Jan 16 2025 House passes #HRes42 assigning #MN01 @repfinstad.bsky.social to the Committee on Agriculture So when will the #FarmBill be introduced and voted on? FYI The 2018 farm bill originally expired on Sept 30, 2023 and has been extended twice due to having insufficient votes to pass the House

This is the stuff I'm a doomer about. Real journalism takes time - even a quick, original 700-word story requires a lot of legwork, relationships, etc. It can never compete with instant slop, or accounts that just plagiarize news for free with more sensationalistic (and wrong) framing.

Just rediscovered this MLK Jr quote: “I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s greatest stumbling block is not the White Citizens Council or KKK but the white moderate who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice.”

Still hard to believe the majority of District 12 voted for Snow in the 2024 election…

#FinstadInTheField Dec 6 2024 Is anyone surprised that #MN01 @repfinstad.bsky.social had time to meet with his donors (#DairyIDFA) ? Would anyone be surprised if #BradFinstad did NOT mention that the #FarmBill has expired; breaching the “#DairyCliff” which could result nearly triple milk prices ?

An unengaged population who views voting as a right but not a responsibility is a threat to our future. Would you only pay attention to football for the week before the Super Bowl (or only watch news from one team) and then place a huge bet on the game?

Spotted in southern MN. I don’t think this landowner realizes how this looks…

I know many people said they voted for Trump and the R’s because they focused on inflation and the cost of groceries and I might have believed that, BUT the central messages of Trump rally highlights and Trump flags were all about xenophobia and hate and never about cost of living…

These nominations are the flood the zone strategy for authoritarian HR: if you nominate a ton of crazy unqualified zealots, the Senate will confirm all but a few. Hegseth likely gets confirmed because of Gaetz and RFK drawing fire.

Relative greatness can be achieved either by climbing higher or by pushing down those around oneself. There is nothing admirable about those who do the latter.
