Democracy Now! was on fire today. I'm choosing to feature some of their headlines today. I'll likely get to more from today's broadcast tomorrow.

-"The U.S. State Department says it’s revoking the visas of six foreign nationals over social media comments they made about the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk. On X, the State Department posted, “The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans. The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk.” The thread then went on to list examples of posts by the foreigners, identifying them as citizens of Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Paraguay and South Africa. It comes as President Trump posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk during a White House Rose Garden ceremony on Tuesday."
More squashing of free speech, as well as the continuing completely nauseating lionization of the bigot Charlie Kirk.

-More of the Reps' typical fashy shit.
Vice President JD Vance posted on X, “I refuse to join the pearl clutching.”
So Vance supports blatant racism. Not particularly surprising. It's certainly not the first time.

-Speaker Johnson was asked whether he was delaying Grijalva’s swearing-in over the Epstein files, to which he lied, “It has nothing to do with that at all.” He's now being sued by New Mexico over this.

-"President Donald Trump: “We’re going to work very much with the president. We think he’s going to win. He should win. And if he does win, we’re going to be very helpful. And if he doesn’t win, we’re not going to waste our time, because you have somebody whose philosophy has no chance of making Argentina great again.”
So Trump is giving $20 billion to Argentina conditioned on his buddy Milei winning the election, while he whines about the Dems shutting down the economy, and simultaneously meddles in Argentina's econony and politics. There is also another potenbtial $20 billion from tech sources and the investors mentioned below.
"It comes as critics point out that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s friends who lead major financial firms, including BlackRock, Fidelity and PIMCO, are heavily invested in Argentina and would benefit financially."
More of this administration's typical graft.

-The only media organization to agree to this are Trump boot lickers One America News Network. Even Faux refused.

OP
AS MUCH AS $40 billion. The other twenty is from private tech sources and the investors mentioned.
