Trump 1.0's trade war with China hit US farmers hard, particularly in the soybean market, where tariffs created a new competitor in Brazil. Trump 2.0 is doubling down. Who stands to benefit from farmers in disclosure? China, which already owns nearly 400,000 acres of US farmland.

If you are in a red district or state, call your representatives and senators and tell them that campaign finance reform is the way to stop the constant blackmailing from Trump, Musk, and other billionaire bros that they will get primaried if they don't comply.

Don’t support Black History Month? Day 5: Bigots, stop using anything shipped via refrigerated trucks. Frederick McKinley Jones received a patent for his refrigerated truck in 1940, one of 60 patents he received in his lifetime.

Don’t support Black History Month? Day 4: Bigots, stop benefitting from traffic lights. The 3 light traffic light as we know it was invented by Garrett Morgan with a patent awarded in 1924 for his yellow-light inclusive traffic light. Bigots, enjoy your crashes and higher insurance.

Don’t support Black History Month? Day 3: Bigots, stop using your home security system. An early home security system patent for a multi-element system was awarded to Marie Van Brittan Brown in 1969 with features used to this day in modern systems.

Don't support Black History Month? You bigots can stop benefitting from Black inventors. DAY 2: No more cataract surgery for bigots. Dr. Patricia Bath invented the laserphaco probe, a device and technique to remove cataracts. She also founded the American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness.

Don't support Black History Month? Time to insist that bigots not benefit from items invented by Black folk. DAY 1: GIVE UP YOUR PACEMAKER. Otis Boykin, who was born in 1920, was an engineer and avid inventor. One of his most notable inventions was a control unit that improved the pacemaker.

Think your US citizen family members, friends, and employees who have brown skin are safe from ICE? Think again. From 2015-2020 ICE arrested 674, detained 121, and removed 70 potential U.S. citizens. This doesn't include non-citizens who were here legally, either.

Heard via my youngest, who just dropped by to pick up know your rights cards, that ICE is knocking doors in Alexandria VA now. Alexandria is among the bluest parts of VA.

Have none of his inner circle mentioned to Agent Orange that Canadians, even "conservative" Canadians, would overwhelmingly vote blue?

4 years ago, we watched on live television as a violent mob stormed the Capitol, egged on by the sitting POTUS. We saw members of Congress instructed to don gas masks. We saw them evacuate. It wasn't a "day of love." Love doesn't erect a noose for the VP. Love doesn't smear shit.

The party whose scare tactics included the fake "War on Christmas" is trying a real War on Christmas for federal employees and federal contractors. Traveling by air? FAA and TSA employees won't be paid on time and might be a wee bit distracted. #GOPWaronChristmas.

The Google auto fill after "can a country reject" should be a surprise to no one. Will they reject these ambassadors? Probably not, because they are sent by a bully who controls a huge military.

Is there any House Rule prohibiting an individual from taking a leak in Mike Johnson's and Nancy Mace's offices as long as their "none of your damned business" bits aren't showing?
