Apparently $20B of our taxpayer money wasn't enough to bail out Argentina.

So much for America First.

Perfect explanation of what Trump has done:

"He didn’t invent authoritarian fandom and racial conspiracy culture; he licensed it, scaled it, made it hot. He made it glamorous to be cruel. He turned the taboo into a loyalty oath," said Rick Wilson from the Lincoln Project

"The MAGA operating system rewards cruelty, honors shamelessness, and elevates performative transgression as a test of in-group loyalty," he writes. "If you want to show you’re 'real,' you say the unsayable, and then, crucially, refuse to be shamed when normal people recoil. Cont.

Look at Trump trying to blame China for not buying our soybeans

Trump, this is your fault because of your tariffs and you screwed our farmers by demolishing USAID

And don't forget how Argentina played you...You gave them $20 billion and they turned around with a soybean deal with China🤦‍♀️

Maybe instead, you should be asking them why neither they nor Hamas have signed the actual peace deal 🤷‍♀️

Trump admin. cuts funding for program that tracked Ukrainian children abducted by Russia

NPR's Ailsa Chang speaks with Rep. Greg Landsman, a lawmaker who signed a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio asking whether a database of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia had been deleted.

From NPR article from March:

"This data is absolutely crucial to Ukraine's efforts to return their children home …The foreign aid freeze has jeopardized, and may ultimately eliminate, our informational support of Ukraine on this front," the letter states.
