Ohio soybean farmers left high and dry as Trump’s tariff tornado obliterates China market Not a single bushel sold to China this year as tariff wars devastate Ohio's agricultural economy, leaving farmers facing potential federal bailout

Cleveland.com this is not “shocking”. It’s an “I told you so” from most economists.

^^What she said

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

Higher education was one of our biggest “exports”. And international students are a huge asset to a university’s culture and learning environment. It’s a tremendous loss.

I’ve pondered whether info in the Epstein files is what Trump has been using to blackmail people to do his bidding. Maybe he doesn’t want them released because yes, he’s in them but worse (because he can do whatever he wants without consequences), he would lose all his leverage.

Oh. So that’s why they killed the detainees and not the ICE officers? Makes sense. 🧐

Sure it did *wink*

CNN article about a man freed from prison by DNA evidence that belonged to a different man convicted of “armed kidnapping and forced copulation.”

What?!?! Are we trying to make RAPE sound less violent?

His speech got fantastic reviews from all the people who couldn’t hear it.

You need to shut it down

Shut the fucking government down

#shutitdown

Hey @schumer.senate.gov SHUT IT DOWN. The time for “bipartisanship” is long gone. We need strength. #shutitdown #shutitdownschumer

The time for that has passed. Strong (and probably painful) actions are required.

I’d like both parties to be responsible and act like adults but that is not happening.

Restraint has not worked for a very very long time. It is past time to try a new strategy and a shutdown is what we need.

Why does this need to be in schools? Why can’t churches do this within their faith and faith communities? If not, could other faiths have alternative programs districts can choose from?

Wonder who all has shares of that drug manufacturer……

Not saying it couldn’t be helpful but I look at anything this Admin supports with great suspicion.

It’s saving tons of money on landscaping and trash pickup.

He did not whistle. Shame on you NPR! You’re better than this.

The courts struck down ours in Ohio but we still have them

Pritzker is a legitimate Presidential candidate possibility. He’s not the right person to troll but a few more influential voices should definitely join in. It’s a pressure campaign with legs.

I’m not understanding how removing the ‘cracker’ and the barrel is “woke”? Would keeping them and putting the guy in a Klan hood be more acceptable? What is the source of the outrage? What are we wokifying, exactly?

I would never stop talking. This would be even more exhausting than just thinking all the things - and that is extremely exhausting already.

You could do it with a little practice. And it would be scathing!

I wish more people would mock Trump like this. A groundswell of mockery using his own schtick would make him apoplectic.

I saw this headline and immediately knew one of those Senators was the Honorable @kentsmith.bsky.social

And find that cool project you started months ago but never finished. Start working on that project and leave the craft room half done? That is my tradition.

Tariffs on imported brain worms caused the price to spike and the hospital systems can’t get enough of them to inject into all their patients.
