The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.
So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.

"Dow 50,000" Sound Nice. Until Justin Wolfers Shows You That U.S. Markets Are Coming 21st Out of 23.
What does “Dow 50,000” actually tell you—anything about the economy, or just that a number got bigger?

You report to the immigration court for your final hearing. There is ICE, waiting to snag you before you can go in. Now you are an illegal immigrant, with no DUE PROCESS & thrown in a cage in a detention camp.

US Politicians are very happy to keep framing the Epstein files as partisan. Because it shifts the focus from the real issue.
This was never about politics. It’s about mainly rich, white, powerful men believing they could do whatever the hell they wanted and get away with it.

Ah, the joys of MFA. I set up a passkey on my laptop for an airline website and now I can't log into the app because I can't set up another passkey on my phone. And there's no way to fix it without contacting the airline and waiting 3 days. Good thing I didn't only realise at the airport.

That said, killing off some of these elitist institutions would be a good thing for democracy. Others, not so much.
