That feels about right to me. I think industry titans like #ADM and #Nestle represent the intersection of Corporate Food and Corrupt Politics. It's a continuum.
Among 18-29 Year Old Men - "Which of the following do you blame for the increased cost of groceries?" (Pick 2)
Trump's Tariffs: 49%
Corrupt Politics: 39%
Corporate Food Manufacturers: 38%
Grocery Stores: 18%
Other: 11%

Johnson’s district is poorer than most in the country, with a median household income of $48,618, compared to $55,416 statewide and $74,755 nationally. His constituents rely more heavily on federal programs and could be impacted by drastic cuts in aid or federal shutdown.

AOC is a unique talent. She is cogent and compelling. She needs to enter congressional leadership now.
AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

It was common knowledge among the ultra-wealthy that #Epstein was a #pedophile. They chose to remain silent to maintain access to celebrity, wealth, and power. I find joy in the fact that they are all living in terror of the moment they will inevitably be exposed.

So far, the air alert in #ElPaso has been called off. They claim cartels are flying drones in US territory. That feels like the beginning of a false narrative to justify incursion into #Mexico. Why would they scramble so many military aircraft other than to create a sense of urgency, and fear?!

The #FAA closed the airspace around #ElPaso airport for 10 days for a "national defense issue". That's on the US-Mexico border. I believe this presages a "Hail Mary" attempt to distract attention from the #EpsteinFiles by attacking #Mexican #cartels. He's desperate

It's the ultimate irony that the Right demands their 2nd amendment right to arm themselves against a tyrannical government, when they enable the tyrants they claimed to oppose. Now they want to prevent the Left from carrying guns to defend themselves against the tyranny of the Right. Hypocrites.
