Here it is: Americans won’t do the hard labor with the low pay of farm work. So if Trump is deporting the workers who are willing to do the work—and Americans won’t replace them—what do you think happens to the supply chain? Your grocery prices? Trump has no plan for this problem he’s creating.

I trust her.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Whenever you welcome guests, treat them with kindness, grace and respect. Simple as that.

Instead of shouting, the people stood in absolute silence, lining the streets in black. No slogans, no chants—only a wall of defiance. The dictator watched from his balcony, unnerved. He feared what he couldn’t hear. PowerOfThePeople #GeneralStrike

Modern-Day Peaceful Protest… TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

obviously you have a bustle in your hedgerow

You can tell a lot about a person by how they react to children—and even more by how they treat the ones suffering from hunger.

Trump has bullied Americans with his lawfare in the past, but now the people are fighting back and he can’t take it. Keep at it. Listen to @therickwilson.bsky.social and @mayaonstage.bsky.social on The Breakdown here: bit.ly/40UdYIj

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

THE COUNTRY WANTS BREXIT UNDONE. STARMER DOESN’T. The country wants to rejoin the Single Market and the Customs Union; it wants free movement and to rejoin the EU. Starmer doesn’t. THE PEOPLE MUST HAVE THEIR SAY! WE DEMAND A REFERENDUM!

Factual reality survives to live for another day: Trump will be sentenced tomorrow, confirming his eternal status as a convicted felon. The Supreme Court refused to stop it. But it took Roberts and Coney-Barrett to exit the supermajority in a too-close 5-4 ruling.

ICYMI, the richest man is trying to become a trillionaire by laundering money out of the US government to try and create the impossible science fiction fantasy world he plagiarized. I added the Star Trek theme because it’s precisely as realistic as anything this guy says.

A lot of people will criticize @johnfetterman.com for visiting trump. Don't. Imo, the best way to win voters is to do all you can to represent your constituents first. Your party last. Voters want results. If he can use Trump to get that. Amen.

The current ascendancy of a sick and broken man like Trump would not be possible if our body politic was not also sick and broken. The need for civic ed and an informed citizenry was clear from our earliest days as a republic pursuing self-governance. Without it comes self-serving oligarchy & theft.

I have found great uplift by dwelling on the model of decency, compassion and love of country Jimmy Carter provided us, but can I also say: It was uplifting to see all the surviving presidents give the felon the cold shoulder and Obama, generously, taking one for the team.
