Tyson is shutting down its Lexington, Nebraska plant in January 2026. That’s 3,200 workers gone in one shot, the largest plant shutdown in company history.
Blame Trump’s tariff chaos and the lowest cattle inventories in decades. Tariffs jack up costs. Supply shrinks. Plants close. Towns hollow out.

ICE Melts Under Noem’s Shadow
ICE isn’t just losing support; it’s imploding under its own cruelty, incompetence, and Kristi Noem’s vanishing act, leaving America questioning who the real threat is.

Trump is causing mass confusion right now amid an active shooter situation at Brown University. Trump posted that the suspect was in custody, but Brown University and media reports say that is not true and that the situation remains active.

Here’s Donald Trump one month ago, hosting President al-Sharaa of Syria in the Oval Office and praising him as a “major advocate” of peace in the Middle East
al-Sharaa claims this area was outside of his control and the attack was done by ISIS
But Trump claimed he destroyed ISIS in his first term

Fox is now attacking the MeidasTouch Podcast for calling out the White House’s ridiculous claim that Trump’s bruised hands are from shaking too many hands.
Krauss: That doesn’t look suspicious to me at all, having worked with a lot of A-list talent who are out there shaking a lot of hands. I mean, the guy is an elderly man. Your skin gets thinner as you get older.

I'd like to see the next Dem candidate for president (and the entire party) run on a platform of immediately recognizing the ICC and supporting its prosecutions of all who violate international law including heads of state promoting murder, piracy, etc. Hold them accountable.

The first reporter to speak up, interrupt, and call Trump out to his face while he is berating, insulting and personally attacking another female reporter for no reason will be a national hero. You may lose access, but you will be a legend forever. At some point, someone has to.

In 2017, I believed the institutions would hold on to withstand Trump’s worst impulses. They hung on by a thread. Then I watched Trump, Miller & Project 2025 plot for 4 years to make sure they wouldn’t hold again. Which is why I didn’t believe they would hold again. They aren’t.

It's not a question of politics or party. Congress has a constitutional obligation to impeach and to remove a president who commits high crimes and misdemeanors and forsakes his solemn oath.
And there has never been a president who has committed as many impeachable offenses than this one.
And there has never been a president who has committed as many impeachable offenses than this one.
There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.

Dear the media,
When the US president claims he brokered a peace deal in a place with active combat—eg Rwanda and Congo—the story is (1) fighting rages on, and (2) US president lies.
The story is not “president touts historic peace deal.” A peace deal involves peace.
Sincerely,
Factual reality
