How is it not a bigger story that Trump just promised a $20 BILLION bailout for Argentina during a U.S. government shutdown—but only if his MAGA ally stays in power?

That’s not foreign policy.

This is insanity.

Trump says bailout to Argentina contingent on his political ally Milei remaining in power | CNN Politics

If President Donald Trump is worried the $20 billion economic lifeline he’s sending to Argentina in the middle of a US government shutdown might cause him political headaches, he didn’t show it Tuesda...

I’m here because I’m tired of broken promises and recycled one-lines. I might throw in a cuss word here and there, but I don’t give a shit! We need leaders who are going to fight like hell for the working class, not their billionaire donors.

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

No. I will not vote to allow 15 million people to lose their health insurance and watch 50,000 Americans die each year unnecessarily.

No. I will not vote to double premiums for 20 million.

Republicans must come to the table and negotiate an end to the shutdown.

Thank you! I've been noticing their abuse of our language.

Take the opposite of everything they say to get their real meaning.

ICE is torturing detainees
While the acts themselves already constitute torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment, the patterned, state-directed, and concealed nature of ICE’s restraint practices could — under international legal definitions — meet the threshold for crimes against humanity
