This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement.
Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

In Bad Law, Elie Mystal argues that our country's laws on immigration, abortion and voting rights don't reflect the will of most Americans, and we'd be better off abolishing them and starting over.

Clearest proof yet that the Trump admin uses "DEI" to mean "nonwhite people doing something impressive and getting credit." Navajo Code Talkers made a big difference in WWII. The Axis had more trouble translating their language than cracking codes. And it's not like the Navajo owed the US anything.

Snopes found that on the whole, the list was inaccurate and unreliable. Many of the companies on the list did primarily support Republican candidates and causes, while others did not. Good and thorough analysis. Too many claims thrown about from various political backgrounds are suspect.
