The Trump Gold Card: A New $1 Million Pathway To A U.S. Green Card - Above the Law

In September 2025, the Trump administration unveiled a bold and controversial proposal to create a new pathway to U.S. permanent residency-one that centers not on skills or jobs created, but on wealth. The initiative, known as the "Trump Gold Card," aims to offer foreign nationals the opportunity to obtain a green card in exchange for a $1 million "gift" to the U.S. government. If the gift comes from a sponsoring business entity, the amount rises to $2 million.

US airlines told to ignore 'X' gender-neutral markers as passport battle continues

The new US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) policy has been issued to comply with president Donald Trump's "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government" executive order, which directed airlines to disregard the "X" marker and ask for either "M" or "F" instead. The "X" non-binary marker was introduced in 2022, during Joe Biden's presidency, but has since been suspended for anyone applying for a new passport.

JD Vance values TikTok the same as Snapchat's parent, and Wall Street loses its mind. 'This is crazy' | Fortune

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday, clearing the way for a deal to put TikTok in U.S. hands following a divestiture by its Chinese parent ByteDance. That avoids a total shutdown of the app in the U.S. that was required by law unless TikTok shed its China-based owner. Speaking as the president signed the executive order in the Oval Office, Vance pegged TikTok's worth at $14 billion-equal to Snapchat parent Snap.

Trump's Department of War' Name Change Plan Hits Major Snag in GOP-Led House Committee

President Donald Trump's effort to rebrand the Department of Defense into the Department of War hit a major snag Tuesday when the GOP-controlled House Rules Committee rejected an amendment that would have codified the name change into law. The proposed name change has been controversial, both for the multi-billion dollar expense and the massive administrative undertaking redesigning and relabeling seals, uniforms, stationery, logos, signage, insignia, and other graphics throughout the more than 700,000 DOD facilities throughout the U.S. and around the world.
