Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

In 1964, LBJ exploited the Gulf of Tonkin incident as a pretext for Vietnam.
In 1983, Reagan needed a pretext to invade Grenada to distract from his failures in Lebanon.
In 2003, GWB exploited 9/11 and lied about WMDs to occupy Iraq.
Trump needs a distraction from his pedophilia. How pathetic.

Lee Tesdell of rural Slater is one of just two farmers in Iowa who grow Kernza, a deep-rooted grain that boasts low inputs, nutritional grain and roots that are highly effective at absorbing nitrate before it can leach into waterways, Cami Koons reports.

I hope Chris Jones decides to run for Secretary of Agriculture in Iowa. After all, like Jon Green said, "At the end of the day, agriculture policy is too important to be left to the agriculture industry."

On Jack Smith deposition, now released:
100% obvious why GOP refused to allow this as open testimony, aired live. It's damning.
Testimony from John Dean or Alex ("wiretaps") Butterfield in Watergate days would have 1/10th the impact if just in print.
What Smith says is far more incriminating.

I found this video this morning. From what I’ve gathered, he was the limo (and stepfather) driver for tRump when tRump raped the girl that was murdered in Oklahoma after giving birth on the boat in Michigan. It was too long to post here, so it’s in three parts.

Zach Wahls, 34, is running for the US Senate seat held by Joni Ernst, whose most famous skill remains castrating pigs 🐷. Wahls has crossed 56 counties, logged 180 events, and is campaigning for Iowans, not billionaires.

Trump has increased dementia.
He needs to be monitored and the 25th Amendment needs to be enacted.
Repeating it over and over is PART of the DEMENTIA!
