This will get lost in the news, but Trump has repeatedly normalized corruption and bribery.

Our President is a crook who has accepted billions of dollars in bribes and has abused his pardon authority to free other crooks (like Eric Adams) who are his supporters.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding.

Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.
Hundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical care
Hospital officials told CBS News the closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates.

Fox is not journalism. It’s anti-journalism. The more you watch, the less you know. Here’s an example of Fox disinformation cited by the New York Times:

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.

Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Trump & Administration do not care about the American people, all these false narratives are nothing more than justification to find dollars for their tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations.

They’re not trying to improve education, literally everything is becoming the responsibility of the States.

How irrelevant is Valentina Gomez? She got 7% of the vote in a Republican primary…in red Missouri.

She does this shit to get attention. She’s disgusting and loathes her own community and people. She’s a Columbia immigrant herself. She’s begging for attention. Poser. Loser.

I just signed the first bill of the year: lowering costs for small grain buyers.
 
Prosperity for our ag community is not a partisan issue. I’m glad to see legislators come together in a bipartisan way to get this done.

While the Russian Useful Idiot in the White House is busy claiming bullshit wartime authority to further his efforts destructing Democracy, just a reminder that everything he has said is a lie & everything that he says going forward will be a lie. As for his enablers, screw them.
