I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.
And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

The Nasdaq under Trump is half way to what's euphemistically termed "a correction"--down 10%. One quarter of the way the 20% drop that is a conventional marker of a bear market.
That didn't take long, did it?
Lots of IRAs and 401Ks having a moment; mine definitely included.
