John Deere got this video taken off our YouTube for two weeks. It took our lawyers reaching out to YouTube to get it back up.

The video lays out how a handful of corporations took control of the agriculture industry, bankrupting farmers and screwing us all over.

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.

His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

David Ellison reportedly told Trump he’d make “sweeping changes” to CNN if Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros. gets approved.

Meanwhile, Jared Kushner and three Middle East countries are backing the bid — while Kushner advises Trump on foreign policy.

Also, most importantly: It was an attempt to overthrow the democratically elected government of the United States.
Reminder about Jan 6:

it really happened
It was a horror
140+ police were injured
A range of violent weapons were used by attackers
Chants to hang Mike Pence were heard
There was a gallows and guns
Pipe bombs diverted police as mob approached

1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal.

You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government.

It says it right in the Constitution.
Kushner’s Moscow mission wasn’t just corrupt. It was unconstitutional.
Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, has been traveling the world to participate in high-stakes foreign policy negotiations on behalf of the president.

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

Except that’s what everyone on the right was doing before we learned it was the Trump admin that granted him asylum - and most are still doing it. If only Republicans would blame the shooters more often instead of trying to use deranged acts by individuals for political gain.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:

1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.

2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.

3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Tech lobbyists have long blocked commonsense online rules of the road, including for AI.

So states like Minnesota stepped up—passing laws to fight deepfakes and other abuses.

Now the Trump administration is trying to revoke these laws.

We must stand up and ensure AI is used safely.

Iraq/Afghanistan veteran here—My best friends are still on active duty, and we’ve been having conversations about this for months now. They know the right thing to do, but there are always those willing to say “yes sir” no matter what. I pray the number that say “no” is greater.

Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.

According to a new analysis by Democrats on the Joint Economic Committee, the average American family has paid more than $700 in higher costs per month since Trump took office.

Remember when Trump said he would end inflation on "day one"?
