The S&P 500 slumped more than 2 percent for the first time in six months, rattling investors after a long stretch of gains.

What's the worst that could happen? 🙄

Donald Trump just got a COVID booster at Walter Reed, per the White House physician.

Let’s be clear this is the same guy who downplayed the virus, mocked masks, and turned lifesaving vaccines into a political wedge that cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

Are American citizens being disappeared? Yes.

Are American citizens who are veterans of the US Armed Forces being disappeared? Yes.

Without warrant or probable cause—solely based on skin color—Trump goons captured and caged a citizen veteran for days.

This is a fascist regime.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

The cost of homeowners and auto insurance in FL is insane, but Republicans are always laser focused on the important distractions from all that stuff.

Guess who just got both the updated COVID vaccine and flu shots today? Your dear Leader Trump. Maybe you should get them too.

Imagine being "America first" but allowing Qatar to build a military base on American soil in Idaho.
Guess all you need to occupy US soil is to give a plane to donald. This is the dumbest most irresponsible shit ever. This must be reversed in 2028.
