Home is SoCal, but my roots are Arkansas dirt-road-deep.
Agri is paramount to the overall well-being of AR, like in most Red states.
Why trip over a dollar to pick up a dime, and harm the whole state in the process?
Greed.

The Trump/Musk $1 billion USDA cuts will absolutely hurt families, schools, food banks, and local farmers across Arkansas.

Just look at the numbers.

The real question: Why hasn’t Gov. Sanders used her close personal relationship with President Trump to stand up for Arkansas farmers and families?

Canada is slashing its order of F-35 fighters from 88 to not more than 32. It will re-invest the billions saved to purchase 60 or more Swedish Saab Gripen E/F-39's. The USA is no longer a trustworthy ally. Simply.

The vast majority of people alive today have no idea of what the pre-vaccine era was like. Common childhood infections damaged lives: Blindness, deafness, paralysis, broken ribs from whooping cough & death from measles & diphtheria were facts of life www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Clearing the path for bank crypto scams
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of Elon’s effort to eliminate it is that Americans will have no recourse when they’re screwed over by a bank.

For well over a year, Reddit (especially women’s & non-Christian & LGBTQ subreddits) were overrun with HeGetsUs adverts. Massive amounts of $, social & political capital spent to deploy proselytisation as propaganda

“He’s not my president.”

No, but he is the president, like it or not (and I don’t).

I’m not leaving the arena. I’m a citizen and stakeholder in this government, same as the people who voted for him.

So are you.

Trump's "unconditional discharge" in his NY case - no punishment for his crimes - is a supremely unjust result. Some say it proves justice doesn't matter. I say the frustration, anger & disgust we feel at the absence of punishment for Trump's 34 felony crimes proves that to us, justice DOES matter.
