The law couldn’t be clearer. I gave him weeks to review the language. I read it out loud to him for good measure. He still refused to say the simple truth: it is illegal for the president to weaponize the IRS against his political enemies.

The top holder of $TRUMP coin faced SEC charges for market manipulation, and was avoiding coming to the US for fear of arrest. Now his lawsuit is paused and he’s invited to a VIP dinner with Trump. This guy is bribing the President in plain sight. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

What is one country also investing heavily in agricultural research? It's China. That's why this Administration's $600M cut to ag research makes no sense. We cannot go backward on investing in the future of agriculture. It impacts our farmers and our national security.
