The Fox Mob Wife forgets that Social Security (which I have paid into as an employee, self-employed person, and employer, starting in '66) and Medicare are supported by payroll taxes.

I don't think Qualls will admit Trump lost in 2020 either. See a pattern?

Has @RepFinstad reacted to the FOX report that #FarmBankruptcies could get worse as forecasted sector-wide debt to surge to a record $624.7 billion this year.

#Minnesota led the country in #FarmBankruptcies during the first quarter of 2026, as #Minn #farmers have already filed for double the amount for the entire year of 2024.

#MN01 @RepFinstad's solution #HR8104 Fertilizer Transparency Act of 2026 is being ignored in the #Ag Comm

Planting my pole beans today. Thought of this lovely Yeats poem, memorized in high school.

Could higher ethanol blends solve this?

Republicans can never just lose,
It’s a truth they will always refuse,
They bleat out the slogan,
“It had to be stolen,”
While they whine over several stale brews.

Here's looking at you, @LisaDemuthMN and @Highway_30.

[Steve Timmer 📷🇺🇦 🇵🇸 🇱🇧 @stevetimmer]

Royce (@Highway_30) is going to use the 'clicker' problem (Mom used to call the teevee remote the 'clicker') as an explanation for why he got shellacked at the convention.

Republicans never lose; they are just cheated.

It is possible that the historically scandal-plagued @MnGOP stiffed the vendor and got what they paid for.

It's not like it'd be the *first* time those Republican Deadbeats stiffed a vendor - landlord - event venue...

Yo, @deccduluth - you *did* collect cash up-front, yes?

#FinstadWatch

It isn't only the expenses that @RepFinstad has authorized for his #ChiefOfStaff, but #MN01 taxpayers paid him a salary of $54,999.99 for the three months.

FYI #BradFinstad's annual salary is $174,000; his employee is on track to be paid $220,000.

Iowa farm bankruptcies skyrocketed recently thanks to the MAGA loving, tariff loving, Iran war loving Republican cowards, @ZachNunn, @RepMMM, @RepAshleyHinson, and @RandyFeenstra, who won't speak out against Trump's anti-farmer policies.

Vote them out! Vote BLUE!

The nation and the world heap obloquy on Grandpa Donnie -- who should clearly have his keys taken away -- but @walterhudson and his fellow travelers hang in there.

This one didn't age well. The White House reported yesterday (5/25) that a peace deal was 'not imminent.'

And Wally, is the Straight of Hormuz open or closed?
