US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

I hope the DNC is listening, because here is something very important: you don’t need to hire a bunch of high dollar consultants for “messaging.” Talk to voters about prices and why they are so high. My MAGA mom just told my stepdad that prices are high because of Trump‘s tariffs.

Without subsidies, my health insurance is twice my mortgage payment with a 9k deductible. Small business owner for 23 years. I can't do it.

😬 whoopsy. Freudian!

Read this post. Then read it again.

Tell me again how letting the assault weapons ban lapse didn't matter. Tell me again how they're coming to get your guns?

If this deeply degrading, wasteful and dangerous stunt proved anything, it’s that the best thing Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace. Immediately.

CC: #Tennessee. Over the past few years we've had the highest number of hospital closures per capita in the country. We have hundreds of thousands of uninsured people. The remaining hospitals are considered high risk. We're going to be approaching undeveloped nation status pretty soon.

Today, 33% of all the electricity used in Oregon is attributed to data centers. In Virginia, it’s 37%. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Sad, but true.

The Squid Games: “Welcome to America” (season Finale)

Where are House Republicans?

This is just sadistic & pure, unadulterated misogyny.

A US citizen alleges he was improperly arrested and detained twice by immigration officers as they targeted Latino workers at Alabama construction sites, claims they initially rebuffed his offers to prove legal status -- new proposed class action in federal court buff.ly/LVwQRIm

America: let’s put a moronic criminal in charge of our finest men and women in uniform. Also America: let’s hope our finest men and women in uniform do not listen to the moronic criminal we put in charge of them.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

But DHS, ICE will be funded

Man, I can't believe the guy who inspired this event 4.5 years ago is declaring war on large swathes of his fellow Americans. I mean, who could have ever guessed it would come to this?

I lit dropped yesterday and planning on going out again tomorrow!

If you live in TN's Congressional District 7 and are pissed about your taxes funding the shiny new Titan's stadium (aka the biggest public dollar giveaway to the NFL ever), you need to read this. Then go vote for @aftynbehn.bsky.social, the candidate who wants to get dark money out of politics. 🦞

NYT: “.. The president delivered a rambling address that including familiar talking points and critiques, and also Mr. Trump’s revelation that he had told Mr. Hegseth to use American cities where he has deployed troops as ‘training grounds’ for the military.” www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

He’s grabbing American democracy by the Posse Comitatus Act. When you’re a Republican, the Supreme Court will just let you do it.

The Flex Loan, a new type of payday loan pioneered by Advance Financial in Tennessee, allows residents to borrow up to $4,000 at a 279.5% interest rate. It has burdened low-income borrowers while generating huge profits for lenders. (Published May with @tennesseelookout.com)

And the erosion thereof. Anyone who fell for the free speech absolutists on the right not meaning "we want to slur you consequence free" is a sucker. Every stated GOP value over my lifetime has been cast aside, like fast food wrappers.

$20 billion for Argentina. Another federal bailout for farmers because of Trump's disastrous tariff policies. Now $625 million for a dying coal industry which employers fewer people than Arby's. But we can't afford Medicaid? We must condemn millions to die by zeroing out foreign aid?

Our broken healthcare system is about to get a whole lot worse and more expensive unless Republicans agree to roll back their massive cuts to Medicaid and restore ACA subsidies. Meanwhile, Trump is posting conspiracy theories about magical hospital beds on Truth Social. Hello?

Truer words never spoken.

🤨 "After seven days of early voting, fewer than 14,000 people across 14 counties have cast ballots in a special election to choose who will fill a vacancy left by retired U.S. Rep. Mark Green in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, according to data from Secretary of State Tre Hargett’s office."

I’m so mad that I am *quite literally* seven houses away from being able to vote for Aftyn Behn but I need everyone seven houses to the west of me to GET OUT FOR THIS ONE and vote for Aftyn for TN-07. Tennessee was a swing state during my lifetime and they want you to forget that.

ICE is a secret, unaccountable police force for an authoritarian regime. Pass it on.

Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats. The checks and balances only work when the institutions aren’t run by utter cowards and the complicit

No veteran should have their social security number leaked, let alone passed to a political opponent by the government.

Destroy the market to China. China goes to Argentina and Brazil. Farmers lose. US then bails out Argentina! And they didn't even buy us dinner....

This is an infuriating and shameful scandal. The Roberts Court is condoning Trump’s law breaking, again, pure and simple. There is no serious path forward for democratic government without Supreme Court reform.

This is getting ridiculous. Hopefully this wakes Iowa voters up

📌Trump giving out medical advice to a woman is like a pedophile handing out candy to a kid. Or is that redundant?

If Jack is weaponizing illegally leaked documents as a candidate, just imagine what he would do as governor with New Jerseyans' personal data.
