Along with the $20 billion U.S. taxpayer bailout to Argentina, the Trump admin announced another $20 billion for Argentina from private banks. But the banks won’t lend the money without a guarantee from the federal government. So it’s a $40B taxpayer bailout.

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing?

Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

The truth about Emil Bove's conduct at DOJ would not have been fully known, if it weren't for a whistleblower.

As this administration makes a habit of misleading the courts, and ignoring court orders, speaking up could mean exposing real lawlessness.

Every weekday on Broadway, undocumented immigrants line up to enter 26 Federal Plaza. They enter harshly lit hallways where ICE agents mill around — waiting to take people away. For our cover story, Stephanie Keith captures the anguished scenes of arrest in downtown Manhattan. buff.ly/N6JNPUP.

Maybe it should burn down again. How do we know what he's really been doing to it? Since 2016. I bet he's got the oval bugged from here to eternity. The new ballroom probably allows hostile actors a live feed.

So here's one idea. Maybe don't fire artillery shells over a civilian interstate, even if the vice president thinks it'd be a cool way to own the libs.

Lt. Col. Lindsay Pirek, a spokeswoman for the First Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Pendleton, said the Corps was aware of the report of a possible airborne detonation, and an investigation was underway.
"We are committed to determining the incident's root cause and applying findings to future missions," Colonel Pirek said. The statement did not provide additional detail on the munitions used during the exercise.

Apparently they’re fine with the kidnapping and torture of innocent people—with toddlers zip-tied and families torn apart by fat-assed Gestapo cosplayers.
Spotify’s been running ICE recruitment ads.
