Well, make them eligible for the exchange. They could use more members.

Of course not. OANN making a play, though.

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

It looks like every media company in American that covers the Pentagon except OAN is refusing to sign Hegseth’s ultimatum.

Last Sunday, @demiforillinois.bsky.social, @raygunsite.com and I hosted a No Kings protest sign-making party with the best problem:

So many people showed up, we ran out of table space.

This is what community care looks like.

The government has been shut down for nearly half a month.

Insurance costs are doubling for millions of families.

And you’re still trying to rewrite history on the first bipartisan vote to impeach a U.S. president?

Put down your phone and focus on ending the Trump shutdown.

Did people actually believe Trump during his campaign, or did they just love the permission he gave them to be racist?

Trump on loop: “They’re stealing your jobs.”

If that were true, why aren’t Americans lining up to take those so-called “stolen” jobs?

Every Trump voter needs to see this.

On Capitol Hill, there has been almost no sign of progress toward ending the shutdown. Senators say they aren't even formally negotiating, which begs the question: what are they actually doing?

'Make it stop.' For lawmakers, the shutdown feels like purgatory (but with Thai food)

They finally acknowledged Melissa Hortman but are using her to justify their ongoing suppression of dissent, skating over the fact that her killer was not Antifa but a Trump supporter who had a long list of other Democrats, abortion rights advocates and health care officials he planned to target.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.
