Did a lil raw milk Q&A. "But they use raw milk in Europe and it's fine! Because they're clean artisanal dairies, not the factory farms we have here!" Nah... Europe still has outbreaks from raw milk *all the time.* At least two big ones in the last year alone.

Food, medicine, & other supplies are piling up at the border. Why? They don't belong to GHF- the one nonprofit allowed to bring supplies in. And GHF's approach is somewhere between "incompetent" & "wow this seems custom-built to get people killed."

This is all caused by Republican decisions over 15 years while doing nothing to lower costs for you. Plus, Republicans inability to agree with themselves on a state budget is now going to cause even more problems for you.

The Big Ugly Bill is going to negatively affect the funding of North Carolina. Combined with Republicans in the NCGA wanting to cut taxes for corporations until they are 0%, the State is in a worrying financial situation.

Couple more farm facts! ICE has been doing a lot of raids in Oxnard, Camarillo, & the general Ventura Co area in CA. Not sure why they're focusing on this area, but Ventura Co is the first ring of farmland on the outskirts of Los Angeles. Maybe just conveniently located.

Our farmers are the backbone of our economy, but Trumpās tariffs have left them on the brink. Just one bad season could mean losing everything. Instead of standing up for them, Thom Tillis has turned his back on the very people who feed our state. Our farmers deserve better.
