This shit is going to get someone hurt. Its worsening

Lies. China bought $1.4 billion in soybeans from Illinois alone last year. This year, due to Trump's policies, the U.S. is projected its lowest soybean exports to China since 2018—when Trump was also President. Don't let Trump gaslight you. He's always been bad for our farmers.

Koh: This is not about justice. This is about power. This is about a Secretary of Defense so drunk off alpha male bullshit that he's willing to take lives to get off on that power.

If you see John Roberts in person, be sure to tell him he’s a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney (pronounced “tawny”). That’s a nerd burn that will hit him where it counts.

NEW: Russian state media is leveraging Putin’s recent statements to intensify the false narrative that the frontline in Ukraine will imminently collapse, likely to coerce the West and Ukraine into capitulating to Russian demands that Russia cannot secure itself militarily. isw.pub/UkrWar112925 🧵(1/7
