The regime deported an Army veteran.
Godfrey Wade has been deported to Jamaica.
He’s a US Army veteran who served for 8 years.
He won multiple awards.
He showed up for America, and America showed him the door.
This is not how you honour a veteran’s sacrifice.
It’s shameful.

Meta just sent $65 MILLION to two pro-tech super PACs.
All those tax breaks we're giving corporations?
They're not using them to create jobs, give back to society, or lower costs.
They're using them to buy politicians who will keep cutting their taxes and making them richer.

Reporter: We're absolutely seeing cracks in the labor market. The number of job openings really fell a lot in December. Companies are not hiring much, and they might be kind of increasing the rate of layoffs. That's a terrible combination.
