Also argentina immediately used this windfall to slash export taxes so they could replace American soybean farmers' China exports, and USAID was a major buyer of food from US farmers. Should be the easiest issue in the world for Ds to outflank trump

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.

Here's the TOTAL budgets of some other agencies that are being cut so the Admin can send $20B your tax dollars to their ideological friends:

- EPA (clean air and water): $9.1B

- NOAA (weather forecasts, warn if hurricane coming): $6.8B

- DOE EERE (energy efficiency & renewable energy): $3.4B

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

Cancelling a 6200MW project when electricity costs are spiking across the nation from data centers is ........ a choice.

Esmeralda 7 was all set to receive its final approvals in July and even got a rare procedural win from the Trump admin in its early days

Then came Trump’s permitting freeze, which was a condition for passing his tax megabill

Now 6.2 gigawatts of new solar — unfathomable to me — may be no longer

The US may be going backward on clean energy, but the world moves forward.

"Clean sources grew more than demand and therefore they displaced some fossil fuels," Ember's Senior Electricity Analyst Małgorzata Wiatros-Motyka told Newsweek.

World nearing 'crucial turning point' as clean energy outpaces power demand
Energy research group Ember said the global surge in clean energy more than met demand for electricity and led to the first fall in fossil fuel use this year.

The media coverage of Gaza in the US is already massively out of step with almost any other country you might visit.

New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).
