$20 billion to prop up Argentine economy has been classified. An 'Argentina First' foreign policy? If the bailout is for Trumpโ€™s billionaire fund manager buddies at BlackRock, Fidelity and Pimco who over invested in Argentina, then we know why he classified it.

Prison staff who leaked information about Maxwellโ€™s treatment fired, lawyer says Representative Jamie Raskin claimed Maxwell was being waited on โ€˜hand and footโ€™ by prison staff

Raskin detailed the โ€œconcierge-style treatmentโ€ Maxwell was receiving. This included customized meals hand-delivered to Maxwell, a service dog in training to play with and Warden Tanisha Hall being used as her โ€œpersonal secretaryโ€ when reviewing and editing documents.

Hereโ€™s the thing: Pam Bondi is not the Attorney General. Sheโ€™s really not. Sheโ€™s Donald Trumpโ€™s personal lawyer. Thatโ€™s all.

Now on to the House

THEY GOT NOTHING
THEY CAVED FOR NOTHING

They caved
For nothing

Trump isnโ€™t going to do anything to address ridiculous prices, but he will let you mortgage a house for 50 years!

His banker buddies will LOVE that. A $400,000 house will cost you a million dollars over 50 years.

Whatโ€™s next, 10 year auto loans? ๐Ÿคข

More broadly, officials across ICE say Noem and Lewandowski have directed them to use a $170
billion infusion of cash from Congress to launch splashy ideas that have proven ineffective or impractical.
Among the examples some ICE officials have cited: A few weeks ago, the pair ordered ICE officials to buy 10 737 jets from Spirit Airlines that they said would be used to boost deportation flightsโ€” and for their own travel, according to people familiar with the matter.
Some officials warned the pair that the effort would be prohibitively expensive compared with hiring more flight contractors, the people said.

Once the officials looked into the proposal, they learned that Spirit, which filed for bankruptcy for a second time in August, didn't own the planes. The planes also don't have engines, which would need to be purchased separately.
The project has since been put on pause, though DHS recently purchased two Gulfstream jets for $200 million, according to Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee, who were notified by the department.
A spokesperson for Spirit didn't respond to a request for comment.

Freedom to decide decide when to form a family, who to form it with and how we identify ourselves is a freedom this country is born of abuse and struggle. We are better for the freedom and that freedom is endangered by those who want to tell people who they are allowed and not allowed to be.

And they're living it up with dancing girls at Mar-a-Lago and drinking bubbly at the new Cafรฉ de Rose Garden and hitting companies up for Trump's opulent ballroom and squeezing a 747 from Qatar and selling watches and crypto and sneakers and otherwise making a mint.

It shouldn't be hard at all.

Senate Republicans blocked a resolution demanding full funding for SNAP benefits.

This, as Trump still refuses to fully restore SNAP to 42 million Americans.

As we head into the midterms, don't forget: GOP lawmakers are fully complicit with Trump's weaponization of hunger.

House Democrats Respond to Trump's Illegal SNAP Cuts YouTube video by House Democrats

Letโ€™s be clear: The Trump Administration has the resources and the legal authority to fully fund SNAP benefits. Not only do they have the ability, but they have also been ordered by a court to do so. And they are still choosing not to.

The White House just walked back Trumpโ€™s deranged and angry threats of defying the courts and clearly violating the Constitution.

Itโ€™s long past time that we had a serious conversation about whether Trump is mentally fit to serve as President under the 25th Amendment.

I'm sure there are places around the world in which Hindus are being massacred, Muslims are being massacred, etc. and we won't invade those countries much less even say anything about it. Another sign of their Christian nationalism. This is holy war to them. They're on a mission from God.
