Fun Fact: Stephen Miller, before he was a top commander in Trump’s MAGA army, once asked @davidcorn.bsky.social out to coffee and tried to recruit him to an anti-immigration crusade.

Corn writes about the decade-old encounter in his latest:

My coffee with Stephen Miller

He tried to recruit me for an anti-immigration crusade. Little did I know what he would become.

And how exactly do we know the money is going to Argentina and not lining Trump’s pockets? We don’t. There’s no accountability here. Zero. That’s why we need to reign this bullshit in and let Congress control the appropriations…IT’S THE FUCKING LAW!

The Trump White House is not bailing out Argentina. It is bailing out Scott Bessent’s Wall Street friends and other international financiers.

Meanwhile, Trump/Bessent have gutted soybean farmers like a bunch of freshly caught trout.

So we can’t afford healthcare for the U.S. people but we’re happy to bailout Argentina, which has universal health care?

Just out of curiosity, I thought Congress was the one that provided funding? Also, the bailout is just trying to stabilize their currency so dudes from the US that invested in Argentina don't get crushed by a currency devaluation. That's the real story. FYI, see Treasury Secretary.
