CALIFORNIA: “Crops ready to be harvested were abandoned - left to die in a field simply because there wasn’t enough labor… workers are showing up less because of (Trump’s) ICE raids.”

With ICE on our streets, many of our Latino small businesses are seeing noticeably less foot traffic this holiday season.

If you can, show up for our neighbors by shopping local at places like Mercado Central - home to dozens of vibrant mom and pop shops.

A great day to cut the ribbon on the New Ulm National Guard Readiness Center.

I served out of the old site as a guardsmen myself - I know this upgrade was much needed. The men and women of the 1-125 FA will be better equipped to answer any call that comes their way.

The Trump censorship complex strikes again. Trump’s corporate collaborators suppress reports on his international network of human rights violators. Sometimes democracy dies in broad daylight.

Washington’s refusal to regulate AI is a corruption story. Just ask Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson.

Just finished PT with the Navy SEALs for 90 minutes (I'll post some photos when I get them). They took it easy on me and I still feel like I got hit by a freight train.

So grateful to all of our warriors who keep us safe and keep the highest standards anywhere in the world!

The Trump administration must obey the law and release the Epstein files in full. The American people deserve the truth.

This is what we’ve been warning about.

Trump’s attacks on the media are having their intended effect: increasingly compliant elements of the corporate media are unwilling or afraid to take him on — which poses a direct threat to a free press.

The news organization said the segment about the El Salvador prison where the Trump administration sent deportees needed additional reporting.

If Trump supposedly “kicked Epstein out of his club for being a creep,” the question then becomes, ‘what did he know, and how did he know it?’

So what did Trump know? And when and how did he know it?

As we come to the end of a very difficult year I wanted to say a few words about *some* of the issues that, with your help, I will focus on next year.

At the top of my list:

- Campaign finance reform
- Income & wealth inequality 
- The rapid deployment of AI
- Medicare for All

It’s not just Gaza.

Netanyahu’s extremist government is supporting the violent annexation of Palestinian land in the West Bank. This is illegal and immoral, and decades of American silence have enabled it.

NO MORE MILITARY AID FOR NETANYAHU.
