The farmers I know don’t want a handout, they want to sell the fruits of their labor in a stable market. Instead, their crops rotted in the field because of this ridiculous trade war.

2,403 killed, another 1,000+ wounded. Today we remember Pearl Harbor, honoring the memories and sacrifices of Americans who died that day. Remember Dec. 7th.

The Treasury Department is celebrating Big Money’s success, but these numbers mean that regular people across the US are paying more for the same stuff.
More debt for the US taxpayer to pay for. It’s Big Money vs. everyone else.

Teddy Roosevelt would be rolling in his grave seeing all these billion-dollar corporations in every industry merge to screw over regular folks for the sake of profit.
We need to stop this.

In the 60s, the CEO-to-worker ratio was about 20-to-1. Now, that ratio is out of control.
Back when Elon was getting a *meager* $29 BILLION pay package, Tesla's CEO-to-Worker ratio was over 500,000-to-1. With his new TRILLION dollar package, that's a 34-fold increase.

Elon Musk can get a pay package worth a TRILLION dollars, but America can’t do anything for 125 million Americans living paycheck to paycheck. This is wrong.

The American dream keeps drifting further away. The average age for first-time homeowners is now 40.
That's an all time high & a blaring alarm that our system is broken. Working people deserve a fair shot at stability, not a lifetime spent chasing it.

Today we honor the brave Americans who served our country. Their courage, sacrifice, & dedication have protected our liberties since 1776.

Rapid City’s“No Kings” protest showed exactly why I’m running for Senate as an Independent.
Folks from all backgrounds came together for the principles of our republic’s Constitution: rule of law, popular sovereignty, & liberty.
People come first, not partisan elites.

While it's still Native Americans' Day, I also wanted to share this:
The 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre was just that: a massacre. Attempting to overwrite it as a "battle" as the DoD did last month is ahistorical and disrespectful to South Dakotans.

This is what happens when you give control of the Pentagon to a weekend TV host with zero management experience. This guy has no business being either the Secretary of Defense or War.

The Hatch Act prohibits use of federal resources for partisan political activity. This & similar messages from federal agencies are clear violations.

Society must favor work over wealth to maximize productivity and prosperity for all.
America did that in the post WWII era (when it was great) but we’ve been going in the opposite direction for decades as the tax code reflects.
