Update: this is no longer included in the final funding deal. I'm going to keep fighting to lower premiums and ensure Republicans can’t get away with a backdoor national abortion ban.
Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Hey can I get a quick check-in from all the "I Voted For This" MAGAs on flushing $40 billion of taxpayer money down the toilet to bail out Argentina for some reason? Can you explain your reasoning in demanding tens of billions of dollars of our cash go to a country we have very little to do with?

From the memory hole: There was a hostage release and ceasefire deal in place by the Biden administration 10 months ago. It was allowed to expire in March, under Donald Trump, and now it's been revived and rebranded, with Donald taking full credit like always.
