Congress will decide in the coming weeks whether to approve a $1 trillion military budget for 2026.

Money is policy. Should Congress approve such a historic sum, it would not only enable many of Trump’s dangerous and unjust policies — including military occupations of US cities and rushing toward wars in Mexico, Nigeria, and Venezuela — it would also trigger a historic redistribution of wealth from the public to private arms companies and their shareholders.

For more than two decades, the Department of Veterans Affairs played a limited but essential role in ensuring that people in the custody of ICE received necessary medical care.

But then, according to previously unreported ICE documents, the VA “abruptly and instantly terminated” its agreement with ICE on October 3.

According to the partially redacted documents, which were quietly posted to a government contracting website on November 12, the termination left ICE with “no mechanism to provide prescribed medication” and unable to “pay for medically necessary off-site care.”

An abrupt decision on October 3 left thousands of ICE detainees without access to vital medical care — a crisis that is ongoing.

President Trump is in the process of sending millions of dollars in taxpayer money directly to his political allies — and himself.

One of the biggest beneficiaries may be Michael Flynn, Trump’s first national security advisor.

By all appearances, as a reward for his loyalty, the Trump administration is poised to pay Flynn millions of taxpayer dollars to resolve a case that, at present, he cannot even convince a court to consider on the merits.

On July 12, 2019, shortly after Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest on federal s*x trafficking charges, Trump was asked by a reporter if he suspected Epstein was s*xually abusing underage girls. Trump said he “had no idea.”

On July 31, 2025, Trump was asked if he knew why Epstein had been “taking“ young women who were employed at Trump’s spa at Mar-a-Lago. Trump again denied knowledge of Epstein’s activities. “No, I didn’t know,” Trump said.

But on Wednesday, the House Oversight Committee released emails, obtained from Epstein’s estate, that directly contradict Trump’s denials. In a January 31, 2019, email to journalist Michael Wolff, Epstein wrote that Trump “of course… knew about the girls.”

Last month, Tucker Carlson hosted Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist, antisemite, and misogynist, on his popular podcast. On Monday, Popular Information revealed that several prominent companies are continuing to sponsor Carlson’s show.

One of Carlson’s major sponsors was Rocket Money. Carlson promoted a special URL, rocketmoney.com/TUCKER, where his viewers could sign up for the service. As of November 9, the special URL redirected to the Rocket Money website.

But after the publication of Popular Information’s report on November 10, the URL is no longer functioning. Further, Carlson initially promoted the Rocket Money URL, along with other sponsors, in the YouTube notes for his November 3 show. The Rocket Money URL has been removed.

There is a housing crisis in the U.S. In 1985, the median income was $23,620, and the median price of a home was $84,300. By 2023, the median price of a home was $428,600, which was 5.3 times the median income of $80,061.

Over the weekend, President Trump teased a new policy on social media to address the issue: a 50-year mortgage.

But while the introduction of a 50-year mortgage would be a windfall to the financial industry, it would do little to make housing more affordable and saddle a generation of Americans with a lifetime of debt.

Nick Fuentes is a white supremacist, antisemite, and misogynist. Fuentes advocates for racial segregation, praises Hi**er, and argues that women should not be allowed to vote.

On October 27, Tucker Carlson interviewed Fuentes on Carlson’s podcast. During the interview, where Fuentes criticized the “organized Jewry” for dividing America and said he was a “fan” of Stalin, Carlson did not challenge Fuentes’ views.

Carlson’s interview with Fuentes drew widespread condemnation, including from figures on the political right. Yet, three prominent companies, Rocket Money, Eight Sleep, and Beam, have all sponsored Carlson’s podcast after the Fuentes interview.

On X, Vice President J.D. Vance dismissed the poor showing by Republicans on Tuesday night as “a couple of elections in blue states.”

Although Democratic victories in New York, Virginia, New Jersey, and California dominated the headlines, significant contests were held across the nation.

In purple states like Pennsylvania and Georgia, and deep red states like Texas and Mississippi, voters rejected the MAGA agenda. Here are six results from the 2025 elections that flew under the radar.

On September 23, Adelita Grijalva won a special election to represent Arizona in the House of Representatives in a landslide, collecting 69% of the vote. Forty-three days later, House Speaker Mike Johnson has not sworn in Grijalva.

Johnson’s obstruction has prevented Grijalva from providing the decisive signature on a discharge petition that would force a House vote on the public release of the Epstein files.

The failure to swear in Grijalva is unprecedented. A Popular Information analysis of the 59 other House special elections since 2015 reveals that the average time between winning an election and being sworn in is less than 11 days. The current 43-day delay is already eight days longer than the previous record.

Earlier this year, Popular Information broke the news that Extremity Care – a company that sells bandages to Medicare – donated $5 million to MAGA Inc., Trump’s super PAC, on February 24. Six days later, Trump blasted a pending Biden administration rule that would have barred Medicare from covering Extremity Care’s products.

On April 11, 40 days after Trump’s post, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced the rule would be delayed until at least January 1, 2026.

As that deadline approaches, Extremity Care has secretly donated $2.5 million toward the construction of a new White House ballroom, a top priority for Trump. According to The New York Times, the company was permitted to donate anonymously.

Last week, the Federal Communications Commission voted to allow prison telecommunication companies to charge incarcerated people up to 83% more for phone calls.

Staying connected to family through phone calls and visitation has been shown to decrease the likelihood that a person will commit another crime when they are released from prison.

Before the 2024 rate caps were implemented, inmates reported having to choose between paying for phone calls or other essential goods, like personal hygiene products and shoes.
