Trump admin accidentally sent Maryland father to Salvadorian mega-prison and says it can’t get him back

SEC continuing $150 million lawsuit against Elon Musk over Twitter purchase

“The Trump administration acknowledged in a court filing Monday that it had grabbed a Maryland father with protected legal status and mistakenly deported him to El Salvador, but said that U.S. courts lack jurisdiction to order his return from the megaprison where he’s now locked up.”

Trump to announce new 20% tariffs this week on every single US trading partner, not just the initial group of 10-15 countries prev. stated

What industries will this impact the most? Previous tariffs announcements have been easy to understand what industries it will impact (for example auto tariffs, wine tariffs, etc.). What would a sweeping 20% tariff on virtually every single US trading partner mean for investing?

Will it lead to lower consumer demand in an already weak US consumer?

Will it lead to higher profits for US based companies? Don't most US companies manufacturer outside of the US, so their operating costs/COGS will increase?

Is anyone still buying SP500 ETFs, or have people begun to sell? Not sure what to do with my portfolio, or if I should dollar cost average buy vs. sell. If anyone can share how they are navigating this uncertainty - leaving the market completely or riding it out.

Josh Hawley wants to make it illegal to be an atheist

We all know who this motherfucker is. These arguments (much like Rick Santorum’s back in the day) are based on the lie that the United States is a Christian nation.

That is a flat out lie.

The United States was established as a secular nation. That was done for a couple of reasons. First, King George of England, who was also the head of the Anglican Church, used that church to spy on colonialists during the revolutionary war. Also, the founders were very aware of the destruction caused by the religious wars of Europe, including the 30 years war and the inquisition. The inquisition is very important to remember in this instance, because the inquisition prosecuted thought crimes. Simply put, it was illegal to think you could be any other religion besides Catholic.

Thought crimes are blatantly unamerican. And yet, this allegedly closeted gay Republican senator wants to bend the freedom from religion clause to fit his political agenda of subservience upon the American people. I got two words for Josh: FUCK YOU.
