Morning.

Iowa farmer: This fertilizer shortage is going to affect everybody. It could lead to a decrease in yields. If you look at that countrywide, corn, soybeans, cotton, rice, that will increase prices. It's gonna be a train wreck for consumers.

This is our country. Donald Trump doesn't own America. He doesn't own the White House. Everything he does relies on our money.

We depend on Congress to represent our interests. They are failing us by allowing him to exploit our money for his personal interests. He & his party of sycophants must go.

“'The administration thoughtlessly terminated people with crisis experience, and now they’re left without depth in the bench in the middle of a wide scale and broadening crisis,' said a former official with more than a decade experience in evacuation operations..."

After years of taking sunset photos on the coast, they all started to seem the same but looking back now, I can see the differences in the cloud formations, the waves, the streaks of light. Each was unique, even if I didn't see it at the time.

Democrat, Republican make runoff in race to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene in Congress Democrat Shawn Harris won the most votes in the heavily Republican Georgia congressional district.

My district, & although Harris is predicted to lose the runoff, still cause for massive celebration last night.
Any who can afford it, throw your support at Shawn Harris.
It will make a difference; make a statement.
He is like...the PERFECT candidate: Ret. Brigadier General and farmer! A good man.

This is hilarious.

Also, completely enraging.

Right now, it’s the survival of America that is foremost in my thoughts.

And yes I am all for women’s rights and the election of a woman president at first opportunity.

You may be correct. That’s not my point of focus.

Apples and oranges. Hate vs. help one another.

Call it what it is, but Trump's fascism is on clear display. But so is the resistance. Protests are growing and polls are shifting. Here’s your reminder that the American ideal is stronger than any one man. Deep-dive in my recent Substack article at the link in my reply.

We Stopped Feeding the World to Buy Lobster The administration gutted global aid in the name of fighting government waste. At the same time, the Pentagon spent millions on steak, crab, furniture, and even a $98,000 piano.

DOGE said it was cutting government waste.
So they gutted USAID — the agency that feeds starving people around the world.

Meanwhile the Pentagon spent millions on lobster, ribeye, and even a $98,000 piano.

I’ve called Trump’s America a pariah state. As I watch the Iran fiasco play out, I’m thinking it would also be right to describe it as a Confederacy of Dunces.

Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."

If Democrats take back control of Congress and the Senate at the midterms, if they don't immediately impeach Hegseth and charge him with war crimes, I'll do everything I can to ensure a different democrat from my state replaces the ones that are there now.

Pete Hegseth is a murderer.

DFL lawmakers propose $40M rental assistance package Senate Democrats introduced a bill to create a $40 million emergency rental assistance fund to help Minnesotans at risk of eviction.

This may not be a popular or patriotic take, but I wonder if our troops are being forced to fight a war they know is morally wrong, illegal, unconstitutional. And it is all of those. This goes to the generals and commanders as well. I sure as hell wouldn’t risk my life for the Psychopath In Charge.

A sad reality.

When the President of the United States views "We the People" as a threat to his power, he has abdictated his sworn duty to serve us and must be immediately removed from office.

_ trump, number one cause of hatred around the world.

We are in greater danger every day because trump is mad, incompetent, soulless, and delusional. He is demolishing America; yet the press and elected leaders present that the truth is otherwise. This is a moment that requires bold leadership to force him out of power. Today!
