Our farmers have been hit with body blow after body blow by this Trump-Musk oligarchy.
This Administration is failing to live up to the promises it’s made to our farmers.

"When he said, 'I have the highest poll numbers of any Republican for the last 100 years,' that wasn’t just wrong, it was the opposite of reality:
At this point in their terms, every other GOP president since the dawn of modern polling has had more support than him."

Trump and his team pretend he’s riding a wave of popularity (but he’s not)
To defend Trump’s third term ambitions, the GOP keeps pointing to polls, which are a) irrelevant, and b) less impressive than they claim.

NEW: ACLU tells Judge Boasberg that he should reject the government's invocation of the state-secrets privilege, saying that it is "unaware of *any* case in which [it] has been invoked to withhold evidence from a court seeking to enforce its own orders." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
![PLAINTIFES' RESPONSE TO DEFENDANTS' INVOCATION
OF THE STATE SECRETS PRIVILEGE
INTRODUCTION
On March 25, the Court directed Plaintiffs to file their response, if any, to Defendants'
Notice Invoking the State Secrets Privilege (ECF No. 56).
Two threshold matters bear emphasis. First, Plaintiffs respectfully submit that the Court
already possesses the information it needs to conclude that its March 15 oral and written
temporary restraining orders were violated. The government has confirmed that "two flights carrying aliens being removed under the AEA departed U.S. airspace before the Court's minute order of 7:25 PM EDT, and before the Court's oral statements during the hearing." Decl. of Robert L. Cerna, Acting Field Office Director, ICE (ECF No. 49-1). The government has also confirmed that it is "not contest[ing] for the purposes of these proceedings that the planes landed
abroad, and that the aliens on board were deplaned, after the issuance of the Court's minute order." Defs. Notice Invoking State Secrets Privilege 7-8 (ECF No. 56) ("Defs. Notice"). These facts, standing alone, establish that the government failed to comply with both of the Court's (excerpt ends here)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qrllvid7s54k4hnwtqxwetrf/bafkreidlciwjzmtbb32wujmohhzouhugxpop6p7ek7fteffi6jb3u6nyby@jpeg)

Crucial point from @jenrubin.bsky.social: The Hegseth fiasco is on GOP Senators, and "concern" won't cut it anymore.
"If they're afraid to be challenged in a primary or have mean tweets put out about them, then they aren’t fit for public office."
