Without China trade, whatโs next for Upper Midwest soybean farmers?
Itโs been raining for hours in Ransom County, North Dakota. The weather reminds Mike Langseth why he has grown a bumper crop of soybeans.
So far, China hasnโt placed a single order of U.S. soybeans for the upcoming market year. And the absence has sent farmers across the Upper Midwest, including Minnesota, scrambling for what to do with the crops. ๐ฏ Trumpโs doing. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

Incredible moving speech by 20 year old Violet Affleck at the UN today.
Violet listed the harms of infection, pleaded for people to do more to protect children from COVID infections and advocated for masks and for clean filtered indoor air for everyone.

Fearing Violent Threats, CDC Medical Experts Are Scared To Talk About Vaccine Safety
"I have many that won't speak about vaccines now and have removed their names off of papers," said former CDC chief medical officer Debra Houry.
Dr. Deb Houry, former CDC chief medical officer: โI have many that wonโt speak about vaccines now and have removed their names off of papers. They donโt wish to present publicly anymore because they feel they were personally targeted because of misinformation.โ
This is frightening.

Trump Is Shutting Down the War On Cancer

Another question I get a lot:
Sure, vaccination can create herd immunity. But since measles is so contagious, and recovery gives lifelong immunity, why can't we achieve herd immunity through mass infection & recovery?

The Em Dash Responds to the AI Allegations
โIn recent months, a curious fixation has emerged in corners of academia: the em dash. More specifically, the apparent moral panic around how it is...
"Listen here, my good bitch...I am not some sleek, futuristic glyph. I am the battered, coffee-stained backbone of writerly panicโthe gasping pause where a thought should have ended but simply could not.
Letโs be honest: The real issue isnโt meโitโs you. You simply donโt read enough."

Medicaid isnโt a handout.
Itโs the nurse at your grandmaโs bedside.
The doctor delivering a baby in a rural clinic.
The meds keeping a disabled neighbor breathing.
Half of U.S. kids rely on it.
Call it what it is:
Compassion made policy.
Cutting it is cruelty, plain and simple.
