This hurts farmers and rural communities, and leaves our food supply chains vulnerable.

Ken Culp an Indiana Farm Bureau Republican filed a bill that would allow kids as young as 14 to drop out and work on corporate farms during school hours. It became law in 2024! Kids would only need to complete 8th grade in order to work 40 hours a week as a farm laborer.

The Christian right’s deification of Donald Trump amounts to idolatry.

Trump’s malignantly narcissistic response to the murder of Rob Reiner reveals a deeply demonic figure: one callously indifferent to any life but his own, the antithesis of a true Christian.

We really are sliding back into a spoils system and it keeps expanding. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that lobbyists close to Trump are charging roughly $1 million (sometimes several million more)

"There’s no reference to any legal authority & no detail. It’s just 'there are security concerns, as evidenced by the Secret Service saying there are security concerns & the project cannot be stopped, & you cannot have any more details.' How do you possibly push back against that? It’s just mush."
The legal "defense" for Trump's ballroom is a joke
If everything is "national security," then nothing is.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

America is so safe now that immigration enforcement agents with no badges can enter your home while contractors are doing work, manhandle them, detain them, and leave your house a bloody mess.
