Trump keeps betraying Iowa farmers.

Where is Ashley Hinson?

She has shown time and again she won’t have Iowa farmers’ backs if it means standing up to Trump.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Job losses on par with the Great Recession. National debt is ballooning because of Trump’s Big Ugly Bill. More money going to billionaires’ pockets, less to yours.

This is Trump’s economy.
Host: Weekly jobless claims rising unexpectedly to 231,000. Challenger layoffs, a challenging number here, 108,000. That was the worst January since 2009.

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.

The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

A first step, sure. But there’s usually only 150 in the entire state. This drawdown means there will still be around 2,300 (15x the normal amount) unaccountable federal agents roaming our streets.

Friends, when the history of this sordid period of America is written — assuming it’s not written by historians trying to curry favor with a future fascist regime — I hope the leaders of American business are condemned to the hellfire they deserve for helping destroy American democracy.

Thank you @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social
for bringing Liam back to his friends and families.

He endured more than any 5-year-old ever should. Now more than ever, we need to get ICE out of Minnesota.

Good to see --> Reps Eric Swalwell and Dan Goldman just introduced their bill stripping ICE agents of qualified immunity. We broke the news that this was coming on our podcast (see thread below for more info and context).

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."
