Trump immigration raids snag U.S. citizens, including Native Americans, raising racial profiling fears

According to President Donald Trump's campaign pledge to carry out mass deportations from day one, American citizens, including those of Native tribe countries, have been dragged into the massive immigration operations he ordered. Witnesses claim that those who are apprehended during Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations are singled out due to their race or skin tone. Tribal people living off-reservation called the Navajo Nation Office in droves, many of whom claimed that ICE officers had asked them who they were, according to Native News Online. ICE's questioning of American citizens who belong to the Navajo Nation has been so bad that Navajo President Buu Nygren addressed the issue on the radio. According to Native News Online, Nygren told the tribal radio station KTNN that he h...

Over 3 million Social Security Fairness Act beneficiaries may wait more than a year for higher payments, agency says

The Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset, two provisions that previously decreased Social Security benefits for some beneficiaries who also had pension income from employment where they did not contribute Social Security payroll taxes, are eliminated by the Soci...

Should you use fluoride-free toothpaste? Dentists explain

Even while we don't always know the answers, we have some individuals on speed dial who do, which is why we have experts explain things like whether lip balm is bad and how often to wash your hair. I speak with dentists at least once or twice a week because I have been reporting on oral health for five years. Whatever we're talking about, fluoride always comes up. The substance, which is most frequently found in toothpaste, has extraordinary cavity-fighting properties. According to Dr. Lisa Creaven, a dentist and co-founder of Made By Dentists, it is one of the few chemicals that has ever been shown to effectively prevent cavities, which is why it is so crucial in dentistry.(Ed's note: Creaven had no influence over the inclusion of Made By Dentists products in this article.)
