The federal government promised it would reimburse farmers for millions in infrastructure investments, but Trump's funding freeze just left farmers on the hook.
And if Trump's tariffs go through, farmers will be in even more dire straits.
A "new Golden Age" for whom?

Did they think it would be different this time? Trump's a lame duck president now...he can, and will, screw over anyone he can.

We know eventually enough voters will realize he and his minions in Congress care about their agenda and not the people.
But will it be too late to save us thru democracy?
We need to effectively act on all possible levels now!
Call, March, email, and more!
...and will farmers see it for what it is -a pathetic patch aimed at shutting them up?
FDR literally saved the TX Panhandle and is the only President to ever visit. Residents (including my family) returned him to office 3 times, named a town New Deal, & voted Dem for 50 years.
This is an opportunity y'all.
And when I refer to "opportunity," I mean actively engaging IRL with people who voted DJT last time & using our persuasion skills. Midterms ...
Now let's recruit!
It's a little harder to look your neighbor in the eye and tell them to f themselves because they think differently.
A lot of our neighbors are cultists and they fly the flags.
And they have a right.
There is strength in numbers and you aren’t alone. I don’t know you but if you need a friend, hit me up.
I live in a tiny town where the majority farms and their wives teach. The TX Leg is set to pass a law subsidizing charter schools that will slash funding & now this. The struggle is real.

But we have to fight for it!
We've been blessed to have grown up in peace & prosperity w/out obvs effects of climate change. History is now.
So we fight.
Now they can't complain... They voted for all of this...!
😒
If you're a farmer relying on infrastructure investment $ that not one Republican Senator voted for, and then you voted for a Republican president and Congress? You're a special kind of stupid.
I try my best to give Rod's take on this.
Agree or not, that's ok but it's well worth the read...
I’ve already heard some talking about losing their farms because of the last couple of weeks
Whole economy to crash because in the end , the big boys always end up On top and then they can buy up everything cheap
He could literally order his thugs to beat them to an inch of their lives, and then tell them it was actually the Democrats who were whomping their asses. With tears of joy they’d give him the shirts off their backs and buy another Trump Bible.
The Democrats help those ungrateful bastards time and time and time again. And they ALL support Republicans. The Farmers. Their Workers. ALL OF THEM.
I want to see them begging for help. On their knees for everything their support for Trump did to us.
Golden age for the Rich!
People that own a lot of land and hire farmers to work are too often referred to as ‘farmers’
Our country must feel great anxiety & distre$$ before even a fraction of people who voted for Don & ‘Leon’ wake-up to their royal screwing.
See the glory of The Royal Scam. -Steely Dan
much like it's not a Golden Calf they're dancing around .. it's Orange
Financial destruction is immediate and irreversible
Last time I checked, 6 companies own all the farmland, cattle, and chickens in this country.
But, he's looking to achieve the "full" status!
These folks have 0 pride or self respect to vote to
let this clown prick of crime represent them.
Even so, I don't recognize his legitimacy.
The data shows Starlink had to have stolen the swing states.
Farmers tend to have a lot of pitchforks.
They shoot first, then ready, aim...
And then look for someone else to blame when they blow something up they didn't intend to.
Tyranus Plump and his sidekick the Soi Blunder
It is CONGRESS’s sole prerogative to review this. And it doesn’t require a “pause”.
“We” is what the Senator means by “Elon Musk”.

per Adam Kinzinger on Substack: "USAID also buys billions of dollars’ worth of wheat, rice, and soybeans from American producers."
The states with the highest production of these crops are:
-Soybeans: IL, IA, IN, MN
-Wheat: ND, SD, MT, MN
-Rice: AR, CA, LA, MS, MO, TX
So much winning...
... I guess those rank and file GOP and MAGAt voters will enjoy their demise, because trump told them to enjoy it!

If you don't want a Dictatorship, then stand up and start screaming.
get foreclosed, and billionaires buy them up. Farmers then go to work on the land they used to own, paying rent for the land and being stuck in a nonstop cycle of poverty.
All he did was give his rich buddies a tax cut.
I expect more of the same same.
Sky high wishes he never follows through on
May I suggest as I do, grow what you need. If you fish, catch what you need. If you hunt stock your freezer. The whole administration process is to keep us under their thumb.
