Trump Issues New Rule: Welfare Now A Factor In Approving Immigration Status
The Trump administration will begin considering some immigrants' use of Medicaid, food stamps and housing assistance when deciding whether to approve green card applications.
The new rule reverses a Biden-era policy that largely limited the government's "public charge" review to cash welfare and long-term institutional care.
Immigration officers will now be allowed to weigh an applicant's use of certain public benefits, along with factors like age, health, income, education and work history.
The Department of Homeland Security says the change restores the principle that immigrants should be able to support themselves without relying on taxpayers.
The rule is expected to take effect next week and could affect roughly 588,000 people applying for green cards each year.
Why weren't we doing this before?
Yellowstone officials have decided the fate of the bison that launched a grandfather eight feet into the air.
The bull that seriously injured Carl Isom-McDaniel in last week's viral attack will not be euthanized and will remain in the park. Officials said they are taking "no management action" against the animal, according to TMZ.
The grandfather suffered multiple broken bones that required surgery after the bison charged him.
The shocking encounter, captured by wildlife photographer Mike MacLeod, went viral after the bull tossed Isom-McDaniel into the air before standing over him.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is on the verge of tears and says she can’t be deported because she’s an American citizen.
She can be denaturalized then deported. We have mechanisms to eject foreign villains like Ilhan who don’t belong in the US.
JD Vance: "There is a Christian idea of political economy that's actually been lost in American politics. One of the best interviews that Charlie Kirk ever gave was right before he died, where he talked about the fact that if you don't give young people a stake, if you don't give them ownership, if you don't give them a sense of the American dream, and of possibility in the future, they're going to become socialists."

The USA is conducting the largest logistical operation in its history - a statistical analysis.
This 30-second video shows the US air logistical activity in West Asia over the past seven days alone (accelerated by 20,000 times). At the same time, such activity has been ongoing around the clock for 76 days.
We are talking about the largest airlift in US military history, which surpasses even the operation during the Iraq war in 2003 in its scale. Such a volume of cargo transfers far exceeds the usual replenishment of supplies.
All US strategic warehouses in the region are almost fully loaded and continue to be brought to their maximum capacity.
The US army is not spending billions of dollars on empty threats or demonstrative maneuvers. All this indicates preparation for a preemptive, paralyzing strike and, possibly, the start of a ground operation.
