Now entered the IDGAF phase of my life. Zero tolerance for Trump supporters. You support Nazis. You're dead to me.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?
Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

Something to bookmark:
Potash is essential for modern agriculture.
**Eighty percent** of the potash used on American farms comes from mines in *Saskatchewan*.

Trump won’t admit it, but Canadian potash fuels American agriculture
More than 80 per cent of the potash used by U.S. farmers comes from Canadian mines, and the costs could skyrocket should tariffs happen

The RNC chair says it again -- the only function of the RNC is voter suppression and election subversion. It is time to take him literally and seriously.

IL Gov. Pritzker is one of the great leaders of our time. You can watch his full IL budget address here. If you forward to the 26 minute mark, you can watch as he shifts to a dire warning about the direction our country is taking, but also words of hope. We should all take heed.

Even if you *agree* with Trump that we should greatly prioritize our own problems, you should support foreign aid. For a fraction of our budget, we can reduce the sorts of problems abroad that can eventually make it to our borders.

The Washington Post rejected an ad buy calling for Donald Trump to “Fire Elon Musk.” The reason? The paper won't say.
"We asked why and they said they couldn't give us a reason," the head of one of the groups attempting to run the ad told me.

The Post's Ad Blocker
Two groups struck a deal for an anti-Elon Musk ad—but just before publication, the Jeff Bezos-owned paper abruptly pulled a key part of it, offering no explanation.
