aliens.gov website goes live overnight, and your tax dollars might be funding first contact.
If you woke up to a mysterious new government website called aliens.gov, you’re not alone. Launched without any press release, this portal is already sparking panic about who’s paying for what—and it’s hitting your wallet. Hidden in the fine print is a vague reference to "interagency data-sharing costs," which consumer advocates say could mean millions in new taxpayer fees for servers and translators. Worse, the site asks for your email to "opt-in" to alerts, a classic move to harvest personal data for potential spam or identity theft. Before you click anything, know this: your daily budget could take a hit from unseen administrative surcharges. Protect your cash—don’t subscribe until Congress explains how this is funded.
