The entire TrumpCo administration is ONE BIG GRIFT literally taking our tax dollars and pocketing it, with lots of tiny hands grabbing their piece of each grift. Trump is exactly copying Putin who has raped Russians taxes and businesses for his and his pals benefit.
And where is this $20bn Bessent has promised Argentina coming from? Our GOP Congress hasn't exactly been falling over themselves to vote on giving this money from the US Treasury to the Executive to disburse.
In cases like this, I drop a friendly note to the editorial boards/tiplines at NYT, WaPo and Boston Globe (my elitist East Coast newspapers) and let them know they are missing out on a big story. I assume somebody at all of these organizations keeps PI in their morning queue.
So let me get this right: it's okay for Jared Kushner to continue doing deals with the Saudis but Hunter Biden can't do them with the Ukrainians; it's okay for Trump to take tons of boxes of documents and leave them around foreigners who might want access to them but not for anyone else; it's okay for Trump to take billion dollar gifts from the Qatari's and for Clarence Thomas to take grifts from his rich buddies; it's okay for us to WITHHOLD aid from people who are in desparate need of do good programs once touted by the Republicans (Bush, Rubio, etc), to knock down Obama's rescue packages of American banks and corporations, but to allow a shameless $20B to buy out Argentina for your buddy so he doesn't lose his bet? SMH
We need billboards and other types of informative signage, everywhere, and bumper stickers, and a hell of a lot more Fuck Trump shirts, because whenever I wear one of mine, people run up to me, sometimes with their kids, thanking me or asking how to get them I always say "order yourself and your friends some, everyone needs to STAND UP".
The Trump regime is profoundly corrupt. And EVERYONE in Congress who remains silent, enables Trump's destructive corruption. Now soybean farmers, who voted for Trump, will require a Trump bailout in order to stay loyal to him. ALL of these corrupt bailouts will be paid for by American taxpayers.
Shame! (No shame). We destroy a life-affirming organization like USAID which put baby formula into starving babies' bottles and gave vaccines to many who would die without them. These innocents, many in Africa, are now dead. And AIDS will once again sicken and kill people. And yet these oligarchs would raid our treasury to give their loser politicians a boost? I have nothing against Argentina, but for Chrissakes, feed the children first.
CORRUPTION ALL the time everyday!!! This regime is hurting us so badly!! We have to stand up!! If the people can get Jimmy Kimmel back on air we can shutdown this regime!!! But it will take us all to do it!!!
I agree, it is going to be up to us to put a stop to this corrupt administration. It will not be easy and will take a grassroots movement to succeed. We need to come together and keep putting pressure on what is probably the worst group ever to populate the Whitehouse. It is going to be an uphill struggle, but we must reclaim the government or we will turn into a third rate country. Bill Fitchett
You summed that up perfectly, we are in a most dangerous place in our history,it is not a time to sit on our hands and watch the country be stolen from the working class. Bill Fitchett
I've stopped watching! They analyze, engage in "what do you think" conversations over and over, endlessly. Lawrence O'Donnell seems to be less inclined to do that and highlight the things we're discussing here. Otherwise, it's all "what do you think" conversations. I'm pretty much over all of that.
While millions of Americans will see their health insurance premiums rise to unsustainable levels and others will loose their Medicaid and (by law) Medicare cuts will follow, the trump regime gives Argentina a 20B bail out.
This is a national outrage that (apparently) only PI readers know about. Hope continues to quickly dwindle.
Yes! In top of the fact that we’re funding Israel’s war on Palestinians. Plus did you know Israel has national healthcare & its mandatory? And we are inadvertently funding that! We need to keep screaming this to our congress “reps” (even though they have given up representing “we the people”) We must hold ‘em accountable anyway.
When we killed off USAID we effectively killed off tens of thousands of people. Remember austerity? How we can't even afford to extend aid to our own people? How we need to cut costs and cut "entitlements" even though we paid for those entitlements?
Now we have some unelected MF that somehow gets to disburse $20 Billion US taxpayer dollars?
We're burning money flying generals around the world for a "Warrior Ethos" pep rally hosted by that idiota kegsbreath (not to mention the incalculable cost of compromising any security those officers had), hiring back tens of thousand recently fired federal workers, dumb-ass tariffs dreamed up by dumb-ass MF's, looking at extreme fallout from RFKKK Jr's criminal stupidity, etc.
We just had DOGE "saving us money" (no, they didn't) for what? To give it all away to some Argentinian criminally-minded, grifter-pimp!
The tipping point creeps ever closer and these brain-dead clods, this confederacy of dunces who are temporarily in charge of this would-be-great nation are too blinded by their ignorance, arrogance and avarice to see it!

No bottom to the corruption!
You're talking about Bessent right? :)
And where is this $20bn Bessent has promised Argentina coming from? Our GOP Congress hasn't exactly been falling over themselves to vote on giving this money from the US Treasury to the Executive to disburse.
but of course!
Judd, keep the light shining through the cracks of this corrupt administration.
Wonder if the national media will pick up your story?
Bet not!

Katy, Fabulous! Keep it up!
And yet… nada…
Well, let's see what happens over the next news cycle. Judd's reporting is cited in these MSM so they are keeping track and using his leads sometimes.
🤞🤞 hope you’re right…Major news doesn’t lead with the news… hope they will at least follow…
Mother Jones credited Judd’s reporting on this.
Good on you! 👏

This is Truth!

Let’s look at the MAGA scoreboard-
$20 billion for Argentina- $0 for premium tax credits for Americans.
Go home and get your pay for Congress- work with no pay every other civil servant.
Build the ballroom- shut down SNAP
Yep. Seems fair.

You've got a few headlines already written! I wish the "legacy" media would pick them up since they don't seem able to write their own.
Beautiful job PI!
Earth to MSM...are you there?
I've stopped watching! They analyze, engage in "what do you think" conversations over and over, endlessly. Lawrence O'Donnell seems to be less inclined to do that and highlight the things we're discussing here. Otherwise, it's all "what do you think" conversations. I'm pretty much over all of that.
NPR and PBS (please support them if you can!) are very good.
This where I now get my daily dose of news too. It's quick, concise and fact based.
While millions of Americans will see their health insurance premiums rise to unsustainable levels and others will loose their Medicaid and (by law) Medicare cuts will follow, the trump regime gives Argentina a 20B bail out.

Not just Trump but Bessent's good friend is not only bailed out but makes more money on the Argentine bailout with his insider information.
Is there no one in the felon's administration that is not corrupt? Nope.
Good job, Judd. Keep beating the pants off the NYT et al.
Is this shit legal?
Now that's funny. Like it matters with this Crimeministration.
Or with the Republican dominated Congress and Supreme Court.
SCOTUS--The Supreme Corruption of the Unlawful Six.

Thank you for all your fine reporting.
So, the $20B will be laundered to Trump thru Argentina and a crooked MAGA billionaire. What a shock?
“Follow the money” …. ..some things never change, and how does this “bailout” help any of us?
