Trump brags about stock market up this year. It’s true the S&P 500 is up 16% this year. But what was it up last year under Biden? 25%. And in 2023 under Biden it was up 26%. Trump’s tariffs and chaos absolutely hurt the stock market returns.

Lies. China bought $1.4 billion in soybeans from Illinois alone last year.
This year, due to Trump's policies, the U.S. is projected its lowest soybean exports to China since 2018—when Trump was also President.

Vaccines aren’t the only near-miraculous medical intervention some Americans are turning their backs on. New research out today finds that more newborns are not receiving a safe supplement that protects them from serious bleeding.
More Parents Are Refusing Vitamin K for Their Newborns. Here's Why That's a Bad Idea
For around 60 years, doctors have routinely given infants a vitamin K shot to prevent uncontrolled bleeding.
