From 16,000 to 185 to Zero.
The Trump admin claimed as many as 16,000 noncitizens had been registered to vote in Nevada.
Then DHS came back and said the number was actually 185.
This week, Nevada told the admin every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.

The Orioles have been eliminated from playoff contention after the White Sox win this afternoon.
After leading the American League in wins from 2023 to 2024, the Orioles have missed the playoffs in back-to-back seasons.
Baltimore's last postseason win was 4,372 days ago.

Trump’s net worth hit $7 billion in 2026.
That’s triple where it was in early 2024, according to Forbes data.

Maybe you should follow his business plan and file for bankruptcy! When will you wake up? When you have a for sale sign in the truck window?

President Trump has added more to the national debt than to economic output in his first 17 months in office.
The CBO projects the gap will only widen over the rest of his term.

Native-born labor force participation just hit its lowest August on record.
Despite the admin's claims, deportations are not freeing up jobs for Americans — 600,000 native-born workers have left the labor force in the past year.

Under Biden, America built factories.
Under Trump, it's mostly building data centers.

31% of those arrested by ICE have criminal convictions, down from 50% under Biden.
ICE arrests of migrants with violent criminal convictions are up only 20 per day under Trump.
Arrests of those with no criminal charges are up 332 per day.
The media continues to peddle HOAXES about ‘non-criminal’ arrests.
Many of the individuals the media counts as 'non-criminals' are actually terrorists, human rights abusers, and foreign fugitives who just don't have a rap sheet in the U.S.
Over 70% of illegal aliens ICE arrested across the country have criminal convictions in our nation — and they ALL committed a crime when they came into the U.S. illegally.

Under Biden, wages at the bottom of the distribution outpaced those at the top.
Under Trump, wage growth has declined across the board, and the highest-paid are seeing bigger gains than the lowest.

The Orioles lose 3-1 to the Rays.
They survived this 10-game stretch against the AL's two best teams, going 5-5 against New York and Tampa Bay.
Baltimore is 63-68 and temporarily 1.5 games back of a wild-card spot.

Workers' share of GDP is at its lowest point on record whereas the corporate share is near record highs.
This dynamic may exacerbate as Trump's fiscal policies disproportionately benefit corporations and the wealthy.

After the pandemic, real wages grew strongly across the board — and pay rose faster at the bottom and middle than at the top, by the widest margin on record.
Under Trump, real wage growth has cratered, and the lowest-paid have fallen furthest behind.

This morning's jobs report was shockingly negative.
Not only did the economy lose 23,000 jobs in July — the previous estimates for May and June were revised down by 103,000.
These numbers are a major red flag indicating the labor market is weaker than previously thought.
