Brilliant ad by, of all advertisers, Ontario, Canada. Forcing Republicans to decide if they really love Ronald Reagan all that much.

Ontario launches $75 million ad campaign using the words of Ronald Reagan to argue against tariffs.

This is outrageous. What ICE is doing is ILLEGAL. Every individual has a right to proper due process. The due process clauses in the 5th and 14th Amendments of our U.S. Constitution protects every person within U.S. borders, regardless of immigration status. (1/4)

Hello no! I closed all my WF after the BS they pulled with opening accounts without permission. When I did, the employees at the bank didn't even try to save the business. They just closed them right out. They know they are corrupt. #wellsfargo

Real estate investors now own about 20% of single-family homes in the country.

A big reason why home prices have skyrocketed in recent years is a lack of supply — and investors sinking their teeth into whatever is left on the market is making the problem even worse.

That economy is just doing GREAT!

House foreclosures just spiked 17% last quarter as borrower distress rises

US foreclosure filings rose to over 101,000 last quarter. Inflation, a slowing job market, and high costs of homeownership have weighed on borrowers.

I’m voting yes as well! We can’t sit on our ass while democracy moves toward oligarchy through a one-party power grab. This temporary redistricting is an important step to protect the people’s voice, OUR voice!

It’s unfortunate, but they’ll never walk it back or apologize. They’ve been given the green light to run with it, and if they repeat the lie enough, it eventually becomes accepted as the truth

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

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

Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.
