Republicans’ budget bill earmarks a staggering $45 billion for immigrant detention centers. The biggest beneficiaries? Private prison companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group – who both donated hefty sums to Trump’s inauguration. Always follow the money.

Trump repeatedly promised to end the Russia-Ukraine war “before I even arrive at the Oval Office,”. But now, he’s backpedaled, with no plan or progress. He clearly lacks the competence to grasp how complex global conflicts really are. Diplomacy isn’t bravado—real peace takes more than empty boasts
