The Trumps aren’t just using their family name to make money.

Their companies have received almost a billion $$ in federal contracts – a shocking and unprecedented display of corruption.

The Trump administration approved three new “forever chemical”-based pesticides last week for use on food crops, including corn and soybeans — the most widely grown crops in the country — as well as wheat, kiwi, oats, peas, broccoli and coffee.

These new chemicals — diflufenican, epyrifenacil, trifludimoxazin — have all been quietly approved without a standard press release.

Trump approved other PFAS-based pesticides cyclobutrifluram and isocycloseram earlier this year, and the first food use of chlormequat — which is already found in 90% of Americans’ blood.

An EPA scientist wrote in the approval documents that at least one of these new PFAS-based pesticides is “suggestive evidence of carcinogenic potential.”

These approvals come just days after the Supreme Court sided with chemical maker Bayer and the Trump administration in limiting Americans’ ability to sue pesticide companies for harms linked to pesticides.

Now, Americans will have a harder time holding companies accountable for the cancer-causing effects of their pesticides.

The US mows roughly 12 million acres of roadside every year. That's larger than the state of Maryland, maintained as mowed grass that feeds almost nothing, at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

North Carolina figured out a better use for it in 1985. What started as 12 experimental acres of native wildflowers planted along roadsides has grown to 1,500 managed acres across the state, saving an estimated $200,000 a year in mowing costs while providing habitat for pollinators, birds, and the beneficial insects that control crop pests on nearby farms.

A 2024 BioScience review found something surprising to many: a mown safety strip immediately adjacent to the pavement, with native wildflowers planted in the wider verge beyond it, actually reduces insect mortality by keeping pollinators on one side of the road rather than crossing it.

12 million acres is an enormous amount of potential habitat that currently does almost nothing. The fix isn't complicated. It's mostly just stopping the mower in the right places.

So ask yourself this question. Mamdani is not just a phenomenon of a political talent but he has learnt from Obama that patriotism is the life blood of leadership. As is joy and hope. Any National Dem could have chosen today to make a speech to the nation. Where are Jeffries or Schumer? Newsom, Shaprio, Pritzker, Ossoff et al. Nature abhors a vacuum and the mayor of NYC has taken the leadership of the opposition to the administration and will hold it until someone else does so. He is using his legal inability to run for the highest office as an advantage to be the national voice of the party through influence rather than ambition. He’s exceptionally good at it.

We just got three million eggs donated to North Carolina food banks.

Why?

Because three major producers coordinated to inflate egg prices, we caught them, and part of the settlement requires directly helping people with this donation.

They can't rig the market anymore, and thousands of families who need eggs will get them.

The biggest buyers of these Trump crypto frauds are Arab sheiks who bought knowing that they'll lose 100% of their investment but it was intended as legalized bribe to buy policy favors from Trump.

It's bribery and treason

One of the craziest stats of 2025: Trump made more from crypto than Coinbase.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Another Trump potential self-enrichment scheme, in plain sight.

Step 1: Trump buys upwards of $5 million in Axon stock, a company that makes tasers, at ~$440 a share.

Step 2: ICE seeks to buy $220 million worth of Axon tasers 2 weeks later. The stock jumps to $520/share.

Step 3: Trump profits, again.

If you invested $10,000 in Trump coin on January 20th, 2025, it would be worth $415 today.

You lost everything. He made half a billion.
