1. 62 corporate landlords who have received taxpayer bailouts intended to blunt the economic impact of the pandemic are pursuing evictions despite a federal moratorium, a Popular Information investigation reveals

popular.info/p/these-62-lan…
2. These 62 corporate landlords have received more than $60 million in PPP loans.

The CDC's eviction moratorium went into place on September 1.

Since September 1, the 62 corporate landlords have filed at least 494 new eviction cases

popular.info/p/these-62-lan…
3. The corporate landlords are attempting to exploit a weakness in the federal moratorium. It is not self-executing. Tenants must assert their rights. The landlords know that most tenants (90%) don't have lawyers.

4. We've published the full list of all 62 corporate landlords who are engaged in this behavior.

1. Many large media outlets are reporting that Trump "pivoted" his strategy in Minnesota and has "changed course."

This is what the White House WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE

The only problem is it is not true
2. Is Trump ending his immigration crackdown in Minneapolis? No

Is anyone responsible for the operation being held accountable. No

Has Trump acknowledged that these killings were unjustified? Also no

popular.info/p/how-legacy-m…
3. The only thing that is changed is that Trump has replaced Greg Bovino, the Border Patrol commander overseeing the Minneapolis operation, with Tom Homan, his border czar.

The idea that Homan is a force for moderation is a joke.

1. The Trump administration is not conducting its deadly immigration crackdown in Minneapolis alone

Major corporations, including @amazon, @CitizensBank, and @ATT, are enabling — and profiting from — the operation.
@amazon @CitizensBank @ATT 2. @Amazon powers much of the technological infrastructure that the Trump administration uses to target immigrants.

Amazon hosts the ICM database used by ICE which "integrates a vast ecosystem of public and private data to track down immigrants"

3. Hours after Alex Pretti was fatally shot at point-blank ranger, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy attended a screening of "Melania," a documentary about the First Lady, at the White House.

Amazon is paid Melania $40 million for rights to the vanity project and is spending another $35 million to promote itImage

1. After months of denials, the Trump administration has admitted that DOGE staff misused Social Security data.

A DOGE staffer signed a deal to share the data with a “political advocacy group” seeking to “overturn election results"

The identity of the staffer is not disclosed but there are clues
2. Antonio Gracias, a DOGE staffer who was embedded at the SSA, publicly spoke about using Social Security data to “expose” voter fraud. During a March 30 rally alongside Elon Musk, Gracias — a fellow billionaire — made a variety of false and misleading claims.

popular.info/p/doge-staffer…
3. Gracias said that he had compared SSA data with voting records and found that non-citizens were registered to vote and did vote. He claimed he referred these people for prosecution. (There are no known charges or convictions resulting from those alleged referrals.)

1. In 2025, 32 people died in ICE custody.

That figure was the largest in more than two decades and tied for the highest number of deaths among ICE’s detainee population ever.

2026 is only three weeks old, and it’s already shaping up to be much worse.
2. In just 21 days, at least six people have died in ICE custody.

Last year, ICE did not have six in-custody deaths until April 25. The early trends put ICE on pace for 120 in-custody deaths in 2026.

popular.info/p/in-2026-ice-…
3. Several of the deaths, according to advocates, are related to substandard medical care. Popular Information reported on Monday that ICE stopped paying for third-party medical treatment for detainees on October 3, 2025.

1. ICE has STOPPED PAYING for medical treatment for its 73,000 detainees

ICE has not paid its bills to 3rd party providers since OCTOBER and the situation will likely persist for MONTHS, a Popular Information investigation reveals

Meanwhile, critically ill ICE detainees are not receiving care

🧵
2. ICE has not paid any third-party providers for medical care for detainees since October 3, 2025. Last week, ICE posted a notice on an obscure government website announcing it will not begin processing such claims until at least April 30, 2026.

popular.info/p/ice-has-stop…
3. ICE’s failure to pay its bills for months has caused some medical providers to deny services to ICE detainees, an administration source told Popular Information. In other cases, detainees have allegedly been denied essential medical care by ICE.

1. In an interview with the New York Times, Trump claimed that, as a result of the civil rights movement, white men have been "very badly treated" and subjected to "reverse discrimination."

Trump says that white men have been excluded from colleges and jobs.

Here is the TRUTH.
2. In 2024, the data shows, white people represented 40.7% of the applicants but 53% of the enrolled students.

In contrast, Black applicants accounted for 8.7% of the applicant pool but just 5.8% of enrolled students.

popular.info/p/the-truth-ab…
3. Most college applicants are female, so many institutions admit a higher percentage of men to ensure their student population is more evenly divided by gender.

For example, in 2023, Brown University’s acceptance rate was 6.9% for male applicants and 4.2% for female applicants.
