and technology PhDs. We're led by grifters and fools."

Update for clarity and specificity:" No US cabinet member has advanced training (master’s or PhD) in a climate-related field. The closest is a single master’s in electrical engineering. It is perhaps no wonder that President Donald Trump declares human-induced climate change to be a “hoax.” There is no cabinet minister to indicate otherwise. Of course, the more likely logic is the reverse. Trump seeks to avoid the climate issue for ideological reasons and the preferences of lobbyists and donors, so he has filled his cabinet with individuals that have no advanced training in climate-related fields." source

after the January 2026 purchase, the Palm Beach Clerk's office described the $1 billion position as the “most significant investment in Israel bonds of any investor in the world.” Contemporary reporting likewise describes Palm Beach as the world's largest local-government investor in Israel bonds.
