It's amazing how much things come back around. I wasn't taught textiles as a child, so I'm passing on what I learned early.

UPDATE: Taxpayer bailout of Argentina may grow to $40 billion The bailout, which Trump admitted is of little benefit to Americans, keeps getting bigger.

$40 billion and counting to prop up a failed TV troll in Argentina. Governing is harder than it looks, Javier, no?

DOGE we found the waste, fraud and abuse for you πŸ‘‡

It’s weird how the β€œyoung” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
