Trump: "Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars on oil. and then on top of it we have Venezuela, and we have Greenland! 'We're making trillions of dollars. But my people said 'please don't mention that, sir, because people are paying a little higher'... we're making a frickin' fortune"

On September 22, 1985, 80,000 people gathered in Champaign, Illinois, for the first Farm Aid. The show was put together in six weeks and raised over $7 million for America's family farmers.

Family farmers are facing increasing threats — from rising costs and climate impacts like extreme weather and sea level rise to land use pressures and policy uncertainty — that threaten their livelihoods, as well as the stability of the food system and the communities that depend on them.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Dolly Parton was the best of us.  She was an American treasure — a rare embodiment of talent, kindness, and generosity in equal measure.  We’ll always love you, Dolly.

A bunch of cops cheering at a political rally — in uniform — as the president and AG endorse a candidate and attack their political opponents is not normal. And it is not okay.

“in theater” is a crazy way to describe minneapolis

Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state? HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

Trump never had a fan base. He had an army of bots who sold his racism and misogyny and xenophobia to uneducated Americans who took voting advice from bald eagle profiles posting Tweets from Eastern Europe. It’s as stupid as it sounds.

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents. ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities. The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Trump promises a tariff which causes the market to have a negative stock reaction. The negative stock reaction causes Trump to back off. The market then predicts he will back off which prevents the negative stock reaction. The lack of a negative stock reaction makes Trump follow through...
