Argentine peso weakens to fresh low despite US interventions
Currency gains sparked by estimated $400mn of US purchases melt away ahead of election for president Javier Milei
so that was money well spent then, hey? america firrrrst!
"The Argentine peso has fallen below the level it reached before the US Treasury began purchases this month, in a sign that the Trump administrationβs financial support is failing to halt the currencyβs slide..."

Yeah, that's why I spend one day making and canning stuff I can simply open a jar of, toss in a bowl and heat. That instapot of mine is a handy little thing, I can can four pint jars of something in it. I even have an off brand one that takes 3 pints. I've had both of them going before.

A tweet from James Surowiecki reads: βThis tweet is a perfect encapsulation of the MAGA understanding of presidential power: since Trump was elected, he can do whatever he wants, ignore the Constitution, and ignore the law. But that's not how US democracy is supposed to work. The president is not a king.β Below it, he quotes Meghan McCainβs tweet, which says: βI donβt understand how Trump is a King when he won every single swing state, the electoral college and popular vote in a democratic election.β
Unfortunately this particular McCain apple fell far from the family tree.

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but itβs about this whole ring of men. Thatβs what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

This is the Most Brazen GOP Gerrymander Yet
Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.
βThe power to draw fair maps is so important that people will try to find ways to get out of doing it,β @mcpli.bsky.social of the Brennan Center told Democracy Docket.
And Utah Republicans are doing just that in their brazen efforts to avoid compliance with a voter-approved anti-gerrymandering law.

βThe first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves. If an individual is not successful in emotionally crippling himself, he can count on patriarchal men to enact rituals of power that will assault his self-esteem.β
