Dismantling USAID, disbanding cybercrimes & Russian influence investigations, trashing foreign alliances: all top of mind for a *Russian* policy wishlist.
Making us poorer, sicker & dumber also appreciated.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

When I was pregnant, I tried to eat well, stay healthy & protect myself from undue stress because the baby could be affected.
For this reason, ICE had a long time policy not to detain pregnant people.
But now they are detaining them, brutalizing them & denying medical attention.
