What’s remarkable is that there’s hardly any real news driving this. It’s just investors belatedly realizing that Trump is who he is, and always was.

Ever wonder what happens to all of the snow that’s plowed to ensure car drivers have clear streets?
It gets piled at corners/bus stops/ crosswalks for people who 🚶🏻/🦼/🦽/🚌 to contend with.
Not great. Let’s #PlowMPLSsidewalks
(Don’t worry, I walked my bike over these piles, didn’t ride it.)

The jets will find every way to sabotage themselves.
As the Jets search for a new quarterback, 2024 fifth-rounder Jordan Travis is an option. However, his agent recently said Travis suffered a "setback" last year because the Jets "tried to rush" his rehab from a broken and dislocated ankle in November 2023.

Yes. This is the truth. the fastest I’ve ever seen anything happen with the govt is when my grandma was contacted by social security within days of my grandfather’s passing last April.
All this business I am reading about social security is nonsense. My mom died on 2/18. My dad got a letter yesterday informing him her benefits were ending and he had to repay the February payment because they don’t give a payment in the month someone dies. They know where every dollar is.
