Happy Friday, folks! A new poll found that 84% of Americans support requiring photo ID to vote - nearly the entire country!

So why does Kamala Harris oppose it? She claims minority voters are less likely to have ID — which sounds like a kinda racist assumption if you ask me.

What do you think? Vote below, and I’ll share the results on Monday.

• 🆚 2024 polling average: Trump 48.5%, Harris 48.8%

• 🗳️ Over 31 million early votes have been cast

• 🤡 Beyonce will perform at Kamala's Houston rally today

• ✅ 88% of voters want improved border security

• 📣 Americans rank Free Speech as #2 issue they find 'very important'

Illegal immigration cost $150 billion in 2023

Illegal aliens cost American taxpayers over $150 billion in 2023, according to a new report.

The details: The report, conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), found that federal, state, and local governments spent $182 billion on services for illegal aliens in 2023, like education, law enforcement, and medical services.

• That is only offset by the $32 billion in tax revenue the illegals generate.

• This leaves U.S. taxpayers on the hook for the remaining $150 billion.

For perspective, $150 billion is more than twice the Department of Homeland Security’s annual budget.

Zoom out: Jodey Arrington, Chairman of the House Budget Committee, says the $150 billion figure is a “conservative estimate.”

The impact: According to FAIR, the Biden-Harris regime spent $67 billion, and the remaining funds were paid by state and local governments, leading to major cutbacks in services to American residents. For example:

• Denver had to slash $45 million from its budget, including $8.4 million for police and $2.5 million for fire services, to cover the $90 million it earmarked for illegal alien support.

• NYC has had to spend $2.3 billion on providing services to the 210,000 illegals who have settled there since 2022.

What do Americans think? A recent poll found that 54% support mass deportation of illegal aliens - an idea that was taboo just a few years ago.

Big picture: Kamala Harris recently told Telemundo that she supports a “pathway to citizenship” for the millions of illegal aliens currently in the country.

Puberty blockers show no benefit to trans kids; author hides results

A prominent U.S. doctor hid the results of her taxpayer-funded study on the effects of puberty blockers on children after the results showed they had no positive effect on patients’ mental health.

The background: The study was conducted by Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, who runs the largest youth gender clinic in the country. It was done with $10 million in federal taxpayer dollars.

The study: Beginning in 2015, Olson-Kennedy monitored 95 kids taking puberty blockers, whose average age was 11. Her study followed the children for two years of treatment, and when it concluded, she found no improvement in their mental state.

The cover-up: For years, Olson-Kennedy refused to release the results, claiming it would be "weaponized" by critics of transgender procedures for kids, and feared it would one day be used in court to argue “we shouldn’t use blockers.”

• One of Olsen-Kennedy’s fellow researchers on the study slammed her decision, saying it defies research standards and deprives the public of “really important” science.

What are puberty blockers? They suppress the release of sex hormones. They can negatively affect bone density, cause infertility, and more.

Real talk from G: You and I paid for this study with our tax dollars. It is criminal that a woman who is clearly conflicted was put in a position to hide this from the public for so long.
