In the first quarter of 2025, farm bankruptcies increased by 95%

Remember: the policies leading to bankruptcy are purposeful. Our food supply is in danger…there is no better way to bring a country to its knees than having control of its food supply.

Don’t tell me about peace that Putin wants. Do not dare.

If you don’t think this administration is so incompetent or callous as not to do this, you haven’t been paying attention.

Zack Beauchamp (@zackbeauch
...) posted on X about a man, Alvarado, sent to a Salvadoran torture camp for having an autism awareness tattoo honoring his brother. Alvarado’s sister, Maria, said he has no ties to Tren de Aragua and taught swimming to kids with disabilities. Despite this, ICE detained him in February due to his tattoos, as they were targeting people with tattoos. Maria emphasized Alvarado’s good character, noting the family’s devastation over his unjust detention.

In an interview, Paul Krugman breaks down Trump’s tactics—propaganda is his game, and he’s poised to destroy the economy. Meanwhile, his voters are getting seriously scammed. It’s a harsh reality, but they’re too caught up to see it.

Paul Krugman: Trump Voters Are Already Getting “Brutally Scammed”

The Nobel laureate explains why the good economy Trump is inheriting is already forcing him to fabricate fake rationales for his coming tariffs and deportations—and how his voters will be the losers.

From cozying up to dictators like Putin to switching positions and parties as soon as it's politically advantageous, the only quality of Tulsi Gabbard's you can rely on is her selfish thirst for power. That makes her a very dangerous pick to lead our national intelligence.

He praised the owner of the platform. The owner then reposted it to his over 200 million followers and used his algorithm to boost it just like he did to manipulate the election. And the take on that it is, ‘look how many people agree with me that Musk is right.’ Pretty damn sad.
