The Netherlands is a leader when it comes to food production due to innovations in agricultural techniques which improve efficiency. Growing a kilogram of tomatoes in the Netherlands requires 9.1 liters of water. The global average is over 210 liters of water per kilogram. Original post

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

OBAMA: When I was president, all these Republicans are all deficits, deficits, debt, debt. You got to do something about it. And now—$40 trillion—Crickets. Somehow deficits only matter when a Democratic president is in office

Not for nothing but he's just making shit up, telling his audience that Omar is no longer in Congress when she most certainly is.

a spectacle of fascism as Trump demands Ilhan Omar resign and says Democrats have conceded her seat, and the 20-something dude bros behind him leap up and start cheering

Trump ran for president to give himself immunity from his many crimes, increase his net worth exponentially by obscenely profiting off the presidency, and ensure that he could get away with cheating on his taxes in the past, present and future. Oh, and to build a ballroom.

For cost of living buffs, home insurance prices have hugely outpaced the CPI. cepr.net/publications... Also, this increase understates the true rise because coverage has fallen by 11 pp. Those who dropped had the largest rises.

R.I.P., Tom Skerritt. He was one of my dream Random Roles interviews for years, but I never had the pleasure of chatting with him at all. Sure did love seeing him turn up in things, though.

Vance says he's "disgusted" with the Ohio race. To be clear, he's not "disgusted" Ramaswamy is siding with a woman who let her husband rape her 12-year-old daughter and pushing a lie so bad even National Review called him out. No, no. He's "disgusted" that some Republicans objected to the ad.

WOW -- Vance *defends* Vivek's reprehensible ad 👇 Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away. Do you think it was appropriate? JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern.

I honestly have no idea what he is talking about? “Foreign terrorists dominating the western United States”? Who? Where?

“.. The US refining industry is running the hardest **for this time of the year** in at least 25 years (ever?). October is when typically many plants go into seasonal maintenance, but that has been delayed due to eye-watering margins and the pressure from Trump.” - @javierblas.bsky.social ⛽️

I know I've been on this bullshit before and I know this is an audience that largely agrees but I just have to yell at this particular cloud today: it is an absolute failure on the part of major news organizations that we have so little reporting on the president's physical and cognitive health.

what is amazing is that i was fired by MSNBC for telling the truth about Charlie Kirk. And CBS refuses to do anything about journalists telling lies about Dem. candidates. Unreal.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?
