REPUBLICANS ARE THE WEAKEST, most soulless, mindless, devolved anti-American Cretons on Earth; no integrity, no honor, no respect nor even tolerance for ANY fellow Americans who are even slightly different physically or ideologically. They're too stupid to know they're anti-American FASCISTS, LIARS

"Trump dissed Charlie Kirk during Memorial service. It was a new low, even for him. Always expect Dementia Don to say off the wall shyt without a second thought.
We already saw how much he cared when he immediately began talking about his ballroom while supposedly feeling sad."

A ruling that strikes down VRA Section 2 could shift the balance of power in Congress, potentially giving Republicans a lasting advantage by enabling the dismantling of minority districts that currently elect Democrats.

A ruling that strikes down or weakens Voting Rights Act, Section 2 could effectively dismantle the nation’s most successful civil-rights law, giving states broad freedom to draw maps that diminish the voting strength of communities of color.

U.S. agricultural groups, including the American Soybean Association, expressed frustration over the Argentine deal, noting that U.S. aid was indirectly helping a competitor while U.S. farmers faced falling prices and lost markets.

Shortly after Trump's $20B bailout, Argentina announced a temporary suspension of its export tax on soybeans to boost sales.
China subsequently purchased at least 10 cargoes of Argentine soybeans, further displacing U.S. farmers in the market.
