CNBC: Is importing beef from Argentina a possibility?

BROOKE ROLLINS: Yes, the president has said he's in discussions with Argentina. It will not be very much. Argentina is also facing a foot and mouth disease issue.
GOP is asking Dems, not to reopen the government, but to rubber stamp their heinous spending bill. A yes vote by Dems would validate that spending bill with priorities that are anathema to our own. If they want yes votes, then make a deal. Don't make healthcare too expensive for millions of people.
Phase 1 of Trump's plan didn't break new ground. Redux.
Phase 2 is going to take years. Disarming Hamas, identifying new leadership for Gaza, and assembling a multinational monitoring force are all very complex and volatile steps. If it all doesn't fall apart, it will take longer than 2028. IMHO

Our Executive Director Jose Vasquez on why veterans are protesting ICE: We "have stood up at Ice protests and faced arrest because we recognize a pattern of state-sanctioned abuse."

This is about protecting the basic freedoms we swore to defend.

But soon all the drivers will have six pack abs and Y chromosomes.
Boom. Nailed it.
Trump's erratic behavior has become predictable.
Thank goodness Europe knows what's at stake.
Because Trump doesn't really care who wins the Ukraine war, he will probably not remember what he said to Zelinsky today or what he said about Putin. He'll wake up tomorrow and think something different.
I want to hear a reporter ask Mike Johnson if he's considered what his Speaker of the House legacy will be if he continues to do nothing about the spending bill, hides from a vote to protect an unpopular president from the Epstein files, and refuses to seat a duly elected member of Congress. Hmm?
Today, Mike Johnson will have the House adjourned for 77 out of the last 89 days.

House Republicans have worked 12 days in 3 months.

All to prevent a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

The House Republican Epstein Shutdown continues.

Compare Trump’s (unusual) level of empathy for Argentina — vs. Ukraine.
