More Arkansas farms filed for bankruptcy in 2025 than any other state It's a new report from the Arkansas Farm Bureau.

www.4029tv.com/article/more... THIS IS the outcome of a dictatorship/authoritarianism state that prioritizes data center building, rural public school funding cuts, & Turning Point USA chapters in high schools. It breaks my heart my home state is the incubator of what Trump sees for all of America

“If they rise, they rise.” Donald Trump’s reaction to $3.48 national average for gas. This as Trump has started an illegal war, presented no plan for ending it, and doesn’t care what you think.

Trump calls on divided GOP to pass SAVE America Act ‘at the expense of everything else’ Trump suggested the SAVE America Act includes a number of provisions that are not in the proposal.

www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
The SAVE act has not gone away. It has a new name - the SAVE America Act - and it is dangerous. They know they can’t win so they are doing all they can to stop free and fair elections. #SAVEAct #midterms

Important Update: Pentagon Admits Iran was Not Planning to Strike United States as Narrative Justifying War Begins to Fall Apart Good morning everyone.

Of course what Trump/MAGA tells us was a lie or made up. There is a reason this action was taken - we just don’t it yet know - we can speculate as more people are killed and injured. #iran #trumplies #epstein

I’m not making a “take” on anything. I just don’t understand what his reasoning is. And, yes, I understand how Congress works and this fascist regime manipulating - I do.

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social this is confusing. Do you mean that you are ok with #Trump unilaterally deciding to go to war thumbing his nose at the #constitution and #congress’ Article One authorities? Looking forward is important but so is dealing with how we got here.

Starts an illegal war in the Middle East and he can’t even be bothered to take his ass to the White House. And, hey, #JDVance - you aren’t President so get your ass out of that chair. #iran #trump #vance

DHS will suspend TSA PreCheck and Global Entry as shutdown continues The Department of Homeland Security will temporarily halt both programs as part of several emergency measures expected to go into effect early Sunday.

This is what #authoritarians do. MAGA makes it less secure for people to fly in the US so they can pressure Congress to approve more than the $10BILLION it already has to fund unconstitutional ICE actions. Welcome to fascism. #Trump #MAGA

Ghislaine Maxwell was Epstein's fixer. That’s exactly what #pambondi is - exposing victim’s names while keeping powerful men hidden. We already know #Trump is in those files thousands of times. #Bondi isn’t an attorney general she is #Trump’s fixer. It’s a cover up. Period. #releasetheepsteinfiles

Power grabs don’t always look dramatic.

The SAVE Act 2.0 is MAGA/Trump’s way of holding onto power by making it more difficult for you to vote.

Call your members of Congress and say NO TO THE SAVE ACT 2.0

Every issue you care about—from union rights to abortion access—requires political power. The SAVE Act 2.0 is a scheme to strip your power, especially women, young people, and voters of color. If you can't vote, you can't fight back.

MAP: All 23 industrial warehouses ICE wants to turn into detention ‘death camps’ In an apparent attempt to avoid public outcry and scrutiny, ICE has sought to secure these leases in private. So we made a searchable map of every proposed site.

Heads up! Info on DHS proposed detention camps. Communities are stepping up to say NO! @maddow.bsky.social also did a piece on this on 2/2. #ICEOUT #takebackourdemocracy #takebackourcommunities

Trump’s ICE has no rules to abide but one - don’t worry about the law, US or otherwise. Of course they feel like they can barge into another country’s consulate. PLEASE call your Senator - Democrat or Republican- and NO MORE MONEY TO ICE! #ICEOUT
