This is hilarious.

Also, completely enraging.

Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates.

Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs β€” laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023.

Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state.

The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices.

Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at http://senate.gov and http://house.gov β€” it takes two minutes and it matters.

This is hideous and horrible, and the people pushing for it deserve to spend the rest of their lives in a cage.

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

The Vitruvian Man as a visual "gauge" or dial. The different arm angles of the figure correspond to labels along a color-coded arc (green to red), similar to a speedometer:

REST – arm down (fully green)
PET DOG – slight upward angle
PET CHILDREN – moderate angle
CALL TAXI – arm nearly horizontal
CALL WAITER – arm raised high
NAZI – arm fully extended upward at a straight angle (red zone)

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is out, Trump says, after controversial tenure President Donald Trump announced the decision on social media and said Noem would be replaced with Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.).

Kristi Noem will go down as the most shamelessly incompetent and cruel Homeland Security Secretary in U.S. history.

Firing her is not enough. NOEM, GREG BOVINO, and STEPHEN MILLER all must be held accountable for terrorizing and endangering the American people.

Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this Committee?"

Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely."

"Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers … That is behavior that fits a pattern if one were looking for a pattern."

Trump's self-dealing is truly off the scales β€” eclipsing even the biggest corruption scandal of the First Gilded Age.

Democracy is dying in America.

ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.

We need real leaders - not career politicians.

This is why so many courts have found conversion therapy, which shows images to gay men to stop them from being attracted to other men, to be excessively cruel.

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve?

If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days?

If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built?

It's a tax. That's all it is.

Tariffs are like magic. They lead people to buy American, without raising the price of foreign goods, and they also raise enormous revenue from foreigners. They fund childcare and deficit reduction and tariff rebates and they smell nice.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.
