Soooo - I'm never going to buy another book written by someone who should have TOLD the TRUTH straight up at the time.

Instead, they 'save up their "gotcha's" for an eventual $$$-producing tell-all book'.

Tapper, Nuzzi & Michael Wolff all fall into this camp -ESPECIALLY serial-gotcha-guy Wolff.

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

This article gets things largely right, but there’s an in-between state for producers like me where you would have something that would now be illegal where it wasn’t before. This would ruin businesses like mine, even tho we don’t do any of the shenanigans they’re trying to prevent.

Start HERE if you want to better understand the latest McConnell chicanery Sunday night around hemp production.

(Pro tip: It is NEVER "about the children" & frequently about which palms/pockets get filled...)
I'm a member of many hemp industry organizations that are all freaking out right now. One, the Midwest Hemp Council, has this helpful answer to the question everyone is asking: Why is the Senate going after hemp now? Basically a bullshit campaign from market competitors and prohibitionists.

Thanks, buddy.

So here's where we are, Sunday morning:

Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases.

So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care.

My mom's generation washed & saved old margarine tubs or Cool-Whip containers.

Yuck!

Meanwhile, I'm all about the reusable Bonne Maman glass jars & their screw-on lids.

They can work as drinking glasses, hold makeup brushes or Q-Tips, store dry goods, or Mr BRC's BBQ sauce holiday giveaways.
