AT&T is worth $200 billion, and they can't figure out how to set up web fonts or even look at their own site to see it looks like shit.
This looks so bad because they're taking a bold font, insisting to browsers the weight is 'normal', then adding bold, which adds hideous faux bold.

The tariffs imposed by Trump have increased the cost of 45% of U.S. imports.
This represents a massive blow to the country’s economy.

Mexico is Texas' largest trading partner.
Trump's 25% tariffs aren't just going to raise prices - they're going to put Texans out of business.
Many Texas truck operators, warehousing companies, car dealers, and more won't survive this tax hike.

This is absolutely crucial advice. Read it. Read it again. Repeat it to yourself. Do not allow yourself to be overloaded. OVERLOAD IS A DELIBERATE TACTIC.

This is being built in Guantanamo instead of the US proper for the same reason that Nazi extermination camps weren’t built in Germany proper.
Trump announces an executive order authorizing a 30,000 capacity migrant detention center in Guantanamo.
"Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guatanamo Bay."
