If Graham Platner loses in the primary or general, it wonโt be because his messaging didnโt land, or that his ideas arenโt good.
Itโll be solely because he has a f*ckn Nazi SS totem tattoo on his damn chest, and did nothing to resolve that before running, until he was exposed for having it. ๐

USDA's reputation suffers after massive revisions in US corn acres
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, long the world's gold standard for crop estimates, faces mounting doubts about the reliability of its data from farmers, grain traders and economists following deep...
Under Trump, the USDA *wildly* underestimated the amount of corn that was harvested by US farmers in 2025.
This has been attributed by experts to be a direct result of massive staffing cuts.

In terms of what cures are being lost:
- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease
