I grew up on a dairy farm, milking Holsteins. I went broke as a farmer, milking Holsteins in the '80s. I have contributed to Rebecca's campaign and invite you to do the same. www.youtube.com/live/vaWfahm...

He NEEDS to own people in government to remain "successful", because without subsidies, handouts, and corporate welfare, he can't "make it". He's a pretender, a grifter, a beggar, and a fraud.
Why is the richest man in the world trying to buy a senate seat in Texas? Musk and Corrupt Ken Paxton are cut from the same cloth. Neither are native Texans but think Texas belongs to them alone Elon’s millions have failed to move the needle for Corrupt Ken at all. Texas will not be bought

More than 5 million people have lost their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, benefits since President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill passed last year. That has meant many more people are turning to food banks for support. https://to.pbs.org/47Sb4rd
"An up to date federal farm program is essential to helping Iowa family farmers and other family farmers across the nation plan their farm operations. But this Congress, and the Iowans in it, have been unable to enact a new one since the old one expired." piatt.substack.com/p/iowans-in-...

Voting is our power to make change. So vote for yourself, the kids, and everyone who can't.
There was a rabid MAGA guy giving everybody shit, especially William H Macy. Fortunately, he wasn't phased and graciously told us why he thinks it's important to use his voice/platform to speak out for voting and against the current administration.

If this comes to fruition and Orban is seriously considered, our nation will cement its position as being the laughingstock of the global stage! This is unconscionable, as so many actions of this "administration" have proven to be.
The Security Council must recommend a candidate. Then the General Assembly must appoint one. WSJ reports Orban is interested. He will run only if he is confident of winning. Trump and JD Vance are expected to back him. An announcement could come after the US midterms.

Republicans endanger children. This is one example but let's take a look at what's happening to children in #ICE detention. They are being denied medical attention, as well as healthy food & water. They are experiencing mental illness because they're being tortured. Vote blue & Vote early!
"In the final weeks of the 2026 election, Rep. Ashley Hinson, a Republican running for Senate in Iowa, began running a direct-to-camera television ad with a startling message." My comment on this? "You reap what you sow!" open.substack.com/pub/adampark...
Lindsay James is actually in touch with real Iowans. She knows "Real Iowans" ride bikes! Not only does she know we need those bike lanes, she is planning to "fix the road" so more of us can take advantage of them. Vote Lindsay James now or on Election Day.
Joe Mitchell: "Thank God you're building the ballroom. Thank God you're getting rid of those awful bike lanes. We don't ride bicycles in Iowa."

When you vote, please remember: Trump did this! People receiving food stamps dropped from 41.6 million in July 2025, before the "One Big Beautiful Bill" took effect, to 36.5 million in June 2026, 13% decrease, according to the latest data from the USDA. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This administration will go down in history as the most corrupt, reprehensible, embarrassing, shameful, inept, unserious, self-serving, globally-damaging, AWFUL one in the history of this United States of America.
That's not where this will end. On his last day in office, Trump is going to issue a blanket pardon for EVERY POLITICAL APPOINTEE IN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH for all crimes committed between January 20, 2025 and January 20, 2029. Mark my words.
