We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that gives meaning to the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as the future.

Most US agricultural exports to China are now subject to some sort of tariff.
US farmers lost $27bn in sales in the last trade war with China; but were compensated $23bn
With DOGE slashing government programs, it's unclear whether they will be compensated this time.
