I get this a lot: "Okay Mr. Bad News, so what can we do about it?" Here you go. PLEASE SIGN! Trump's crypto scam is moving into high gear. We have another episode coming out shortly on how he plans to loot the US Treasury. We only have a couple of weeks left before this becomes the law of the land.

We're flying blind into Q4—government shutdown halted economic data. What we saw before the blackout: rising inflation, softening labor market, mass layoffs coming. Only Treasury activity is visible, showing Trump's deficits eating our cash reserves.

There's a liquidity crisis brewing and global investors are backing away. Gold's at record highs, the dollar's weakening, mass layoffs coming. Tariffs + deficits + chaos = nobody trusts us anymore. We're heading into worse inflation and unemployment.

Trump declares war on American citizens, Mexico, Venezuela, free speech, and the English language while Stephen Miller flexes authoritarian muscle and ICE zip-ties kids in Chicago. Oh, and there's a liquidity crisis brewing. Happy 5th birthday to us!

Treasury handed Argentina $20B. They cut export tariffs and sold their soybean crop to China—who won't buy from us anymore thanks to Trump's tariffs. U.S. farmers screwed. Ideology over constituents, every time.

Bailing on Farmers to Bail Out Argentina.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently pledged $20 billion of support to Argentina to prevent its currency from sliding further, and to backstop Javier Milei’s Trump-like economic agenda. Then,…

Goooood Morning Bluesky! Anyone remember the old 1010 WINS Radio saying, "you give us 22 minutes, we'll give you the world?" That's kinda this. But with profanity. A way to start with week with shit you might have missed and shit you need to know. #badBunny #krystalBall #secondThought #oregon

Milei is Trump's test case—cutting agencies, firing workers, consolidating power. If Argentina fails, Trump's agenda is exposed as flawed. So Bessent is offering billions to prop up Milei before his collapse embarrasses Trump.

U.S. farmers are crushed while their government props up Argentina—their top competitor—with a $20 billion bailout. Even GOP Senator Grassley is asking: "Why would USA help bail out Argentina?"

A photographer caught Bessent's phone showing a text from the Ag Secretary: "We bailed out Argentina...they sold soybeans to China at a time when we would normally be selling to China." Trump's bailout screwed U.S farmers.

Our latest for @meidastouch.com on how the Trump administration stabbed American farmers in the back by bailing out Argentina. We break down the $20 billion bailout then do a deep dive into why this is symbolic of our rogue trade policy.

They're deporting legal asylum seekers to destroy entire industries. Then forcing desperate job seekers into those same gutted roles at poverty wages. It's not immigration policy, it's class warfare by design.

New poll shows Americans have completely flipped on Israel-Palestine. 40% say Israel is intentionally killing civilians (up from 22% in Dec '23). Majority opposes more aid. Netanyahu knows he's losing the narrative—that's why he's so desperate.

Losing the Narrative: U.S. Public Support for Israel Craters Amid Gaza Genocide

The American public has made a dramatic 180-degree turn in its support for Israel across demographics as the war of annihilation in Gaza continues unabated.

Did you know a 90% completed wind farm in Rhode Island that would power 350,000 homes and create thousands of jobs got halted. The reason? Trump hates wind power because Scotland built a wind farm visible from his golf course. Electric bills be damned.

White Christian nationalism isn't Trump's invention—it's America's foundation. The violent backlash to a phrase as simple as "Black lives matter" proves the point. Stop calling it "Trump's America." It's just America.

The news keeps saying the labor market is "stronger than anticipated" while long-term unemployment spikes to 2009 levels. The labor market is disintegrating, the AI bubble is about to burst, and they'll blame Schumer when the shutdown hits. Hot mess.

We did a piece on Russ(putin) Vought a little over a year ago identifying him as the mastermind of what would become Trump 2.0. Everyone on BlueSky needs to know this man's name. His entire life is devoted to replacing our democracy with a white Christian nationalist dictatorship.

While America's dealing with mass shootings and government shutdown threats, we're somehow bailing out Argentina and comedians are cashing Saudi checks. The priorities are perfectly clear—and perfectly fucked. New vid breaking it all down.

Meet Russell Vought, the guy with Trump's ear who wants to "rehabilitate Christian nationalism" and crush the administrative state. Journalists caught him admitting Project 2025 was always the real plan, despite denials.

While everyone was focused on Project 2025, Project Esther was being used to crush dissent. Sold as "fighting antisemitism," it's the blueprint to label any protest as terrorism. They're dismantling democracy right now.

Trump's approval among Republicans never budges. 90%. Doesn't matter if he bombs Iran, claims Tylenol causes autism, melts down at rallies; complete capture of the GOP base. We need to stop living in bubbles and face reality.

Antifa is an adjective, not a noun. It's not an organization like the Proud Boys or Oath Keepers. Those groups have official memberships, chapters, and merch. Even the KKK is labeled "extremist" by the FBI, not "terrorist." Logic has left the building.

Dick Cheney helped create the unitary executive monster with Bush. Obama normalized drone killings. Now Trump's using that precedent to murder people in the Caribbean. This is what 20+ years of unchecked power looks like

The Unitary Executive Endgame is Upon Us

Dick Cheney thought he was living his dream when he made George W. Bush the first modern unitary executive. But that wasn’t the end of the story.
