Anatomy of a fake scandal
WSJ obtained video of Ken Paxton partying with literal fugitives in Dubai, so Republicans panicked and invented a story about Talarico checking into a psych hospital. It backfired.

If this can happen to a sitting member of Congress, it can happen to ANYONE who stands in Trump's way or doesn't do as he says. The DHS raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar's home is extremely dangerous and the desperate attempts of a president who thinks he's a king.

share.googleMilei introduced the Super RIGI project in an op-ed for The Financial Times, opening with praise for the Dutch East India Company (VOC), a corporation that fused corporate and governmental power. It was granted a commercial monopoly, its own army, currency and legal system, and the power to declare war. It built its wealth on colonial exploitation and the enslavement of hundreds of thousands of people. In this sense, the Super RIGI is the legal framework for a foreign-flagged VOC to operate on Argentine soil.
Milei celebrates the VOC as the birthplace of limited liability, "the invention that allowed capitalism to develop its full potential", a supposed gift from the West to the world, upon which Western superiority rests.

As if kicking 5 million people off SNAP wasn't enough, massive new Republican cuts begin today. These cuts will make it harder for families to keep their benefits and jeopardize local services. And it’s all intentional. I’m fighting to reverse these cuts. www.statenews.org/section/the-...

Ohio will lose an estimated $38M to administer SNAP. Metro areas will be hardest hit
Starting Oct. 1, the federal government will give states less funding to administer Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs. Ohio’s largest counties are losing millions.
