I wonder how Rep Senator Tim Young is feeling right now. The Revenge Tariffs from Columbia are really bad for our farmers (and also bad for Colombia. 96.7 % of their corn for livestock comes from the USA )

Again I think this ends fast. But it’s interesting

Hegseth is trying to be a smooth-talker today during his confirmation hearing…

But he’s sexist, against diversity in our armed forces, and is unqualified to serve as Secretary of Defense.

That’s the substance over style that the Senate must focus on.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The Musk model: just accuse everyone else of lying while you tell demonstrable lies, again and again.

And millions believe it.

We are in an unbelievably dangerous moment for democracy right now, with the entire public square polluted and undermined by the tech bosses.

There should be a wealth cap, no single individual should own more than a billion, excess wealth should be pumped directly into social services. If monopolies are illegal, billionaires should be too.

This map helps explain why Trump had so much success framing US-Mexico border immigration as a national issue even though most Americans aren't affected by it, our economy depends on undocumented immigrants, and it is Trump who has fought border reform the last four years.

It's the racism, stupid.
