So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

This is total word salad as one expects from Bessent. The truth is that in recent years the Exchange Stabilization Fund has been used only to provide dollar-based loans to other countries. What Bessent/Trump did was buy Argentinian pesos with US dollars, exposing US taxpayers to Arg currency risk.
MSNBC: How does a $20b bailout of Argentina help Americans?
BESSENT: Do you know what a swap line is? Why would you call it a bailout? The US government made money

Border Patrol Agents Pose At The Bean For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, 'Little Village!'"

A Berwyn family was driving with their 1-year-old child Saturday when they were pepper-sprayed by federal agents, a video taken by the family shows. The action appears to violate a judge’s restriction on use of force.

Spending Bill Would Pave Way for Senators to Sue Over Phone Searches
Republicans have voiced outrage that Jack Smith looked at G.O.P. lawmakers’ phone records surrounding the Jan. 6 attack. Legislation to reopen the government would allow them to sue for $500,000 each.
