When the bailout for Argentina…is actually a bailout for the Treasury Secretary’s hedge fund billionaires.

They get richer…and it just gets harder for you.

This is absolutely true. And also the least self-aware article ever, from the publication that brought you “The Gaza Famine Myth.”

What do you think it’s like to watch your child starve to death?

The first time one of your children is seriously ill or hurt, you pass through a portal into a new world. You learn to recognize fear in its purest form—hot and metallic, writes Abigail Shrier for The Free Press.

Jon Farina is absolutely everywhere. Sometimes I think there are a dozen of him.

He also captured some of the most important 1/6 footage (which YouTube outrageously deleted, much of it lost to history, because it was violent or something)

Status Coup's videojournalist @JonFarinaPhoto had a leg day on the clock capturing this epic chase between two ICE agents and a nonviolent, middle-age activist who was standing outside the gates of the Broadview processing center on September 27, 2025.

Israeli officials gave a document they said is from Hamas to the NYT.

NYT: Is this document authentic?

Israeli officials: Yes, it is real

NYT: Great, confirmed authentic.

Guys, that’s not how authentication works!

How can Netanyahu celebrate a peace deal — and post a portrait of himself dealing Trump the Nobel Prize! — and then do something like this and still be accepted and welcomed in free society?

How do people like Haviv Rettig Gur or Olivia Reingold or Bari Weiss continue to justify this absolute barbarism.

I mean what can you even say about a govt that pretends to accept a ceasefire, celebrates Trump for reaching it while urging he get the Nobel Peace Prize, and meanwhile just keeps slaughtering civilians. Utterly putrid behavior unbecoming of the civilized world.

Very odd SCOOP:

Just weeks before the 2024 primary election between Cori Bush and Wesley Bell, Bell used over $35,000 in campaign funds to buy his friend's Dodge Durango, which the friend had failed to sell two years earlier.

He then hired the friend, who now drives the car.

The congressman from St. Louis put some of AIPAC's money to an unusual use. He now faces a rematch with Cori Bush.

Israel was presented with the terms and substantially altered them. US is absolutely fine with that even as it humiliates the Arab counties backing it.

Now Hamas comes back with amendments and the world loses its mind.
