Soybean Farmer: So now I've got a tariff war that's killing my market. I don't have any money from grain we're sending to other countries for USAID. I mean, I've got a compound problem. I don't know how you plan for next year because we don't know where we're at.

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 3d

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

Lowering grocery prices? 𝐍𝐨.
Putting troops in American cities? 𝐘𝐞𝐬.
Golfing during government shutdown? 𝐘𝐞𝐬.
Protecting free speech? 𝐍𝐨.
Decreasing unemployment? 𝐍𝐨.
Promoting hatred & divisiveness? 𝐘𝐞𝐬.
Releasing the #EpsteinFiles? 𝐍𝐨.
Revenge on his enemies? 𝐘𝐞𝐬.

Focus is clear.

Authoritarianism thrives on fear and intimidation. But courage is contagious and people are standing up everywhere against the onslaught.

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · Sep 10

NEW: The National Guard analyzed its mission and found it is perceived as "leveraging fear, driving a wedge between civilians and the military, and promoting a sense of shame among troops and the military." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

National Guard documents show public ‘fear,’ veterans’ ‘shame’ over D.C. presence

Internal documents reviewed by The Post reveal, with rare candor, how domestic missions rooted in politics risk damaging Americans’ trust in the military.

Will ICE send guys to Boston looking for red hair and listening for brogues? Or stake out delis in Chicago to see who buys a kielbasa?
No. This is about profiling people by skin color and language.

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · Sep 9

Today, I was joined by organizations representing 100,000 doctors & medical experts.

They know — I know — that vaccines work, and have saved millions of lives.

We cannot allow Sec. Kennedy or anyone else to undermine faith in science and put the health of our children at risk.
