Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.

There is zero oversight. Congress not involved.

One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,

Adding insult to injury.. the boozing, ex tv host is leading the charge. Being outraged and embarrassed on an hourly basis has become our norm.

After repeated calls for my NC senator to call for RFKjr’s resignation.. I get a lame response that Bobby must explain the reasons for his actions, as he strayed from his confirmation hearing statements. BULL SHIT, Thom Tillis. You got what you confirmed.

Mass shootings, sensible gun control, and mental health awareness & help should be this administration’s priority. It should be an American priority.. not Democrats or Republicans.

GOP. The party that loves children so much that they deny food, vaccines, education and healthcare once they are born.
This patriarchal society is scary out of control.

Senator Patty Murray @murray.senate.gov · 5d

Republicans are pushing debunked anti-abortion propaganda as an excuse to rip mifepristone off the shelves and block women from getting abortion care.

100+ studies prove mifepristone is safe and effective.

SPEAK UP, we can't let them get away with this.

Nearly All GOP Senators Urge the FDA to Restrict Abortion Pills

The senators are asking the FDA to suspend its approval of generic mifepristone, which would heavily restrict access to abortion pills nationwide.
