Remember how MAGA told us Javier Milei would fix Argentina's economy with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing out Argentina with billions.

Remember how MAGA told us Donald Trump would save US farmers with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing them out with billions also.

I’m sure Zuck is outraged and going back on all the bro shows to say how it is so wrong for any administration to make demands on free speech.

Spread this around. Missouri and Ohio Democrats need at least 100,000 valid signatures to take on Republican gerrymandering maps. This is the fight 🔥

Guardrails of Democracy @demguardrails.bsky.social · 3d

MO & OH Dems need us to help Rally support!

A commissioned poll shows nearly 1/2 of MO voters oppose the maps

The Dem committee needs over 100,000 valid signatures across multiple congressional districts before the state’s 90-day window expires on Dec. 11 to let voters decide on the maps.

Missouri Democrats have an opportunity to block a new congressional map. They say they’re largely on their own.

Despite relatively little investment from Washington, Missouri and Ohio Democrats are looking to block new Republican-drawn maps through uncertain avenues.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

In the long, trade-war debate of “Who Holds the Cards?”, US officials are admitting they tried to reach out to China and essentially got the Heisman.

There can be real repercussions for shifting funding during a government shutdown. Under the Antideficiency Act, enacted to prevent federal agencies from spending money Congress hasn’t appropriated, officials who buck those restrictions face up to two years in prison and up to $5,000 in fines.

Pentagon will pay military troops, Trump says, shifting $8B

The president said Saturday that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has funds available to pay troops on Wednesday.

This is what WHITE DEI looks like. Next MAGA will demand the Civil Rights Act be gutted so they can go back to "whites only" restaurants, schools, work, etc

Dean Obeidallah @deanobeidallah.bsky.social · 2d

Black unemployment rate has surged over the past four months up from 6 to 7.5%. While white unemployment is down to 3.7%. This is because Trump has a created a climate with his war on diversity that favors hiring whites only. That is 100% what MAGA wants. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/12/b...

Black Unemployment Is Surging Again. This Time Is Different.
