Baldwin: Our farmers are facing incredible headwinds. A lot of the fertilizer inputs come from Canada. Those have shot up because of tariffs. About a quarter of all farmers use the ACA for their health care coverage. This president is just contributing to the headwinds that our farmers are facing.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.
FORM A CROWD STAY LOUD PROTECT EACH OTHER CODE I: ICE NEARBY BLOW QUICKLY IN A BROKEN RHYTHM: PRE-PRE-PRE! → ALERTS THE COMMUNITY THAT ICE AGENTS ARE IN THE AREA. ROGERS PARK WHISTLE PROTOCOLS WHY A WHISTLE? ON THE STREETS • A SIMPLE TOOL FOR FAST ALERTS. • LOUD. RECOGNIZABLE. IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE. • OUR VOICES ARE STRONGER TOGETHER. WHISTLES GUIDE PEOPLE TO: • FOLLOW ICE CARAVANS • CATCH UP WITH THE CROWD • ALERT NEIGHBORS TO JOIN IN NOISE = VISIBILITY. CODE 2: CODE RED BLOW THREE LONG BLASTS: PREEEE-PREEEE-PREEEE! → ICE IS DETAINING SOMEONE. FORM A CROWD, STAY LOUD. DON'T STAY SILENT. STAY NONVIOLENT. WHY IT WORKS • INSTANT ALERT SYSTEM • FASTER THAN SOCIAL MEDIA • TURNS SILENCE INTO COMMUNITY ACTION ORIGINAL FLYER CREATED BY: WHAT YOU CAN DO • WEAR YOUR WHISTLE AROUND YOUR NECK TEACH FAMILY EIGHBORS TH CODES • USE IT WHEN ICE IS SPOTTED • PROTECT EACH OTHER, ALWAYS TOGETHER, WE KEEP OUR COMMUNITY SAFE.

‼️ CHATTANOOGA - Public school kids outperform voucher kids AGAIN

As @GovBillLee steers more and more taxpayer funds away from public schools to private (mostly Christian) schools for wealthy families who are already there.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

I can't get over how the CDC layoffs are coming less than two months after the attempted mass shooting. The agency is being taken apart brick by brick. The public servants there do not deserve this.

Dems floated a narrow bill to fund the military, which can’t move because the House isn’t in session. Meanwhile, DoD is now going to spend funds not appropriated by Congress to ensure military paychecks continue.

POTUS now both commands and provisions the military. Unconstitutional and SO dangerous
The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News. A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

This kind of kidnapping, whether it's otherwise law-abiding undocumented workers, or 🇺🇸 citizens, ICE thugs act like they get a bounty per head (they already get a $50K signing bonus), these goons would have been slave catchers back in the day.

Bynum Demands End to ICE Raids After U.S. Citizen Allegedly Abducted by Masked Agents Bynum compares ICE’s conduct to U.S. Marshals hunting down Black Americans under the Fugitive Slave Act. By Anthony Effinger October 09, 2025 3:34PM PDT One of the ICE agents who apprehended Frank Miranda, a U.S. citizen, on Oct. 2, 2025 (courtesy of Frank Miranda). (Frank Miranda) U.S. Rep. Janelle Bynum (D-Ore.) called on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to stop abducting her constituents, a week after ICE agents apprehended a Milwaukie man born in California on his way to work and detained him for part of the day. “These ICE raids are reminiscent of the Fugitive Slave Act, when the U.S. Marshals would hunt down and kidnap Black Americans,” Bynum said in a statement. “That was a dark and shameful time in our nation’s history—we must not allow that to repeat. Masked federal agents aren’t welcome in our state and they can’t keep kidnapping Americans.” https://www.wweek.com/news/2025/10/09/bynum-demands-end-to-ice-raids-after-us-citizen-allegedly-abducted-by-masked-agents/

NO KINGS is our protest showing that we LOVE our country and the constitution, to insinuate anything else is a lie.

GOP won't use the name of the rallies on Oct. 18th....ask yourself why that is.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.
