If the farmers in Wis thought Trump was going to come to your state and talk about solutions to the problems and issues you are facing right now, you were sorely mistaken.
Because Trump doesn’t give a fuck about you. Never has never will. He wants your vote and money.
Experts say about 70,000 more people will die of hunger due to this administration's cuts to SNAP.
70,000 preventable deaths—all in exchange for huge tax breaks for billionaires.
I'm a professional insurance risk assessor, not an alarmist. It doesn't matter who you are or where you are, you need to be preparing for power outages and disaster recovery due to the coming El Niño and closure of the Strait of Hormuz. This is the overwhelming priority during the remaining window of relative stability.

"Thus, this is now the Putin/Orbán/Trump formula:
— Manufacture a crisis.
— Declare an “emergency.”
— Seize powers the Constitution doesn’t grant.
— Bypass Congress.
— Bully or ignore the courts.
— Use masked, secret police and the military against your own residents.
— Send people to foreign concentration camps.
— Build concentration camps within the United States.
— Prosecute lawyers and judges.
— Assert control over universities.
— Merge corporate and state interests.
— Cow the media into silence about your corruption and crimes.
— Then call it all “law and order.”"
Another great article by @Thom_Hartmann.
This hero is derailing Trump's juggernaut https://t.co/VNSltDnKoj
US Judge refers lawyers for the DOJ to a disciplinary committee for actions so severe it has shaken her faith in the Justice system, and she is a Trump appointee.
The issue stems from their conduct in a case involving a subpoena seeking the medical records of minor patients who received gender-affirming care at Rhode Island Hospital.
Apparently the DOJ went venue shopping to find a judge in Texas that would grant such a subpoena. The declaration filed by the DOJ was seriously misleading or blatantly false.
She further stated that the DOJ was unworthy of trust at every point in the case.
Ouch! Hope they get disbarred.
having dinner at a hotel bar the other night struck up a conversation with a mid-level United Healthcare exec. he told me he puts over $300,000 a year on his company credit card just for entertaining clients. In case you’re wondering why you can’t afford health insurance
He went from not releasing his tax returns to releasing them getting caught cheating and saying FU I can't be investigated again you suckers. Go ahead do business with a Trump in the future and see what happens.
266,000 jobs under Biden:
“slowed”
“muddled expectations”
“fell short”
172,000 jobs under trump:
“upswing”
“vigorous”
“strong sign for economy”
This is the double standard Dems have had to deal with for the past 10 years.
U.S. health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is pursuing federal government access to view most Americans’ medical records without their consent.

The New World screwworm fly is threatening the $113 billion U.S. cattle industry for the first time in more than a half century, with an infestation from its flesh-eating larvae confirmed in south Texas.

Staggering levels of corruption.
They’re using every possible lever of power to enrich themselves and their friends and families.
And the “party of fiscal responsibility” simply doesn’t care.
The screwworm program wasn't charity, it was a $10 million fence that kept a billion-dollar problem from eating our own livestock alive. That's the thing with most USAID funding: it looks like "aid," but it's really cheap self-defense. Solve a problem there, and it never lands on our doorstep. But sure, let a bunch of guys who can't define DEI without Googling take a chainsaw to it. They didn't stop to ask, "Will this cut hurt us too?" Unless that's the point, burn it all down and call it efficiency.
As usual our inept agriculture secretary, blaming the Biden administration as usual, instead of offering a solution to the problem they created.
Texan here
A screwworm infestation is a nightmare for cattle, causing horrific wounds and economic devastation. For Texas, the situation has escalated dramatically in the last 24 hours with the first confirmed case of New World Screwworm (NWS) in over 60 years! This could have been avoided!
Infested animal can kill a cow in less than two weeks.
Treatment is extremely difficult and time-consuming, requiring the painful removal of every visible larva and deep disinfection of the wound. Ranchers no longer have much experience with this labor-intensive process, and there is currently no approved pharmaceutical treatment to make it easier.
This has triggered a massive economic threat. The USDA estimates that a widespread outbreak would drain an astonishing $1.8 billion from the Texas economy alone in livestock deaths, labor, and medication expenses.
How will this affect you? Tightening supplies will drive already high beef prices higher.
