Never forget that time Matt Gaetz was the solitary no vote against a law designed to combat human trafficking in 2017

GM just announced a round of layoffs, impacting 1,000 workers. But the company reported Q3 earnings that put it on track for record profits this year. Its CEO received $27M in compensation in 2023. And GM announced $6B in stock buybacks this June. Textbook corporate greed.

Amon-Ra St. Brown told me the #Lions installed the fake stumble TD pass play THIS wk. DET called it earlier in the game but didn’t get the look they wanted, so they waited. Right before LaPorta scored, St. Brown heard the crowd groan, and he KNEW it was done perfectly #OnePride
