Trump ‘doesn’t realize’ he ‘just handed’ Dems a superweapon: expert

President Donald Trump scored a major victory Thursday after the Supreme Court cleared the way for his administration to potentially expedite the deportation of 1.3 million migrants, but the win could very well end up handing Democrats the key to winning the midterms, one security expert argued Friday.

'Vile': Megyn Kelly's rant denounced as 'shockingly racist'

Right-wing podcaster Megyn Kelly was denounced as "shockingly racist" for a rant celebrating a Supreme Court ruling against Haitian refugees.

Trump’s big immigration bet backfires spectacularly: ‘The damage is easy to miss’

One of President Donald Trump’s key promises has been that, by deporting millions of migrants, new jobs would become available to American citizens, but according to a recent study, the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown has largely had the opposite effect.
