Billions to Argentina and now billions to Hungary. Christ.
New Argentina just dropped.
Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán says the U.S. will provide a “financial shield” as he struggles to win reelection
Meanwhile Trump President said last week “I don’t want to hear about affordability” as health care premiums explode & food/energy prices rise.

The lesson of November 1989 - Berlin - is that regimes which build walls do not persist.
Israel has begun building a concrete wall inside Lebanon near the border with occupied Palestine, as part of a U.S.-backed Israeli plan disguised as a “ceasefire agreement” noting that Israel has breached the agreement everday since it started.

Holy shit. This company claims it has developed an air-source heat pump with a COP of *7* (3-5 is considered good). For you non-nerds, that basically means it produces 7 units of heat for every unit of electricity it consumes. How are they doing it? You're not gonna like this answer, but: it's AI.

And the people they think they’re saving with SNAP almost certainly have ACA plans. This is delaying even worse pain.
