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.

As Robert F Kennedy becomes Secretary of HHS we must remember that “Just asking questions” about vaccines, and casting doubt on well-established science could have fatal consequences.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at.

You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters.

Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten
This was the way.
