I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

A personal post: I am feeling it (it = the fatigue). Fighting all the time is exhausting. Giving myself permission to be an absolute shit human today and not care about anything but myself. Will fight another day, namely, tomorrow.

Classic mistake ppl make in the art of Talking To Idiots Online is they go "okay you believe Absurd Premise A. But would you also honestly claim a similar Absurder Premise B?" To which the other person of course just says "Yes!" and now congerts you're stuck arguing the sky isn't green with them

Sometimes it hits me that we still have more than three years to go of this term, and I think we need a greater sense of urgency and call to action. It's 1,199 days as of this typing.

One thousand, one hundred ninety-nine days left of his second term. My god.

Is there a better indication of how superficial and unhelpful mainstream media has become than that they are cutely musing about whether the domestic terrorist who changed "The Department of Defense" to "The Department of War" will get a Nobel Peace Prize—instead of reporting the fascism/terrorism.

America is not building enough housing and Americans are facing sky-high housing costs as a result.

Today, the Senate took a historic step to change that.

The ROAD to Housing Act will help communities – urban, suburban, and rural – build more housing and bring down costs.

The ‘currency swap’ has been finalized. Argentina got their $20 billion and gave us an unknown number of pesos, while he cuts healthcare and human services for Americans. Don’t call it a bailout, they say — it’s like saying tariffs aren’t taxes. What happened to America First?

One thing we've learned from the American judicial system: The first 34 felonies are on the house*.

The convicted felon who was found liable for lying on financial statements just had Letitia James, who prosecuted him, indicted on the same charge.

Every pos despot around the world is green with envy right now.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

The whole obsession Trnmp has over the peace prize is that Obama won it in 2009.

That's it. He refuses to be denied a prize that the black president won.
