The daughter of one of our close friends was critically wounded in the Minneapolis school shooting today. Please pray for her recovery, and if you are able, contribute to the family. They are amazing, caring and loving people. https://t.co/Ve4fJ0O0uL
Guess what? I worked 12 hour days on a commercial rutabaga farm in Maine when I was 20 harvesting rutabagas by hand. Bent over all day. It hurt to stand up.
When it got dark we’d bring the rutabagas into the barn, and wash, wax, and box them up. Up at 5:30am the next morning, we’d deliver them to the local grocery store before going back to the field all day.
It was 2005. I was right out of high school. I was a US citizen. Not an illegal in sight. It was hard work, but good for me. Americans can do jobs like this, and in time, we’ll use tech to help us.
We don’t need an illegal, indentured agri slave class. We don’t need to lose our country to the cowards in the Chamber of Commerce. Put Americans to work!

Happy Flag Day! 🇺🇸
Let us honor the emblem of our nation and the stars and stripes that unite us all. As we display our nations flag and reflect on the values it represents, let’s celebrate the freedom, courage and resilience that makes our country great.
The situation in the Gaza Strip is increasingly worrying and painful. I renew my heartfelt appeal to allow the entry of dignified humanitarian aid and to bring an end to the hostilities, whose heart-rending price is borne by children, the elderly, and the sick.

@irunguhoughton Happy Birthday!! In my memories, you don’t look a day over 29. I pray that life has treated you well over the roughly 30 years since we worked together.
Now this is what I call a speech. Charlie Angus 🇨🇦 Absolutely nails it.
I am now convinced this is about much more that tariffs. I’m beginning to believe that the oligarchs WANT to set fire to the global economy. They are actively seeking a global economic ‘End of days’
They literally want to deregulate the global economy. Forget WW3, this is going to be Darwinism on steroids.
People around the world are going to die for no other reason but to satisfy the ego of a man who takes pleasure from the suffering of people who to him haven’t earned the right to live.

David Frum On Zelensky: “I think he just shames them. He just shames them. Every time @JDVance looks at Zelensky, he sees a better man. And he hates it because it’s some level, if you’re a JD Vance you have to know what you are…”
