Sarah Cope doesn't see her mother "as a parasite," but that's what she heard MAGA billionaire Elon Musk call her. On 12 Feb, Musk reposted on social media a meme of a smiling woman with the caption: "Watching Trump slash federal programs knowing it doesn't affect you because you're not a member of the Parasite Class." Cope's mother, Linda Davis, spent most of her life working in a factory to take care of her three children and her ailing husband, who died when Cope, their youngest, was 15. When Davis was 90 and had experienced ten years with dementia, her children determined that she needed a skilled nursing facility to care for her. Medicare wouldn't cover the costs. Davis only receives $150 from a pension, and her Social Security check is nowhere near the $12,000-a-month cost to move into her nursing home in Harnett County, where she lived most of her life. That's why the Davis siblings turned to Medicaid. read more

Nearly one in three federal student loan borrowers are at risk of defaulting on payments as early as July, as delinquency and default rates soar in the wake of pandemic-era repayment relief ending. About 5.8 million federal student loan borrowers were 90 days or more past due on their payments as of April 2025, representing the highest delinquency rate ever recorded. "With over 200 million credit-active consumers in the US, the 5.8 million affected borrowers make up only a small percentage," reported TransUnion. Borrowers fall into default once they are 270 days past due. Nearly two million borrowers could reach default status in July, making them subject to wage garnishment and other collection actions by the US Department of Education. Another one million are expected to default in August, followed by two million more in September. This sharp rise in delinquency comes less than two months after the education department resumed collections on defaulted federal loans. read more


Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump's powerful deputy chief of staff and homeland security advisor, is more than just the architect of the administration's hardline immigration policies: He has a personal financial stake in them. Miller disclosed from $100,001 up to a quarter million dollars of stock in Palantir, a tech company woven into the operations of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and used by other federal agencies such as the Pentagon. read more
