Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic.

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

When the U.S. commits war crimes, acts of war, and meddles in the internal affairs of other countries, it jeopardizes our national security because it invites retaliation and sets precedence for others to follow suit.
