2025/05/07

Imagine one government brain tracking your Social Security, tax returns, disability status — even your medical diagnoses. Well, that's exactly what DOGE — the Department of Government Efficiency — under Elon Musk's leadership is racing to build, and it's being sold as modernization. But critics call it a digital dragnet. DOGE is pulling private data across federal agencies, often bypassing traditional security protocols, and civil rights experts warn it's a hacker's dream and a democracy's

Ban First, Ask Questions Never

2025/05/07

The Supreme Court has given the Trump administration the green light to start enforcing a ban on transgender Americans serving in the military. Again, with no explanation, the conservative majority halted a lower court's injunction that had blocked the ban, allowing Trump's new Department of Defense rules to take effect immediately. The policy bars anyone diagnosed with or even showing signs of gender dysphoria from serving — and that includes thousands already in uniform. Think about that. People

Black Teens Push Back on Stay-at-Home Parenting

2025/05/07

(AURN News) — A recent survey from the Pew Research Center finds that most American teens believe children can thrive even when both parents work — and Black teens are by far the most likely to say so. Among U.S. teens ages 13 to 17, 57% say children are just as well off when both parents have jobs. But when broken down by race, 77% of Black teens hold that view — the highest among all racial groups surveyed. Only 22% of Black teens say children are better off when one parent stays home to focus on

The administration is negotiating with countries such as El Salvador — and now Rwanda — to house U.S. detainees abroad, including people with American citizenship. Right now, Rwanda is considering using dorms funded by British taxpayers to house migrants deported by the U.S. In El Salvador, the administration

In a new interview with MSNBC's Kristen Welker, President Donald Trump raised eyebrows — and constitutional alarms. When asked if undocumented immigrants deserve due process, Trump responded, "I don't know" — not yes or no, but "I don't know." That's the Fifth Amendment he's talking about. He also refused to commit to following a unanimous Supreme Court ruling. When pressed about possibly seeking a third term — despite the Constitution's clear two-term limit — Trump again said, "I don't know." On
