The fact that electronic voting systems can be bought and sold in this way, while their inner workings remain a proprietary secret kept from the public, is a wild conflict of interest and a massive threat to the security and integrity of American elections.

Republicans are keeping the government shut down instead of providing health care subsidies to Americans at the same time that Trump just bailed out his buddy in Argentina.

$20 BILLION.

Remember that we’re being lied to whenever we’re told that we can’t afford something that helps American families.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 2h

The Trump administration confirmed that the U.S. bailed out Argentina.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had directly bought Argentine pesos in global currency markets in a bid to relieve pressure on the nation’s embattled President Javier Milei, a supporter of President Trump.

The image is a split composition with two photographs on top and a bold text statement below. The left photo shows a group of U.S. ICE officers in tactical gear walking outdoors with detained individuals. The right photo is a historical black-and-white image of Nazi officers in uniform inspecting rows of soldiers. Below the images, large yellow block text on a black background reads: “IF YOU JOIN ICE IN 2025 THEN YOU ABSOLUTELY WOULD HAVE JOINED THE NAZIS IN 1935.”

Republicans in Congress strangely silent on the Argentina bailout to benefit Bessent’s friends.

It also helps you to avoid talking about it when you are never asked about it.

Trump has declared war on Blue states. Let’s hope the courts continue to follow the law.
