The world's collective conscience should be screaming in response to their plight, but instead, it seems to have grown numb and apathetic. The situation is dire, with famine stalking the population and the threat of an even more catastrophic escalation on the horizon. Two months ago, Israel's decision to block all aid from entering Gaza set a...
In an electrifying move, the southern tip of Texas has officially become a city called Starbase, courtesy of Elon Musk's vision and the approval of local residents. This remarkable feat marks a significant milestone not only for SpaceX but also for private urban development in general.

However, legal experts warn that the president's public declaration may have unintended consequences, ultimately undermining any potential action by the IRS. The Constitution prohibits government...
President Trump has long promised to "make America affordable again." However, his administration's latest budget plan threatens to undermine this goal by significantly reducing the federal rental aid that helps millions of Americans stay housed. The proposed cuts would shrink the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) budget by about 40%, with a focus on ending Section 8 and other housing voucher programs.
