Crime is down overall. Way down. And undocumented immigrants aren’t committing crimes anywhere near the rate of U.S. citizens anyway.

Because facts matter despite what propaganda machines tell you.

“Trump's anecdotal accounts do not acknowledge the fact that U.S. citizens commit crimes at higher rates than undocumented immigrants.”

No, migrants are not driving a surge in violent crime as Trump claims -

America’s religious landscape is undergoing transformational changes, according to a new national survey released today by PRRI.

The only major religious category experiencing widespread growth today is the religiously unaffiliated – and these folks report that they're NOT looking for a new religious home. Around a fourth of Americans identify as religiously unaffiliated in 2023, a 5 percentage point increase from 2013.

The story about NBC this morning is NOT that they now say the insurrectionist they hired, former RNC Chairman Ronna McDaniel, is not going to appear on their cable network.

The story about NBC this morning IS that the insurrectionist they hired has now appeared on their flagship Sunday news program and is using the network to spout revisionist disinformation to the American public.
