@heidirediker.bsky.social and I wrote this for @alphaville.ft.com - US intervention in Argentina sends a worrying signal about politicizing US financial firepower. Are Fed swap lines next? IMF quotas should be increased to prepare for the next crisis. on.ft.com/4pPdCOz

President Biden claiming Japan's investment in an American steel company is a threat to national security is a pathetic and craven cave to special interests that will make America less prosperous and safe. I'm sorry to see him betraying our allies while abusing the law.

Trump blew up the initial bipartisan spending deal and then tried to blame Biden. But it didn't work. Instead, dozens of House Republicans blocked his bid to avoid having to raise the debt ceiling in his early months in office. Michael Shear Maggie Haberman www.nytimes.com/2024/12/20/u...
Trump Wanted Shutdown to Happen on Biden’s Watch, Not His
The president-elect was eager to evade responsibility for the consequences of a potential shutdown even as he blew up a bipartisan deal that would have kept the government open.
