The US has finalized its $20 billion bailout for Argentina.

Too bad it only benefits one American: a billionaire hedge fund manager, who has placed large bets on the future of the Argentine economy.

Trump’s Argentina bailout enriches one well-connected US billionaire

A $20 billion US rescue package is a gift for a hedge fund manager with ties to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

Important piece by Prof. Kate Andrias. This is why treating SCOTUS as the only word on the Constitution gives away our power as citizens.

As I frequently say “we are founders and framers” of the next iteration of democracy in this country.

the technical difference between an air force training facility and a base is significant, but it doesn't make advancing the powers of lethality of a nation that doesn't even recognize women as people a good move for America

This is the latest chapter in a campaign of cruelty and recklessness that is breaking essential programs that working people rely on, driving up prices, disrespecting working families, pushing up the nation’s unemployment rate, and sending America’s economy into a ditch.

maybe republicans could take a look in the mirror, or read the data, or recheck the political affiliations of the assailants?

again, really wild the insult to everyone's intelligence to grandstand and flagrantly lie like that. someone please cast an Emmy for Bondi

Qatari military alliances and recent weapons build up reads like they decided to become what the US used to be, with bases all over the world, and top grade weapons sophistication. I guess Trump is the peace prez because he made us a subject instead of an empire?

wtf are we putting an air force base in idaho for a nation that doesn't give anyone even basic rights, while we hang our allies out to dry? an ally of HAMAS? HELLO?

Hegseth's stupid obsession with "strength" is like when roosters go around shaking out their feathers and flexing their shoulders, because they're idiots who don't know how to clear a four foot fence.

The South Carolina GOP is pushing for one of the nation’s strictest abortion bans. If passed, the bill would:
✅Make abortion a felony equivalent to homicide
✅Narrow the legal definition of contraceptives
✅Criminalize sharing information about abortion
