President Donald Trump has promised to send $5,000 checks to every adult U.S. citizen if Republicans control both the House and Senate after the midterm elections. One proposed way to pay for these checks is by charging wealthy foreigners $5 million each to join a new visa program called the Trump Platinum Card, which would let them live in the U.S. for up to 270 days a year without paying U.S. tax on income earned outside the country.
Key Facts
President Trump wants to give $5,000 checks to all adult U.S. citizens if Republicans keep control of Congress.
The estimated cost for these payments is about $1.23 trillion.
The Trump administration proposes funding part of this by selling Trump Platinum Cards to wealthy foreign nationals.
Each Platinum Card would cost $15,000 in fees plus a $5 million payment to the U.S. government.
The card allows holders to stay in the U.S. for up to 270 days per year and avoids U.S. tax on income earned outside the country.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said over 100,000 people are on the waiting list for the Platinum Card, which could raise $500 billion.
Raising the full amount from these cards alone would require about 246,000 wealthy foreigners to pay $5 million each.
The Platinum Card program has not yet launched and the waiting list does not guarantee revenue.

Anthony Scaramucci recounts his brief time working in the White House under President Trump in 2017. He was appointed communications director but faced strong opposition from senior staff members Reince Priebus and Steve Bannon, which led to conflicts and his quick exit.
Key Facts
In January 2017, President Trump offered Scaramucci a job as director of the Office of Public Liaison, but Reince Priebus and Steve Bannon blocked this appointment.

Despite knowing how to prevent silicosis, many workers including coal miners and countertop fabrication workers are still getting sick and dying from the disease. New safety rules to reduce silica dust exposure were introduced but faced legal challenges from industry groups, and regulators have not fully enforced these protections.
Key Facts
Silicosis is a lung disease caused by breathing in tiny silica dust particles at work.
Coal miners in central Appalachia are developing black lung disease at younger ages than before.
Countertop workers who grind or cut stone are also getting silicosis.
New rules from the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) in 2024 lowered the allowed silica dust exposure limit.
