Donald Trump has made 28,700 stock trades.
He's made money on over 97% of them.
Nah, no insider trading at all. He's just a "stable genius", right?

Her Death Was Avoidable
Tierra Walker begged doctors for an abortion as she deteriorated.
Over 100 doctors in Texas treated her. Not one mentioned the lifesaving treatment she needed.
Her 14-year-old son cried, screaming "I need you!"
She Died Anyway.

KAEPERNICK: The part that I hope people take away in this moment is what Robert Kraft and what they’re saying by denying Macklemore is they are openly colluding.
They also want people to know that if you take an action that they don’t agree with, they will come for you.

Let’s appreciate Rep. Joyce Beatty for being the fighter we need.
Trump: “I think you’re incompetent.”
Beatty: “I know you’re incompetent.”
Then she reminded him: “You had more bankruptcies than anybody in the room.” 🔥

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton
The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”
