Ah, so that’s what “Liberation Day” was all about … collectively liberating all of us from our retirement savings since pensions don’t exist anymore and we’ve been forced into 401(k)s for the last 40 years
Sooooooo much winning. I can barely take it. 🙄

A wide-ranging leading man who earned critical praise, he was known to be charismatic but unpredictable. At one point he dropped out of Hollywood for a decade.

This is not efficiency. This is not making ANYTHING "great" again. This is the blatant destruction of vital, lifesaving services solely in the name of making some billionaire that much richer through privatization. Obsessively hoarding money is a mental illness. www.axios.com/2025/04/01/n...

MEN,
If your response to women speaking out about sexism is “not all men,” congratulations. You have identified yourself as part of the problem.

Imagine explaining to people in the 1980s that 40 years later the USA would be doing Russia's bidding whilst Europe fought alone.
Imagine then explaining it was a Republican president that threw Europe to the wolves.
Unimaginable.
