Our bill, the PRIME Act is the answer. @chelliepingree and I have been working on this together for over a decade now. A pilot program for it is in the House farm bill. Tell your Senators to put it in their farm bill. Better yet, let’s pass it as stand alone legislation!
🚨 BREAKING: Secretary RFK Jr. reveals that he fired the CDC vaccine chief because for 7 MONTHS Kennedy was BLOCKED from getting vaccine safety data.
This person also STONEWALLED money going to Texas to help with measles...he was a full-on TRAITOR, holy crap!
"I gave the order, I'm running this agency, how come nothing's happening?"
"And then we tried to get the vaccine safety data language - the data that supposedly the CDC tries to use to make good decisions on whether vaccines are hurting people and whether there are side effects. For 7 MONTHS, he stonewalled us so that we could not get that data!"
"He's also the individual that runs the VAERS system, which is the surveillance system for injuries that captures, according to CDC's own study, fewer than 1% of vaccine injuries. This is malpractice."
"These people are the people who ordered our children to walk around in masks. They're the people who closed our schools. They're the people who imposed social distancing with no science, shut down our businesses, and they need to GO."
"We need new blood, and we need new people who are committed to public health and integrity and gold standard science."
All the accounts that attacked Massie are now gushing over trump’s new position for Ranchers.
Massie has already introduced the Prime Act which does what Trump is Talking About.
But nobody talked about it then, nobody mentioned that there was already a bill that does just this. The pettiness is absolutely astounding.
The issue isn’t with processing. There isn’t some law that prevents a farmer from processing their own animals.
The issue is they can’t sell individual cuts of meat that they process.
All Trump has to do is endorse the Prime Act to actually fix this issue once and for all, but instead he will issue another meaningless executive order and pretend he fixed something he doesn’t even understand.
It’s called the PRIME Act and @RepThomasMassie already wrote it.
Trump is posting like he just had a genius revelation, but watch him authorize some watered down version with a MASSIVE LOOPHOLE so the meat monopolies don't actually lose a single dime!
Josh Shapiro was just asked why he claimed a newborn infant who died of a spleen rupture died due to being unvaccinated for measles:
"I don't think it serves the interest of public health for me to get into a back and forth about conspiracy theories showing up online."
I'm pretty sure what actually doesn't serve public health is a politician lying to score political points because he wants to run for President.
Leave the Amish alone. They aren’t lobbying, rioting, or demanding everyone else change. They’re a quiet, self-reliant community that builds their own schools, grows their own food, and asks only to raise their children in their faith.
New York already stripped religious exemptions, then piled massive fines on private Amish schools for non-compliance. That’s not public health. That’s coercion against people who opt out of the system.
Religious liberty that only applies when it’s convenient isn’t liberty. If the state can bankrupt communities for living their beliefs, then the First Amendment is theater. Let them live in peace. That’s the American deal.
Fact check (because apparently most people are too dumb to realize this):
He has no authority to simply "create documents" that let farmers process on their own. That's something that needs congressional approval. More importantly, what he's proposing already exists. I already buy my cows from a local rancher who has it processed locally. It's still USDA inspected. It just comes back with a special stamp on it that points out it can't be resold.
Once again, Trump is doing absolutely nothing except offering performative theatre to cool the anger of rightfully outraged ranchers that have been decimated by his policies. It's more bread and circuses.
Sad thing is, they'll probably fall for it.
We can always process our own meat. We can’t sell by the cut… and many of us don’t have the ability or the infrastructure. What needs to happen is allowing custom cut sales by the cut.
Trump is fucking lying to and about Ranchers again:
- He CANNOT “authorize documents” that let ranchers sell their own processed meat. That’s federal law. Needs Congress.
- Custom slaughter already exists. The meat comes back stamped NOT FOR SALE: still needs USDA inspection.
- He has no plan just looking save his own ass while a loyal constituency continues take hits.
This is great, but it should be a law, not just an executive order. My PRIME Act has dozens of bipartisan sponsors in the House & Senate. A pilot program for it is in the House farm bill. Pass the PRIME Act so consumers can get affordable U.S. beef and farmers can flourish! 🇺🇸🥩
The Amish are trending, so let me say this loud:
They work. They build. They farm. They raise families. They help their neighbors. They mind their damn business.
In a country addicted to outrage, screens, and drama, maybe the “old-fashioned” people figured out a few things the rest of us forgot.
Respect the Amish. 🇺🇸
A Texas constable unplugged every flock camera in his county. He said it was necessary for “privacy and freedom”
Every sheriff in America should uphold the Constitution and remove every flock camera within their county.
It’s already legal to process our beef. It comes with a big stamp that says Not For Sale. Unless we can sell beef without being restricted by the usda this means absolutely nothing. He’s blowing smoke up our ass.
Kathy Hochul’s New York State is fining the Amish over $100,000 DOLLARS because of their tyrannical vaccine mandates. They’re legally abusing the only people in America who don’t bother anyone. Absolute Psychopath.
