Farmers on the hook for millions after Trump freezes USDA funds The White House had repeatedly said the funding freeze would not impact benefits that go directly to individuals.

Farmers report missing millions of dollars of funding they were promised by the U.S. Agriculture Department, despite promises from the Trump administration that a federal funding freeze would not apply to projects directly benefiting individuals.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Trump ousts at least 12 independent inspectors general in late-night purge The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire a Senate-confirmed inspector general.

The White House late Friday fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies in a purge that could clear the way for President Donald Trump to install loyalists in the crucial role of identifying fraud, waste and abuse in the government.

Trump’s Immigration Threats Are Already Wrecking the Food Industry Immigrant farm workers are too scared to show up to work.

The goal of some legal immigrants is working, deportation will cut worker supply. Wages will go up in many sectors, which is needed, however it may be short-lived. The reliance on illegal labor was an open secret. 2025 is going to be tough for all do to inflation.

Elon Musk and his company SpaceX failed to comply with federal reporting protocols aimed at protecting state secrets, including by not providing some details of his meetings with foreign leaders, people familiar with the matter said. nyti.ms/4iG0ojK

Stop calling them “regulations”. They are “protections”.

The comments in here are what is wrong with Democrats. No one knows him, so he is old, white, and must go. You wonder why we lose. Disenfranchise a part of the party and lose by a slim margin. Think about it.

I lived in his district and therefore watched him, I know why he did. He never argued a point in a way to make ads for the other side. He got his start defending a community from oil companies' careless pollution. AOC is not who she used to be, but attacking the people who you need is never good.
