Just for the record. I am living in Brazil now. Javier Milei is hated throughout South America, especially in Argentina. He is reguarded as a fascist dictator & has done nothing but make Argentina's economy worse. He is essentially Argentin's Trump. Now you can understand why Trump is giving 40 bil

Miei is hated throughout South America. He's viewed as a fascist dictator. This is why Trump is helping him after he wrecked Argentina's economy even more so. This will help Argentina's economy and make Milei look better.

40 billion for a fellow fascist destroying Argentina's economy, 8 billion for Israel's genicide, a military base on U.S. soil for Qatar, and NOTHING except fascism for the American people.

Most of the perpetrators are adults. The fascist organization's leaders and organizers.

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?

The pro-democracy Americans outnumber the pro-fascism MAGAots and sleazy Repugnant Klan. Let's show our strength in the NO KINGS marches, 18 October 2025.

First responders and reservoir managers in California are flying blind during storm season because Donald Trump thought it was a good idea to take a chainsaw to federal forecasting services.

We're doing all we can to fill those gaps and protect communities from winter floods.

This is unconstitutional and illegal. A memorandum doesn’t grant anyone the power to override the Constitution.

Trump has signed an order expanding his administration’s authority to redirect unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown,

Collins: Marjorie Taylor Greene—is she someone that you could see yourself working with?

AOC: On what? If she actually wants to support legislation and expanding healthcare… I'm more than open to doing that. But it's not just about talking the talk. We got to walk the walk.

It should be a litmus test for Democratic presidential primary candidates whether they will restore the White House and DC public properties to exactly the way they were before the Palm Beach lounge lizard decided to turn it into Mar-a-Lago meets 1936 Nuremberg.

MAGA thought they elected Trump to save America, but instead he’s saving Argentina. $40 billion now going to Trump’s buddy Javier Milei, while Americans can’t afford groceries, gas, or basic healthcare.
