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.

79. American citizen.

Also, release the Epstein files.

If I made Tylenol, I’d be preparing a defamation lawsuit.

Our work is not done…

📌 Sinclair Broadcast Group is still refusing to air Jimmy Kimmel Live! on its ABC affiliates nationwide.

Folks, you know what to do.

Google Sinclair-owned networks and channels in your city and act accordingly.

Nexstar made a deal to acquire broadcast conglomerate Tegna in a $6.2 billion deal, which will require government approval.

They’re continuing to refuse to air Kimmel.

Stay focused.

Also, works part time at McDonald’s at 12??? Sigh.

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for.

But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

Not to be a stickler @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social , but it was “our girlfriend” 😕

Now Russia’s “girlfriend” is gutting our intelligence department by 40%

Nothing to see here, folks!

Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steam rolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left

🇺🇦 Re-upping this one in the name of decency and democracy.

Slava Ukraini!

The woman petitioning SCOTUS to overturn marriage equality in the name of the sanctity of marriage is on her fourth husband.

Yeah, we won’t be trusting any info put out by the “Heritage” Bureau of Labor Statistics Department.

I can’t help but notice the Wall Street Journal stopped getting Epstein leaks after Todd Blanche met with Ghislaine Maxwell and she was moved to a minimum security resort.

The CEO-to-worker pay ratio at S&P 500 companies last year was 285-to-1. The median employee would have had to start working in the year 1740 to earn what the average CEO received in 2024. Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

So, as I suspected, the police response to the shootings of Democratic elected officials in Minnesota was actually a complete disaster www.startribune.com/new-details-...

@beyondmeatofficial.bsky.social lunchtime!

Funny, link is a 404 not found message now.

A few things are clear from this:
1. Trump has lost control of the narrative.
2. Trump is panicked about what is in the Epstein files.
3. When the files get released, Trump will say they are forgeries.
4. Trump is going to target Democrats with political prosecutions.

Why are folks mad at the working mom with kids on Medicaid and SNAP rather than companies like Walmart that refuse to pay her a living wage and provide health insurance?

I closed my Etsy store and deleted my account. Buh-bye.

They just lie.
