Hard to cover everything in one article, but you'd think a piece premised on how the bailout will succeed only with a Milei victory in the midterms would at least note the, uh, recent internal developments that make that surpassingly unlikely (Espert, polling, veto overrides, general immiseration).

For Bessent’s $20 billion bet on Argentina to pay off, a lot of things have to go right.

The problem is that in Argentina -- a nation with a track record of squandering other people’s money and defaulting on its own debts -- those things have tended to go wrong.

"... the history of the term Staatsräson is explicitly a history of violence. It’s about all of these forms of behavior that are not moral but are politically necessary: lying, deceit, violence, expropriation…”

I worry that in schools they’re getting too much “active reading” training too early. Actively pulling information from a passage is a very useful skill, but is certainly not how you should engage with Gandalf inviting dwarves to your peaceful home for a raucous party.

Lo lindo del asunto es que Espert cree que «recibí la plata de una mina de oro en Guatemala» no resulta igualmente turbio.

the going definition of "working class" seems to be whether or not one went to college. look I know we're not going to agree on here about what "working-class" is but can we all agree it's not that?

Trump’s 2024 coalition has already fallen apart. Polls show Trump has lost the young, Black, and Latino supporters he attracted in 2024, leaving him with the same old white working-class base.
