Bailing out Bessentβs Buddiesβ Bets on Argentina
Trump bails out hedge fundsβ failed bets on Milei while his foreign aid cuts will kill millions of children

more accurately: for fear of a healthcare strategy leak, we're not gonna have a plan AT ALL

Congress Pushes DHS for Details on ICEβs New Facial Recognition App
404 Media first revealed ICEβs new app, called Mobile Fortify, in June. Now members of a congressional committee are pressing DHS for more information, including ICE's legal basis for using the app in...
C'mon, America, whatcha gonna do?
"The Mobile Fortify app has been deployed to the field while still in beta, which raises concerns about its accuracy. Face recognition technology is notoriously unreliable, frequently generating false matches and resulting in a number of known wrongful arrests."

it's that "in good faith" clause that has proven to be very tricky for #KingShit, Smirky J and the rest of the soulless republican congress

either KingShit truly believes his meeting was a 12-out-of-10 (a serious problem that only further supports escalating dementia claims) or he knows full well it wasn't (which means he's lying)
Both are unacceptable

MAGA and radical right-wing culture wars are at a tipping-point. As Trump continues to unravel and his unpopularity grows -- destroying our most cherished institutions in plain sight, right alongside our economy -- many more people are turning away and just not buying into it.

what is the radical-right so afraid of? if you break it down, the only clear conclusion is they are racist through generations of good ol' boy locker-room talk (especially amongst fathers, sons, trusted mentors, etc. -- not just peers) and closed, hive-mind thinking. Wrong in every sense.
