Soybean farmers tighten their belts, doing their part in the trade war they voted for. Chinese boycotts are no joke, and farmers are starting to find out. What’s worse, they’ll vote republican next time

Wow, first time I've seen him underwater in this poll with white people. He has negative disapproval across every possible cohort.
This is quickly mushrooming into a real international incident www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

NEW: Recently we reported on L.A. honor student and track star Nory Sontay Ramos and her mom Estela, deported after a routine immigration check-in. Weeks after we met them in Guatemala, where they were in hiding, Estela died suddenly. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/d...
Democratic elected officials, here's some unsolicited advice. People are looking for leadership. Right now. This moment. Someone, anyone, take the konch and forcefully respond to JD Vance and Stephen Miller's promise to declare war against America. Speak up now. Press conference today.
As @shannonrwatts.bsky.social pointed out, where's the Democrats Leadership's response to JD Vance and the Trump Administration essentially declaring war on the majority of America? Debunking all his lies? Calling out right-wing terror? Anything? Anything at all? Bueller...Bueller?
Feel free to continue arguing over the shooter's motives, but please understand that *it doesn't matter*. There's a organized political movement that plans to suppress, arrest, or kill its political opposition. It it seeking pretexts. Anything will do. If it's not this, it'll be something else.
SPECIAL REPORT: A large swath of the U.S. currently does not have the basic, ground-level immunity necessary to stop the spread of viruses that had once receded into the past, a six-month NBC News investigation in collaboration with scientists at Stanford University finds.
The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office said Monday that Minneapolis police did not forward a case for consideration of charges stemming from the August assault. The Minnesota Star Tribune has asked police to explain why no case was forwarded.
Legacy media is literally caping for white supremacy now. Quoting the man they’re venerating, whose proud life’s work was disparaging marginalized groups, is officially a firing offense, but calling for the homeless to be euthanized is not. Wild.
More than 200 people have died and more than 100 are missing after two separate boat accidents this week in the northwest of the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to residents of the area and local news reports.
This can’t be accurate because Trump said we took in like $17 trillion in tariffs.
Ego Nwodim is the latest — and perhaps last — high-profile departure from “Saturday Night Live,” as the long-running sketch show has seen a cast shakeup ahead of its 51st season.
ICE just released their official statement. A man is dead. DHS claims an officer was seriously injured. Some details in their statement do not align with what we've learned here from eyewitnesses, who also provided photo and video evidence to us. We'll say more when possible.
In other news Missouri Republicans just passed new gerrymandered US House map giving GOP 90% of seats in state Trump won with 58%. Destroys district held by Black Rep Emanuel Cleaver, one of 2 Dems in state Texas was just start of Trump’s plan to rig midterms www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Charlie Kirk's shooter was trained to use a gun since childhood. Secret Service Analysis of Targeted School Violence showed that 77% of school shooters have used weapons in the past & 76% get their guns from their homes of from their relatives. www.secretservice.gov/sites/defaul... #ItsTheGuns
Totally agree
How about that.
South Africa has reopened the investigation into the death of anti-apartheid leader Steve Biko — 48 years after he was killed in police custody.
We must try to stop the damage Trump and the GOP are doing, and hopefully reverse their actions that have raised prices and made us less safe.
from Corey Robin on FB:
Is it not a white man who is allegedly charged with the death of Charlie Kirk?? would are they fightihg???
Donald Trump has a history of making national tragedies worse. So here's a quick side by side of how one president responds to a national crisis versus how another does.
Kash Patel is what you get when a right-wing conspiracy podcaster gets handed the keys to the FBI. Everyone knew he would be a train wreck, but they confirmed him anyway. PS: props to the foreign press for asking the questions our own reporters won’t.
😂😂😂
That’s a lovely thought. But it could never happen with Donald Trump serving as president, and would never have been necessary if he weren’t.
Yes, I did say his views were abhorrent. “Condemn the violence but don’t glaze the man.”
👍🏿👍🏿 I agree
Grok says that videos of Charlie Kirk being shot are memes and that he's actually fine
Trump has never even acknowledged the shooting at CDC - where an anti-vax gunman sprayed hundreds of bullets - where a police officer died. He also left behind a wife and child. RFK Jr returned to publicly spreading antivax lies within days. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
The House passed its $892.6 billion defense policy bill, despite vocal criticism from Democrats after the Republican majority denied votes to limit the Trump administration’s use of the military domestically.
Fucking finally. Fight back against the bullshit framing that tries to make Dems responsible for everything. The GOP is *choosing* to create this kind of societal environment. They could stop it at any time. They have agency as well. They’re not fucking children (except when, well, you know)
Tonight's episode! Calling ICE on your job creators, using the military to clear your path to dinner, and looking the other way when your ally bombs the country that gifted you a plane. MAGA America! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ywuu...
He wasn't wrong
At least 3 students are in critical condition after a shooting at Evergreen HS in Colorado. This is the 47th shooting that took place at a school in the US so far this year: 24 on college campuses, 23 on K-12 school grounds. This happened less than an hour after Charlie Kirk shooting in Utah.
Federal agents detained a man who was in a car with his wife and two children on Monday night in D.C. The man said he didn't know why he had been pulled over.
This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people. Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it. We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.
Swalwell: He’s telling you not to see your neighbor being chased through a Home Depot parking lot because he’s just trying to work hard and provide for his family. And he’s telling you not to see the drawing he made for Jeffrey Epstein.
If the GOP passes this law, Missouri will be sued.
📌Donald Trump's a liar, a fascist, a pedophile, a racist, a convicted felon, a woman-abuser and an America-attacker. He's taking aim on our clean air and water, and our election process. He's going after our healthcare and life-saving vaccines. He leads a racist Republican cult. 📌Fact-check me.
✔️ Congratulations to Democrat James Walkinshaw, who rolled to victory tonight in a Congressional special in Northern Virginia. This wasn't a surprise, but stand by for the ass-kicking Dems are going to give the GOP in Virginia this November. Mark my words: It will epic.
Democrat James Walkinshaw, who has experience working on Capitol Hill, has won a special election to be the U.S. House representative of the Virginia district that is home to the state’s most populous county.
Fox News is bragging that Trump actually went out to dinner in Washington DC. which he has “made safe”. Earth to Fox News: Every member of Congress I knew went out to dinner every night in DC without the National Guard, without police protection and had a wonderful time. Get a grip!
Ugh. He has dragged our every waking minute into the gutter. Grotesque.
Rep. @crockett.house.gov: "Epstein files bigger" than Trump
"To Kill A Mocking Bird" is on the list of band books. But I have a copy if he wants to borrow it?
It seems like my piece this morning about Cleta Michell saying that Trump will "exercise some emergency powers" to in connection with the 2026 elections hit a nerve.👀
"It has nothing to do with fighting crime." Illinois Governor Pritzker believes the Trump administration's use of ICE enforcement and National Guard is a pretense for interference in the 2026 and 2028 elections.
🗳️ I love our family tradition of voting together in every election. Voted early today with my husband Conan. Proud to cast my ballot to re-elect @wutrain.bsky.social — the clear, steady, and bold Mayor our city deserves in these consequential times. Boston, don't forget to vote on September 9th!
We, and I’m sure we are not alone, will be filing a FOIA
Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
NEW: In a challenge to the Trump Admin’s weaponization of gov, the court ordered the government to report to it if the IRS receives a request for info from DHS/ICE or makes plans to share more data with DHS/ICE. A great first step as we await decision by the court. Congrats @democracyforward.org
California, Oregon and Washington announced yesterday they’ve created their own health alliance, saying the CDC has become “a political tool that increasingly peddles ideology instead of science.” New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island have now done the same.
So maybe the problem wasn’t with the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics?
Joseph McNeil, one of four North Carolina college students whose occupation of a racially segregated Woolworth’s lunch counter 65 years ago helped spark nonviolent civil rights sit-in protests across the South, died, his university said. He was 83. https://cnn.it/3JOhsqT
Trump isn’t coming to the rescue… 📌 Hundreds of Arkansas farmers are begging the federal government for emergency aid as their farm economy collapses. They’re on the edge of bankruptcy. Watch until the end. Wow!
Warnock: Clearly you have an agenda. It is a threat to the public health of the American people. It's clear that you are carrying out your extremist beliefs. RFK JR: We’re the sickest people on earth. How am I a threat? Warnock: I think that you ought to resign.
RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.
Four years ago, I tested for COVID. I'd had dinner with someone with cancer the night before. Thanks to the vaccine, I did not give that dinner companion COVID. And I only ran a low-grade fever for a few days. Fuck that idiot RFK Jr. and the equally stupid buffoon who hired him.
Ossoff: He never should have been confirmed by the senate and he needs to resign. It is one thing to be a skeptic or a reformer. It is quite another to be a fool…
And I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when there’s an emergency in Texas

Minority rule on steroids in Missouri: GOP gerrymandering on Trump’s orders to give Rs 90% of seats in state where Trump got 58% AND gerrymandering ballot initiatives to require majority support in every House district instead of statewide majority to pass www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Davies: The truth is Epstein had a free pass. He bragged about his powerful friends, including our current President Donald Trump. It was his biggest brag actually.
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump is preparing to deploy National Guard troops in the state over the governor’s repeated objections. Pritzker also warned Trump will soon launch large-scale immigration raids in Chicago. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Over the next 15 months, we can expect a coordinated campaign — backed by the full power of the executive branch — to undermine confidence in our election system. Here’s what to expect, and how key actors can be ready to respond: bit.ly/4fRIqtA
Watching how Mayor Jacobs and Gov. Pritzker are having to explain why they oppose Trump’s military occupation is infuriating. Those of us who live in Baltimore, Chicago, and other cities cited by Trump are not a backdrop for a strongman’s show of power. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

“The future of our party is going to be decided by who steps up and fights for this moment” @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social says as Democratic voters press their leaders to fight Trump. “And then, by the way, when we take back power, we need a party who is not afraid to use it.” #Velshi
And of course the tried and true pathway from claiming to be a civil rights lawyer to “seeing the light” and deciding you love Trumpism. The Damascus road paved w/a lucrative TV deal. The journey in 4 panels:
Thank you @marcelias.bsky.social for your continuous fight, for always going the extra mile in making sure our democracy is not lost. We must all continue to do our part in safe guarding our constitution.
Donald Trump is once again threatening to issue an executive order targeting voting. This is an effort to subvert the Constitution and the 2026 election, which grants states and Congress but not the president power to regulate federal elections. If he does this, we will sue and we will win (again).
Whatever you do, just keep your foot on the gas. #ResistTrump
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) pointed out that President Donald Trump's so-called "crackdown" on crime in Washington, D.C. included National Guard troops picking up trash instead of backing up law enforcement.
The party of “family values” is attacking our kids.
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump said in a weekend social media post he plans to issue an executive order to impose voter ID requirements. And he reiterated his desire to ban mail voting. The president lacks the authority to take either step. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
