Now Trump is sending $40 BILLION to bailout Argentina.

This would fund at LEAST a year of the ACA tax credits millions rely on to afford health care.

Meanwhile, Argentina has universal health care.

U.S. support for Argentina could hit $40 billion

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said an additional $20 billion in private-sector loans for Argentina could effectively double the value of a U.S. rescue plan.

I’m so sorry. The loss of one is devastating enough, but two, Im sure, seems unbearable. They were both handsome men and those smiles show such gentle spirits. I pray you’re covered with precious memories of both of them.

roberts thinks it is an affront that a community of upstanding citizens can not do as it chooses when it comes to voting. if that means that they might discriminate against a racial minority, he has no problem with that either as long as it is facially neutral.

Everything about John Roberts's approach to the Voting Rights Act makes sense when you remember that John Roberts has has always been hostile to the Voting Rights Act, never believed it was appropriate, and has spent most of his 45-year legal career working to hollow it out.

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

White people need to talk to other white people. It is entirely up to the whites to move the needle on their end.

Let me be clear: racism and antisemitism are rampant on *both* sides of the aisle.
