I bet no one told you that the Missouri Farm Bureau endorsed the Republican politicians who support Trump’s tariffs and trade war…the two things decimating Missouri soybean farmers.

Did you know that the Farm Bureau sends out a list of “farmer-friendly” politicians to each Farm Bureau member?

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Kentucky deserves a senator with the decency and courage to stand up and speak out for our state. I won’t sit back and watch what’s happening in this country. That’s why I’m running for the U.S. Senate.

Norman Bourlag was an Iowan who saved more than one billion lives with his work on disease resistant wheat.

There's a reason why Iowa is known for feeding the world: our farmers are top notch.

Unfortunately, Ashley Hinson supports policies that are bankrupting them instead of supporting them.

Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3 Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

Unbelievable. Outside the Portland ICE facility, a man and a woman were standing and talking to a pair of cops with shields when one of them draws his pepper spray and unloads it into her face. She was still crying out in pain several minutes later and had to be taken away to get medical attention.

In the first quarter of 2025, farm bankruptcies increased by 95%

Remember: the policies leading to bankruptcy are purposeful. Our food supply is in danger…there is no better way to bring a country to its knees than having control of its food supply.

Google is blocking AI searches for Trump and dementia With Biden, AI Mode will provide a summarized answer.

"Google appears to have blocked AI search results for the query 'does trump show signs of dementia' as well as other questions about his mental acuity, even though it will show AI results for similar searches about other presidents."

Q: How did the White House decide it was appropriate for Jared Kushner to be working on matters that involve Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia -- 3 countries combined that have given him more than $2.5b

Here we are in another Republican government shutdown and my Rep is home doing photo ops instead of in D.C. trying to help working Americans. I didn't think I'd have to run to the trumpets again but I am. I'm running for Congress because I'm not done yet and neither are we. youtu.be/OSOAPMl_BSc?...

Trump is a billionaire who is trying to take your health care away by pitting you against brown people who are not even eligible for ACA subsidies. He wants vulnerable white people fighting vulnerable brown people, so that no one pays attention to the billionaire trying to consolidate power.

I can’t think of any reason to completely wreck the ag markets in entire United States other than purposeful sabotage.

A fire sale on farmland.

While Jeff Landry asks for the National Guard to be mobilized against his own cities, Illinois Gov Pritzker gives practical resistance advice

He urges people to film & document what’s happening.

To ask for badge numbers & ID.

To speak up for their neighbours.

That’s how we resist. Don’t give up.

I expect Missouri will be sued.

"Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway (R) Friday rejected a referendum petition aimed at overturning the GOP’s extreme gerrymander — escalating the state’s power grab into an outright attack on Missourians’ constitutional rights."
