The fact that their ticket was mysteriously canceled the day before and then they were questioned by DHS is both one of the greatest political scandals and crises of my lifetime and just another fucking Thursday in 2025.

Mark Bray and Yesenia Barragan, and the family, have safely embarked on their trip to Spain after being questioned by DHS.

Also a reminder that being right wing overlaps strongly with being scum in your personal life. These are not people you can have apolitical friendships with anymore, they tend strongly towards personal ugliness.

We're spending $20B to bail out Argentina, but they cut USAID down to the bone, causing deaths around the world. The entire budget of USAID, the whole agency, was $21B last year. Shameful.

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 U.S. just bailed out Argentina, Treasury Secretary confirms

The US Treasury has finalized a $20 billion financial rescue of Argentina, including a currency swap arrangement with the country's central bank.

Eugh, gross, but entirely believable for these sleazeballs. It's not like management will reject it.

“Just defer to the executive on the meaning of the law” means the executive is now also the judge.

Hamilton: “The court doesn’t have to decide what a rebellion is.”
Perry: “I think I do.”

Rocky Flats Chimney Sweep 🇺🇸 @midlifesuezcrisis.bsky.social · 11h

Perry is applying a very appropriate level of scrutiny and BS filtering here, but it is really kind of shocking the kind of presidential supremacy DOJ lawyers are arguing exists

Heather Cherone @heathercherone.bsky.social · 17h

Perry: DOJ's definition of rebellion would mean that
"literally all nonviolent protest” could be considered evidence of rebellion. Is that your argument?
Hamilton: The president has determined there is a danger of a rebellion, and you must defer to that finding

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

It *is* still antidemocratic and antiliberal in a sentimental way, but that's not a new discovery about Johnson personally or the modern GOP.

You'd have to target this at a relatively limited number of swing districts. The more targeted, the more obvious the election fraud becomes. I guess I don't discount that they could try it, but they very quickly give up the game.

Rocky Flats Chimney Sweep 🇺🇸 @midlifesuezcrisis.bsky.social · 2d

The pacing worst case realistic scenario is that they dispute marginal elections and refuse to seat disputed Dem electeds, not that they find the magic no election button. If they try to say "lol no elections", well, it's time to boogie I guess, but posting doom and gloom over it is pointless.
