Sending Argentina $20 billion to bail out their economy while ignoring American workers and farmers who are getting killed by Trump's tariffs is a boneheadedly stupid thing to do politically.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

Pope Leo is spitting.

www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows
"exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation,"
with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty."

Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down."

The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote.

Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

C-SPAN caller from Missouri to Missouri Rep. Mark Alford: "I hope you, sir, as an elected official, will think of the people who are in nursing homes, their parents are in nursing homes, their Medicaid is going to be cut. What is going to happen to Missourians whose hospitals are gonna close?"

Now they’re indicting Letitia James…the woman who finally held Trump’s feet to the fire. You can smell the revenge all the way from Mar-a-Lago. This isn’t justice…it’s payback wrapped in paperwork. And every American with a brain knows it.
