BREAKING: AOC raises alarm over potential insider trading linked to a Trump White House connection—citing the timing of the NRCC event just before Trump reversed course on tariffs.

Depressed people were randomly assigned to give less than a penny a day to charity. Over the next 2 months, moods improved and depression declined. The more they gave, the better they felt.
Even small acts of kindness elevate mental health.
