USDA’s beef industry plan sells out public lands β€’ Oregon Capital Chronicle The Beef Industry Plan doesn’t strengthen the West β€” it destroys our fragile ecosystems and puts wildlife at risk while degrading recreational experiences like hunting and fishing.

🚨Public lands exist for everyone, not for the powerful to carve up like a private buffet. Anyone trying to strip them away is not just stealing acreage. They are attacking the rights and dignity of the public itself.

ICE raids are escalating. Trump’s ICE is NOT detaining β€œdangerous criminals.” They are grabbing pregnant women, children, gardeners, home workers, street vendors, car wash workers, USA citizens. This must end #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

Platkin: They didn’t go to the mat to make sure people could eat. They didn’t go to the mat to make sure people could afford their health care. But they sure as hell made sure they could make hundreds of thousands of dollars on our backs based on some bogus theory of how they were harmed.

I am praying for the Rev. Jesse Jackson whose courageous voice and transformational ministry I’ve admired since childhood. Strength and grace to him in this season.

Sen. John Kennedy on Epstein: "I just don't think this issue is gonna go away until it's addressed and answered to the American people's satisfaction. And I may end up with a Sombrero on my head for saying that, but that's the way I see it."

I will repeat this every single day for the next three years: Any Democrat running for president in 2028 must pledge to immediately tear down/bulldoze/demolish Trump’s ballroom and fully restore the East Wing and any other piece of the People’s House Trump has or will destroy.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

How much is a trillion dollars? If he started with a trillion and spent a million dollars EVERY DAY since Christ was born, Elon would still have 261 billion left over. #NoTrillionaires #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

A tweet from MeidasTouch (@MeidasTouch) reads:
β€œEPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: Newly released emails show Jeffrey Epstein told Ghislaine Maxwell that Donald Trump β€˜spent hours at my house,’ β€˜knew about the girls,’ and β€˜that dog that hasn’t barked is trump.’”
Below is a screenshot of two redacted email exchanges labeled β€œEmail #1.” The text notes they are direct correspondence between Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

No wonder Bondi and Patel tried so hard to prevent the release of the Epstein files.

Under the Big Ugly Bill, Alphabet gets $17.9B in tax breaks. That could pay for SNAP benefits for 7.5 million Americans.

Amazon gets $15.7B. That could lower ACA premiums for 2.4 million people.

Microsoft gets $12.5B. That could cover Medicaid for 3.8 million children.

Kim Davis is so angry that the Supreme Court failed to uphold her deeply held religious belief that "marriage is sacred," she's threatening to get three MORE divorces.

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.

Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

In the last month, the FBI has charged players from two different leagues for roles in sports-betting scandals.

Either legalized gambling is exposing corruption that’s always been there.

Or it’s creating it.

Either answer is terrible for sports.
