What do I know and I'm not saying it's a magic bullet or anything like that but it sure seems to me that Dems should run hard on the Argentina bailout. Not anywhere near the worst thing Trump has done, but i suspect it's unusually clarifying.

Jeffries: "It's perplexing to us that Rs refuse to spend a dime to protect the healthcare of the American people, but somehow the Trump admin found $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina in ways that are also going to continue to hurt our soybean farmers in Iowa & the Midwest"

Trump doubles the bailout to Argentina, now $40 billion, and Argentina takes all China’s soybean orders away from our American farmers - 7 million tons. Was it Argentina first?

20 billion dollars from the US Treasury **was not enough**. So now it's 40 billion dollars! And why stop there?

All while the US government is shut down.

"America First," amirite?

…or horrified by the blatant capitulation of mainstream media, law firms, corporations & academic institutions

www.newsweek.com/fact-check-d... Just a reminder to everyone cares about today’s oral arguments in the voting rights case that Clarence Thomas owes his Yale law degree to affirmative action. Something he’s never denied. Are his opinions in affirmative action & voting rights hypocritical? You decide!

Fact Check: Did Clarence Thomas go to Yale under affirmative action policy?

Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas' vote to overturn affirmative action has been called out by SCOTUS critics.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!
