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

Ted Lieu @tedlieu.bsky.social · 1d

Whoa, why are Republicans bailing out Argentina to the tune of $40,000,000,000.00 when American farmers are being crushed by the economic policies of Trump and Republicans?

House Agriculture Committee Democrats @houseagdems.bsky.social · 1d

We just heard that Republicans want to give Argentina $40 billion in American taxpayer dollars, instead of the original $20 billion.

They're leaving family farmers in the dust and it's egregious.

Hint: we are the axis 🇺🇸

POLITICO Europe @politico.eu · 13d

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned today that Europe must grow stronger to defend against an “axis” of autocratic nations targeting liberal democracy more aggressively than at any time since the Cold War.

Europe’s democracies are in danger, warn Merz and Macron

Threats dwarf anything seen since the Cold War, says German chancellor.
