Whoa, why are Republicans bailing out Argentina to the tune of $40,000,000,000.00 when American farmers are being crushed by the economic policies of Trump and Republicans?

House Agriculture Committee Democrats @houseagdems.bsky.social · 6h

We just heard that Republicans want to give Argentina $40 billion in American taxpayer dollars, instead of the original $20 billion.

They're leaving family farmers in the dust and it's egregious.

My ex is a Debbie & I used to say, “Little Debbie’s got a snack for you.” Borrowing the company slogan. And she would punch me in the stomach.

Donald Trump has been firing people who protect your health, safety and pocketbook, and who keep our country safe. The shutdown is just his latest excuse for these purges.

Generally, a new member of the House of Representatives is sworn in by the Speaker of the House during a ceremony on the House floor. However, other individuals, including a federal judge, can administer the oath in specific circumstances.

This is that circumstance.

Pray for Chicago and Portland, these war torn cities are full of scary Antifa terrorists in costume who are dancing in the streets and having fun, it’s some very scary stuff. 😉

Sen. Mark Kelly: "The president has previously said...that government shutdowns are on the president and all you need to do is get everyone in a room and have a serious conversation. And they're refusing to do that. They are holding people's healthcare hostage."

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...
