The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.

"Dow 50,000" Sound Nice. Until Justin Wolfers Shows You That U.S. Markets Are Coming 21st Out of 23.
What does “Dow 50,000” actually tell you—anything about the economy, or just that a number got bigger?

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

The SAVE Act is an election power grab that could block millions of eligible voters.
Let’s be clear: we’ve already seen U.S. citizens detained by ICE despite having proof of citizenship. Now we’re supposed to trust this same government to police paperwork at the ballot box? tinyurl.com/yhwj7b77

“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes.
The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

What Pam Bondi did in that hearing wasn’t just disrespect. It was the clearest sign yet of how far the guardrails have eroded. When the people’s lawyer acts like the public is the problem, something is deeply broken.

Donald John Trump is a rapist, a pedophile, a kidnapper, an extortionist, a grifter, a thief, and a Murderer.
I really don't think there is any reasonable doubt about any of those things at this time.
