In Trump’s America, if you look at this failed reflecting pool paint job the wrong way, you get a 10 year prison sentence. But if you’re convicted of violently beating cops during a failed coup, you get a presidential pardon.
Bodycam footage just came out of a farmer speaking against a planned data center, being handcuffed at a city council meeting for going a few seconds over the 3-minute public comment limit.
Darren Blanchard was speaking in Claremore, Oklahoma when two officers told him to leave, followed him to the front as he tried to hand documents to the council, and cuffed him as the crowd booed. He's charged with criminal trespass, a $200 offense, and is fighting it as retaliatory.
The case has become a marker for the wider fight over data center construction, where residents increasingly clash with developers over water, power, utility rates and farmland. Blanchard's sharpest point is about democracy itself: if attending a public meeting can get you cuffed, the chilling effect reaches well beyond one Oklahoma town.
Trump is asking Congress for $11 billion to bail out farmers, and has the audacity to blame Biden for the losses.
Biden did not put a single tariff on the inputs farmers buy. Trump did, and when Trump taxed the world, the world hit back.
Trump’s tariffs closed markets to American farmers and drove up the cost of the equipment, seed, and chemicals they depend on. China retaliated with tariffs on soybeans and much more, and pulled back its purchases of American soybeans. China is the single biggest buyer of American soybeans on earth, and Trump handed that market away.
This is not the first bailout but the latest in a string of them.
This $11 billion adds to the $12 billion already sent to farmers this year. $23 billion and counting, all to patch a wound Trump inflicted himself.
We are now on track for roughly a third of all farm income in 2026 to come from government checks.
Also, nearly 40% of the last bailout flowed to the largest farms while small family operations went under. In 2025 alone, 15,000 farms closed, most of them small.
So when Trump says Biden did this, that is complete and utter nonsense, and everyone knows it.
Trump raised the costs, started the trade war, lost the markets, and is sending you the bill.
There is a record-breaking heat wave in Europe and hundreds are dying.
There is drought all across America and farmers are going out of business. Yet, Trump thinks climate change is a “hoax” and cuts funding for sustainable energy.
Insane. He is threatening the very future of our planet.
Unearthed audio: RFK Jr. pushes a third-party candidate to drop out in exchange for a taxpayer-funded position in the federal government:
“I can’t go into specifics because there’s legal prohibitions about that.”
Yesterday the White House touted the bill Trump now refuses to sign as "one of the most significant pieces of housing affordability legislation in American history."
Let’s be clear about what’s going on here: They knew this story would hit, may have even been the source. It’s an effort to intimidate people into thinking it’s too risky to work the polls, too risky to vote. Do not bend the knee here. If you haven’t already, register & volunteer
Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."
This is a very dark time for America. Mainstream Republican politicians speaking like old-school racists about a minority community while an all white crowd cheers and hoots.
The Supreme Court just made it easier for chemical companies to poison our families & farmers with cancer causing pesticides like glyphosate. Americans will die because of this horrific decision that puts corporate wealth ahead of our country’s health.
