So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Every single time I donated to ActBlue last year, I doubled my contribution thinking, ‘I don’t want to look back and feel like I didn’t do enough.’

So unemployment is about to shoot through the roof. The stock market is about to crash. Food and gas prices are skyrocketing.
