I am not going to repost the vile and racist image that Trump posted last night of President & First Lady Obama because it is beyond disgusting. Trump is a vile racist as is every Republican that continues to support him. I don’t want to hear mumbling from Mike Johnson or stoic silence from Thune.

Trump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. I’ve confirmed this is real and watched it myself.

Democrats created a rural caucus within the DNC more than a quarter century ago. I was one of two original co-founders. Agriculture and small business are key to a thriving and safe America. When a nation can't feed its people that nation is at risk. It's no BS to say #RuralMatters.
“The policies of this administration have caused tremendous harm to US agriculture,” letter signed by cross section of agriculture stakeholders said. “Farmer bankruptcies have doubled, barely half of all farms will be profitable this year, and the US is running a historic agriculture trade deficit.”
