China was the largest export market for American farmers in 2024. They bought 27 metric tons of soybeans last year. They stopped buying in 2025 when Trump started his trade war. These are simple, obvious, basic facts. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Leavitt: "President Trump convinced President Xi to continue purchasing again American soybeans, which is something China wasn't doing under the last administration because they had no respect for President Biden or the country at the time."

According to researchers, if the 20% cut in international development funding continues, 12 MILLION more kids will die before the age of five.

But don't worry—that money is going to billionaire tax breaks instead, so I'm sure everything will work out fine.

Always fun when your adult kids have to take a detour to Reno because there’s a crime scene shutting down the freeway.

Rumor is a road rage incident resulted in 2 people shooting each other to death. Right by the CA/NV border.

Guns everywhere is such a good idea. 😒

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

This is a deeply unprofessional and illegal partisan statement from the Trump hack who's currently director of the CIA.

It's also deeply dishonest, because the decision to grant the shooter asylum here was made by the Trump administration.

This Thanksgiving, the NJ Senate is killing a gov’t watchdog that stops wasteful spending, giving politically powerful individuals broad powers to intimidate law enforcement fighting corruption & even letting them tap phones. Outrageous. 
 
I’ll be testifying against it on Mon.

I haven't been on there since the 2022 midterms, but it's astonishing how this decision by Elon to reveal where accounts are based has revealed huge numbers of high-follower right wing accounts located outside the US, but posing as Americans.

At a time when solar and wind are the cheapest forms of new energy in the world, Trump wants to open a BILLION acres of US water to oil drilling.

Why? To line the pockets of his fossil fuel billionaire friends.

The rest of the world moves forward, we get left behind.
Breaking News: President Trump plans to open 1.3 billion acres of U.S. waters to drilling. It is one of Trump’s most significant steps yet to increase the production of fossil fuels, as dozens of countries have been calling for a phaseout of oil, gas and coal.
