No, Democrats, these little auction signs aren't it. You're acting like Wes Anderson characters who don't understand that they're in a Tarantino movie.

I’m headed to a corn and soybean farm in Cannon Falls to hear about the impact of Trump’s tariffs on Minnesota farmers.
Farming is a tough job, and it certainly isn’t made any easier by two out-of-touch billionaires cutting off economic opportunities.

Thank you, Bernie, for standing up and speaking up.
No. Now is not the time to play dead.
The Democrats have already played dead for too many years.
60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck. Millions of seniors are going hungry.
Now is the time to stand up for the working class of this country.

Anyone remember Chris Mooney's book, The Republican War on Science, published in 2006? Why is anyone surprised that there are outbreaks of measles, climate change denialism, etc.? Erasing scientific literacy has been a longtime goal of the far-right, and it sure is working!
