I see a lot of my Republican colleagues are pretending to be alarmed by the national debt. Give me a break.
Those concerns would have been useful before they voted for a bloated defense budget, blank checks for a lawless ICE operation, and tax breaks for the richest of the rich.
Trump and his sold out to foreign countries and special interests team are America LAST!!!
They won’t get their lobbying jobs and future rich deals if they pass the Prime Act.
They refuse to help the very people who stood hours in line at Trump rallies.
They hate them.
Bringing back COUNTRY OF ORIGIN LABELING on beef can improve prices for buyers while helping US ranchers.
If foreign meat is labeled, buyers who value domestic beef will pay a premium for USA, while indifferent buyers can purchase cheaper foreign meat.
If Trump really wanted to lower beef prices he would support Massie’s PRIME Act which allows individual states to permit local custom slaughterhouses to sell individual cuts of meat directly to consumers, restaurants, and grocery stores within that same state. But instead the Big Four major meat processors in America control over 85% of the market and consequently the cost of processing meat is high. But with Massie’s PRIME Act, small processors would be allowed to compete and would drive down costs. It would also help smaller meat producers to sell their beef to local markets.
And we need Country of Origin labeling for foreign imported and foreign processed meats. Americans deserve to know where the meat they are buying to feed themselves and their families is coming from, and we have the right to reject it based on its country of origin.
Both of these I cosponsored and are Republican sponsored bills, why won’t the Republican controlled Congress pass these bills?
Why won’t the Republican elected President support these legislations which are America First?
The answer is the Big Four meat processors and their well paid lobbyists roam the halls of congress and get to go to meetings and fundraisers at the White House and YOU don’t!
What a slap in the face to American cattlemen & consumers. Worse than socialism! Dumping foreign beef in U.S. markets can temporarily lower prices but it won’t incentivize American farmers to raise more beef. Bring back Country Of Origin Labels & pass my PRIME Act.
59 years of predatory occupation.
1,049 days of genocide.
7 governments.
One statement.
Zero sanctions.
And it even misses the international law obligation: per the ICJ 2024 Advisory Opinion, it's the occupation itself -not just the E1 plans- that must end.
So: Cut trade now.
I am going to be so proud to call her Senator. We have to do everything we can to get her over the finish line.
Congratulations on your nomination @AngieNixon. It has been the honor of my life to campaign alongside you and fight for the Florida we deserve.
Onward to November 3!
A new investigation reveals Amazon has destroyed 1,000 rare books to scan them into a system that trains AI models.
The Amazon team in charge of book destruction uses a logo featuring a T-Rex eating a book.
Apparently Kushner and Netanyahu have agreed on a path forward for the Gaza plan, and I am once again asking, under whose authority is Kushner acting?
They are discussing using nuclear weapons on Iran in strategy meetings.
Yes you read that correctly. It’s real. I’m not speculating, I know.
And it’s pure evil.
The last time a nuclear weapon was used was August 6th and 9th of 1945 on two cities in Japan, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, immediately killing 110,000 people, vaporizing people at ground zero, and total deaths reached 214,000 by the end of the year from severe burns and trauma.
But the extreme suffering continued for the Japanese people from radiation sickness, skyrocketing cancer rates, and generational birth defects.
Not to mention wiping out all means of their economy.
And the suffering was so great that all of humanity vowed, “never again.”
Trump and his admin were told by our own intelligence that Iran was no where near creating a nuclear weapon, then Israel said the same line it’s repeated for decades, “Iran is only weeks away.”
So we bombed anyways, killed their leaders and innocent little children in a school, and Iran has controlled the Strait of Hormuz ever since and punished the region for their part in it.
And now our government is the one actually discussing lowering the nuclear threshold in order to use nuclear weapons against Iran even though Trump claims he’s won the war like 40 times and says the U.S. controls the SoH.
Trump promised no more foreign wars, but may actually be the one who delivers a nuclear holocaust that would likely drag the entire world into major conflict, economic depression, and mass human suffering we’ve never seen in our lifetimes and maybe throughout history.
People need to speak out and boldly stop this insanity.
America is not untouchable.
If and when that happens, everyone, and I do mean everyone, will hold ALL of those in leadership right now fully responsible for the rest of human history.
Do not use nuclear weapons and stop this war NOW.
Tim Dillon: “They’re building a web of surveillance unlike anything that has ever existed.”
“And if you don’t think this will be used on you … you’re crazy.”
“Flock cameras.”
“Facial recognition.”
“Biometric eye scans.”
“Everything you type into Google.”
“All your text messages.”
“Every email.”
“Every phone call.”
“Your physical location with your phone camera.”
“This is all being done, and by the way, at a breakneck pace.”
“All of this stuff, the Flock cameras … it’s not coming to just make you safe.”
“They don’t care if you’re safe.”
“All of it is coming to build a surveillance grid that is like nothing else that has ever existed.”
“You will not be able to find a comparable in history for the level of surveillance that they’re going to employ.”

Susan Collins failed for months to disclose up to nearly $400,000 in stock transactions, violating the STOCK Act.
Mainers deserve to know whether their senator is looking out for them—or her own stock portfolio.
After winning the Teacher of the Year award at a conference in TX, UMD Professor Kibret was detained by ICE at the airport.
3 weeks later he’s still in custody.
He’s not the “worst of the worst” & detaining him isn’t making our communities safer. He should be released, now.
