Even with a farmer bailout, if there is no market for beans, there is no incentive to plant next year. I’m not a farmer. I didn’t vote for Trump. But the only two businesses we have left in my town revolve around corn and beans. My town will fold. My school will close. It’s over for us.

Richard Scarry’s conception of sanitary drainage systems (labeled here as “dirty water”) appears identical to how some of the earliest plumbing systems were installed in the US and UK in the early 19th century.

AMEN MOTHERFUCKERS!

This is going to get worse before it gets worse

🪄If you haven’t noticed, there’s mounting strategic communication about a possible confrontation with Russia: deterrence, strengthening defense, and accepting higher economic and social costs. Across the West, materials and speeches are preparing the public for tougher decisions.

She called it. The media blew it by letting a serial liar off the hook

Two moms find out their sons are returning from Russian captivity. Such an emotional video. One of them says the Defender's son turned nine yesterday. He gets the best birthday present today!

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen to Fox & Friends host Lawrence Jones: "In New Hampshire we do not provide health insurance for illegal immigrants, we have never done that, and you are just wrong."

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

History has many painful lessons.

GUARD IN MEMPHIS: The TN Supreme Court & a federal court have both ruled it is unconstitutional for TN’s governor to deploy the National Guard for law enforcement. In 2021, TN’s GOP Attorney General wrote an advisory saying the same. It was so damning, the new AG secretly erased it from record!

Representational diversity is important not just for minority kids to see themselves represented, but for the majority kids to understand that they're not the only ones that can be the center of an interesting story.

Wake up America

BREAKING: NY's Cherry Lawn Farms found to have failed or refused good faith bargaining with UFW. Delay tactics and expensive lawyers will not stop us. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

I don’t make it a habit to talk to Trump voters, but they are starting to come to my speaking events. Something is changing.

Once again, your author nailed 100% of every forecast. October records are falling by thousands exactly in the areas I mentioned few days ago. While crooks,charlatans and fake experts keep infesting the net with useless junk and wrong data, there is at least one REAL climate expert who never fails.

Whataboutism.

Stephen Miller told officers armed with guns that they are "unleashed." Nothing about this is normal. This is a threat to our democracy.

Folks, I'm not saying the guy claiming to have proof of Mike Johnson's Grinder account is a grifter, and I'm not saying he's not. I have no idea. I don't know him. He could absolutely be telling the truth. But please don't give him money for "legal defense" until he actually needs it. Free advice.

FRENCH ON HEGSETH: “A senior leader committed gross misconduct and put lives at risk. He was never formally held accountable. That is not what a meritocracy looks like.” 🔒 www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/o...

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unwell and dangerous. MIKE JOHNSON: Your side has issues too. DEAN: Did you see his performance with the generals? JOHNSON: I didn’t watch. DEAN: Our allies are distancing, and our enemies are mocking.

This is not a fight about tax credits. This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin. We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

‼️ This is a very dangerous situation. Nothing like this has ever happened before. This nuclear power plant is the largest in Europe. Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which has been under Russian occupation since March 2022, has been disconnected from the power supply for more than a week⤵️

Let today be the day you decide to live your life and be happy. So much hate and negativity in this world. Don’t let it ruin your happiness. Be upset, be angry even, but don’t let anyone steal your joy and ruin the person you are. Promise yourself that you’ll be happy.

One thing people really need to grasp about DeSantis in Florida is that the main thrust of his administration is being insanely corrupt and making his donors rich. To wit, my hometown:

CE just bought software to track your daily life — where you sleep, shop, pray, or get medical care. It’s fueled by billions of cell phone data points, exposing visits to abortion clinics or churches. The government said it stopped buying this data. It lied.

Tonight I learned that one of my heroes has died. I loved her and colleagues' "adventures" as a child and grew up to admire her scientific work for so many reasons. RIP Jane Goodall. Jane Goodall, wildlife advocate and primate expert, dies at 91 - www.reuters.com/business/env...
