Lifting up the best of us here in Shelby County Ohio 🇺🇲 Can This Ex-Republican Revive Democrats in Rural Ohio? nytimes.com/2024/05/14/opi…
Take it as a badge of honor. @DavidPepper @amyactonoh
Democratic #OHgov candidate @AmyActonOH's Twitter account has been suspended. Campaign manager @_PhilipStein statement says no reason was given & they're appealing. But he also suggested it's b/c Acton called for release of Epstein files & said @VivekGRamaswamy should do the same
Shared sacrifice??????? John Kasich used that one to lift local government funds from Ohio counties. ✔️Pro Tip: The 2025 American doesn't DO shared sacrafice.
GOP lawmaker: "The idea that the Christmas trade is already starting to slow down and there might be less around, I get it. I think the American people will understand that because the American people understand shared sacrifice." @atrupar
Fanone: " I don't believe that the Republican Party ever backed the blue. But they lost all credibility in doing so when they pardoned the more than 500...violent insurrectionists who assaulted uniformed police officers who were just doing their jobs like myself on January 6th."
Dear US Farmers.... There are NO trade deals
The British trade deal wasn't what they said it was, the Vietnamese won't confirm Trump's announcement, and the Japanese say they're not signing a binding agreement. The White House has released the text of ZERO deals, and maybe it's all just social media posts all the way down.
Trumpflation denies Americans simple pleasures. Pretty much on brand
Dear US Farmers: You do realize Secretary Sunshine Blower and Secretary Brain Worm believe soybean oil is ultraprocessed, right?? Oh well, only 84 million acres.
MAKING PROGRESS! Big thanks to my great partner @seckennedy. Excited for what’s next! @HHSGov 🤝 @USDA.
Told ya. Trump keeps doing farmers without even a reacharound
"Japanese officials said there was no written agreement with Washington — and no legally binding one would be drawn up", and surprise surprise, they deny giving Trump $550b to arbitrarily spend however he wants. ft.com/content/c1183b…
Told ya. THERE ARE NO TRADE DEALS. Only agreements are to talk about talking about negotiating.
If you're an exporter of US products to foreign trading partners (which you turned into enemies)
“Now it doesn’t sound good, but you make a hell of a lot more money with a weaker dollar, not a weak dollar, but a weaker dollar than you do with a strong dollar”
Dear Hamas: Release the hostages (and their bodies) Problem solved.
I am sick of the tired platitude that for an ally like Israel we must not disagree publicly or in the media. Not when there is mass starvation. This is the time for every American to speak up publicly. PM Netanyahu, let in the food, medicine & aid. We must not be complicit.
Bait n switch bull shit. 1) AMERICAN consumers are paying the tariff costs 2) Now you know why Powell is holding onto his interest rate cards......cause rebates, coupled with tariffs would explode inflation. 3) Americans take one in the ars either way
Trump on tariff revenue: We have so much money coming in, we're thinking about a little rebate but the big thing we want to do is pay down debt. We're thinking about a rebate.
Says member of the political elite and decendent of slave owners
Most Americans don’t think about race as much as people in Washington, D.C., do. They understand that souls don’t have a color—and that, to a bear, all of us taste like chicken.
Let me explain this as a farmer: ✔️You have a tractor that leaks oil, flat tires, clutch slips, air con. broke, & filters are plugged. ✔️You air up the flat tires to keep it moving. All Trump did was put air in the tires. >ONLY comprehensive immigration reform will solve this
Border crossings are pretty much at zero, and the flow of illegal aliens has reversed. Turns out, we didn’t need any new laws. We just needed a new president.🔥💯
The Fed wanted glass for the building renovations to denote transparency. Trump appointees on the local planning commission insisted on the opulence of marble........hence marble.
What should we make about this manufactured hullaballoo that renovations at the Fed are a reason to fire Powell? (The answer is nothing. I don't think we should even talk about this story. But if you need a bit more than that, lemme try to give a bit more context.)
And it begins…this was SO easy to predict.
The fix is in.
If you wanna do something substantive, instead of performative, return the authority to manage local USDA programming from WDC to the farmer elected county committee system. (wondering if you even know what im talking about)
Here @USDA, we are refocusing our core operations to better align with President Lincoln’s founding mission of supporting American farming, ranching, and forestry, as well as serving American taxpayers.
Every farmer, landowner, conservationist, and stakehold has direct access to a USDA Service Center in their county or the neighboring county and a state USDA office in each state already. This is just more performative sunshine being blown up our shorts 🌬☀️
The hubs will be in Raleigh, North Carolina; Kansas City, Missouri; Indianapolis, Indiana; Fort Collins, Colorado; and Salt Lake City, Utah. The plan will bring USDA closer to its "core constituents," Rollins said in a video to staff.
Two things can be true at once: ✔️Trump is President ✔️The world is at war (Credit @gzeromedia )
