Obscure disaster-response firms have been angling to profit from the president’s mass deportation plans since before his reelection.

Sounds like a lot of people quit rather than do this:

Disaster relief tends to attract a certain kind of person. Detention work attracts another. Bloomberg Businessweek spoke with multiple people who left disaster-relief companies when they saw the turn they were taking. They asked not to be identified because they signed nondisclosure agreements or fear retaliation. “The idea that we were going to pack these people in cages,” says one. “I couldn’t do it.” Another says they “didn’t want to be designing the systems for internment camps.”

In June, Rep. Eric Burlison, a Missouri Republican serving on the House Oversight Committee, appeared on BlazeTV’s Prime Time with Alex Stein, where he discussed his belief that giants once existed. Burlison told Stein he was scheduled to be at “NephCon 2025,” a conference focused on fringe topics including the biblical Nephilim —figures in Genesis that some interpret as the giant offspring of angels and human women.

He credited Timothy Alberino’s podcast with sending him “far down the rabbit hole,” eventually reaching claims that the Smithsonian Institution is hiding evidence, the bones of past giants that lived on the Earth. Burlison suggested that, as a member of the Oversight Committee, he could investigate the Smithsonian.

An Arizona federal court issued extensive sanctions against attorney Maren Bam on August 14, 2025, after finding that her brief contained multiple artificial intelligence-generated citations to non-existent cases.

Americans are moving at record-low rates, with only 7.8% relocating in 2023, the lowest since 1948. Families are stuck in homes that are too small or no longer suitable due to high mortgage rates, limited inventory, and skyrocketing prices. Those who have low-rate mortgages are reluctant to sell.

Workers are less likely to switch jobs or relocate for work than in previous decades. Recent grads face long, difficult job searches, often turning down offers due to low pay or lack of relocation support. Many are choosing to stay local, even if it means settling for less.

Employees with low mortgage rates, stock options, or bonus plans are staying put to avoid losing financial perks. Dual-income households and family obligations further reduce mobility.
