/

In early June, Sasha, who was around 16 weeks pregnant, started to bleed vaginally. She went to the emergency room, where doctors told her she was suffering from a “subchorionic hemorrhage,” diagnosed her with a “threatened miscarriage,” and sent her home.

Trump’s Argentina Bailout Enriches One Well-Connected US Billionaire

/

This story was originally published by Popular Information, a substack publication to which you can subscribe here.
