Ag secretary confirming 1 in 4 US farmers has no fertilizer secured, American Farm Bureau survey says up to 70% can’t afford enough fertilizer for the season under the spiked costs Honestly shocked this isn’t bigger news. 25% of farms are just not planting at all this season. Farm bankruptcy up 46%

I do feel a little bad for Fetterman and Shapiro. They hitched their wagon to Bidenism, and now that horse just won't pull. Sucks to suck. (Soon they can comiserate with Elise Stefanik.)

In the two years since I purchased it, my home has probably lost $80,000 in market value - which is less than what it would have cost to rent it for those two years.

rip bride of chucky

contrarian that I am, "trump fake attempt" speaks less to the information ecosystem as a whole and more to him being widely viewed as untrustworthy and unpopular

Revenge, not for '79, but for '73

Hey Vegeta, what does the scanner say about the price of West Texas Intermediate?

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Between the expected gas price spike on Monday, the saber-rattling, and the deranged posting, it feels like the manufacture of a dip that can be bought.

Predicting a cause celebre case where a doctor in an anti-abortion state follows the law, causing the death of a pregnant woman, and someone from her family kills the the doctor

The goal of the war is to get Iran to destroy Gulf energy production (and its own) - letting American domestic/Venezuelan production fill the gap. Revenge, not for '79, but for '73.

Will be so funny when the Israeli Dolchstoßlegende leads to Likud being replaced by Otzma Yehudit and the GOP is like "ok all better now"

Imagining Iran sinking a US aircraft carrier and Trump stumbling through an empty ballroom at Mar-A-Lago shouting "Pete Hegseth, give me back my legions!"

Or- Or did the US convince Israel to attack Iran SO THAT the counterattack would permanently cripple oil production throughout the Arabian Peninsula? Has the US built its domestic oil production to the point where it will profit by the elimination of the competition?

Erase my gains, daddy.

There is a nonweak correlation between Pedro Sanchez having good Middle East policy, and Spain having gone all in on renewable energy

-> force inflation due to tariffs -> tariffs overturned -> impending deflation! -> immediately force a global oil shock -> deflation is matched with new inflation! -> ...tariffs primed the country for a dry pump

my politics takes note of a strong correlation between getting to say "retard" and having to say "recession"

US bombs Iran. Iran attacks Gulf oil facilities. Energy prices spike in central and eastern Europe. Russian LNG looking pretty good. Urge to defend Ukraine: falls.

I support those Democrats in Congress who oppose this.

If I were a Zionist, I would consider paying hard-right influencers to denounce Israel in antisemitic terms. This would strengthen my attacks that antizionism is antisemitic, while also supporting the racist-nationalist elements that I have long supported and agree with.

This is Trump's "Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co." His economic overreach was ruled to be sheet, regular people still got tubed, and his best friend still ran a Youngstown

Graham Platner used his 2018 Blackwater reinlist bonus to become a major investor in an aquaculture business. He's an oyster farmer the same way Bruce Poliquin was a tree farmer.

not a fan of "owned his own island" in general tbh

"If they can take down our confederate statues, we can take down their pride flags" - is accurate, has always been accurate

Old local church just dissolved. They were making ends meet by renting space to immigrant churches. The immigrants are sheltering in place. Thus ends 240 years of a congregation.

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

@ifbookspod.bsky.social Olivia Nuzzi's "Wingless" wasn't a left-wing blog. It wasn't a right-wing blog. It was a blog about being straight with a granddad.

In my small town in Maine, many Main Street businesses are not opening. Construction has ground to a halt. Most home & auto repair appointments have been cancelled. The school and hospital both have no janitors. Police and first responders have called out. The "White Surprise" is starting, yessir.
