The funding bill will kill the hemp industry if it's passed as is, but hemp does so much more than get people high. ⬇️ #SaveHelp #SupportSmallBusiness
We need the hemp industry to grow. Many many products can be made from hemp that could replace plastic products.
And we need more hemp processing facilities here in the US. 💥🇺🇸👊

My quote of the day
As I reflect on my life, I recognize that our greatest achievements often arise from our most profound struggles. Embrace challenges and view failures as opportunities for growth. It is through these trials that we learn, adapt, and ultimately succeed.

We’re getting multiple reports that independents in Chester County, Pennsylvania (a Democratic-leaning area) have been left off the voter rolls. They’re being told to fill out provisional ballots, the same ones MAGA often tries to claim shouldn’t be counted.

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million.
If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000.
Watching working class conservatives and politicians completely meltdown about this is wild.
