This is a bailout to the banks the farmers get their notes from. This isn’t seed money for next year it covers payment for this year. Ranchers are selling bulls and heifers. American Ag is getting cooked.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: We are not losing this war and Putin is not winning. His army is in a weak position now. They could occupy 1% of our land, but they spent 1.3 million people.

I don't understand why the leader of the largest country on Earth need some more kilometers. This war is about our independence.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

The Trump administration is positioning the upcoming No Kings protests as an excuse for crushing dissent

If no violence develops, the Trump administration will move on and wait for their next chance. But if a conflict involving No Kings protesters breaks out anywhere in the country, then all bets are off.

Mad King Trump Seizes Your Money The president is doing almost exactly what Charles I did to touch off the English Civil War.

The way that Trump is moving money around during this shutdown without the approval of Congress is yet another way Trump is positioning himself as a king. @ryanlcooper.com and @ddayen.bsky.social argue Trump has all the worst qualities of the old English monarchs.

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

The precursor of the Presidential Medal of Freedom was the Congressional Medal of Freedom, which was established in 1945 to honor civilians who aided the fight against fascism in WWII.
