Trump is bailing out Argentina with $40 billion while leaving American farmers twisting in the wind. At this point, it’s obvious he doesn’t want them to succeed.

I’m calling it now: this is going to turn into a land grab for pennies on the dollar.

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

I’m sure it’s occurred to many people already, but if he’s giving $40 BILLION to Argentina, you can be sure some of that money will end up back in his pocket — that’s the grift.

It’s not like there will be a traceable receipt.

Just a thought: Instead of Argentina, how about we bail out America first?

I dont think enough Americans realize Republicans are gearing up for permanent rule. I dont know if we will get to midterm elections. Even if we do, with gerrymandering, the gutting of the Voting Rights Act, and violent intimidation, they'll rig the elections for minority rule.

All hands on deck.

Sadly, women in politics get significantly more threats and harassment, robust evidence shows.

As someone whose company frequently works with parliamentarians, I can also tell you this is true in my experience.

Anyone ever been to the San Miguel Writers’ Conference before (for fun — not hawking a book)? It’s been on my radar for a while.

Would like to hear perspectives, tips.

(AP) — Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military further from the seat of its power.

The Alaska Native village of Kipnuk was due to receive a $20M grant from the EPA that they were going to use for flood protection.

It was labelled “wasteful DEI spending” and canceled.
