“The biggest challenge is political. Without a congressional majority, Milei has relied on vetoes to block deficit-boosting bills. By conceding targeted increases, he hopes to blunt those challenges while courting centrists who dislike Peronist populism but remain wary of his radical cures.

We need to channel masculinity in such a way that is moral and productive for society. This isn’t an excuse for toxic masculinity, but it requires an acceptance that not all masculinity is toxic and we need masculinity to be a force for good.

“Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s border czar who promised to bring “hell” to Boston, was recorded accepting $50,000 in cash during a September 2024 meeting with undercover FBI agents posing as business executives seeking government contracts, according to multiple media outlets.
The cash was held in a bag from the food chain Cava, the New York Times reported, citing sources who were familiar with the case and spoke on the condition of anonymity. The Homan investigation arose from a long-running counterintelligence probe that was not targeting Homan.
According to MSNBC, which first reported the story, Homan told the undercover agents he could help them get government contracts.”
