Across the U.S., farmers are struggling. Prices for nearly every major crop are below what it costs to grow them. Farmers in Mississippi are perhaps worse off than farmers in the rest of the country. Rice is one of their biggest crops, and almost no one is buying.

I had no idea of the scale of the massacre in Iran: people in hospital, secret police show up and shoot them in the head in their beds. Horrifying. This regime that Russia works with, and, by extension, the Trump regime allows to help destroy Ukraine.

Donald Trump is a shambling moron, incredibly erratic, stupid, and dangerous, but Stephen Miller is the architect of the terror in American streets & the diabolical puppet master behind the throne. Republicans could end Miller's reign of terror in just days. 1/2

His hands were on the pavement when he was shot.
He never had his hand on a weapon.

This is extortion, and Pam Bondi — who only has this job because she takes bribes — should be impeached and prosecuted.
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
