Tomato pickers in Firebaugh CA earn 89¢ per 25lb bucket. Experienced workers average 170 buckets a day. Newer pickers only manage to harvest 90-110 buckets. "Joel" says "It's a very tough back-breaking job. Our hands start to swell from the 25lb buckets in each hand." #WeFeedYou

HILARIOUS She wants a Scarlett Johanson type to be cast.

Bread and Circuses !

Happy to see that Fatass' rally in San Antonio has been interrupted by protesters 3 times in the first few minutes !

Dateline Ruby Red Kansas Are these numbers bad? "Trade policy is another concern among rural lenders. According to the survey, 79% of bankers said tariffs are negatively affecting agriculture and livestock economies in their areas."

"Tragically, Trump’s Republican supporters in Congress either cheer him on or remain dismayingly silent while Trump does serious damage to the economy and to the finances of millions of struggling families. Americans shouldn’t forget this when they vote in November’s midterm elections."

"At the foundry, three massive graphite electrodes power a 75-ton electric arc furnace to melt solid steel scrap. The team had just 24 hours and six melts to get it right, and each melt had only a 20-minute window before the molten steel cooled and formed a hard crust." youtu.be/pfAh5oQDPDM

"Oil will come dropping down as soon as Iran gives up, as soon as the war is over, which will be soon. Prices for groceries have come way down for Biden. Almost every price has come way down. And remember one thing -- oil is less expensive now than it was under the Biden administration."

Looks like the guy with that squirrel tale on his head was serious when he said maybe a your child only needs two dolls.

One of the few times tonight when the majority of the folks on the stage were under 35.

Is Trump really going to try to walk up that red carpeted staircase ?

QUESTION: What’s going on with Susan Collins and the bribery scandal? But explain it to me like I’m five. ANSWER: Here you go 👇🏽

AI is the next Industrial Revolution, or Internet, but will be even larger and more impactful, possibly as much as 25% of our Country’s GDP. We are leading China, and the rest of the World, and I intend to keep it that way!

@aoc.bsky.social just put out a great statement on AI. Refreshing to see a major politician on the left nail this. "Silicon Valley billionaires want us to believe that Al robots will destroy humanity. But the biggest threat to humanity are the tech oligarchs themselves." 🎯

It's going to really blow his mind when someone explains to him that we give them pieces of paper for delicious bananas.

Beginning to wonder if there is a new media group similar to Tenet. Funded by Russians with the money going to ultra left wing "influencers" to make content that gets replayed ad nauseam on Republican media outlets like CBS.

Recent polling reveals folks are realizing that this liar wasn't a deal maker after all.

I'm more worried abt Kevin Warsh not hiking than I am about a hike. Holding rates would make him look like an obsequious Trump-puppet and wreck his market cred — stocks would sell off. A hike, even if it's later read as a one-and-done or "wait-and-see" move, is more likely to produce a relief rally.

15/ Say the mechanism plainly. This is not a dozen countries independently arriving at the same politics on their own. It is one funded network handing out cabinet ministers, model legislation, and talking points, run out of a single Virginia office for over forty years.

16/ The larger lesson is not that every policy paper becomes an invasion. It is that powerful networks build tomorrow’s “solutions” years before the public knows there is a plan. When opportunity arrives, their preferred policy is already waiting on the shelf.

If you want to understand the current debate about ASI extinction risk, please please read this. I explain how you've almost certainly been misled into thinking this is about saving humanity--it's NOT. The term "human extinction" doesn't mean what you think it does!

Extremely funny how he started "doing the weave" while his cult had their hands raised trying to "repeat after him" during the blood oath ritual or whatever the hell that was before he told them they were going to hell if they did not vote. 🤣🤣🤣

This is a powerful story from a trans Texan (who's also quite a talented independent journalist). I've been arguing that trans people have the right to be upset with Talarico, and I think we do. This is the case for vote for him anyway, eloquently made, and by someone with the standing to make it.

Both then and now, a lot of this has to do with the historically low levels of advanced munitions inventory. How squirrel still has confidence in the ex weekend Fox host remains a mystery.

Trump is honoring the ceasefire. MBS is pissed. Iran is happy. "On May 6, 2025, U.S. president Donald Trump declared an end to the strikes on Yemen, stating that they were over, "effective immediately," as a result of a ceasefire between the U.S. and the Houthis, brokered by Oman."

heh,heh,heh - Godless Communism “Now that these refining margins are so extreme, they literally can’t pass it up,” Babin said. “They’re going to buy crude and they’re going to put product on the market and make money.”

🇬🇧 It was always a risk that Brexit would lead to the breakup of the UK. 🇪🇺 One of the best ways to avoid that would be EU membership. 📊 It isn't just the people of Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland who want membership - our polling shows the majority of people in England want it too.

Outside the box thinking.

The guy's brand has been what a GREAT NEGOTIATOR he is. Turns out, his idea of "negotiating" is crude putdowns, bullying, harassment, and mafia style strong arm threats. That is not negotiating. Great negotiator, my ass.
