Let’s be clear: when the Trump administration kills or stalls energy generation projects, that’s the White House choosing to make your electricity more expensive. Americans deserve better.

A bipartisan group of ag leaders wrote a powerful letter about how current policies - as well as Congressional inaction - could lead to a collapse in American agriculture. This is where Iowa's current crop of DC politicians has led us.

She was asking a question about whether the Epstein survivors have received justice. But Vance wants her to “smile and have some fun” while asking the president a question about trafficking victims. bsky.app/profile/fact...
Vance: There was a moment in the Oval Office, I wasn't even in there, but Trump was talking to Kaitlan Collins. Trump says, 'Why don't you ever smile?' And it's actually, like, so perceptive. Have some fun.

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.

When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

This is preying on my mind a bit. Jeffrey Epstein was not primarily a British scandal! So far we've removed a Prince from the Royal family, fired our US ambassador who was one of the most important political figures of the last few decades and banned the CEO of Barclays from the financial industry..
One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.

Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

It is worth asking every single brand, NGO, government agency, elected Democrat, and journalist why they insist on using that platform. Demand they justify being on a platform literally designed to promote sexual abuse.
So Musk intentionally forced xAI to embrace making sexualized material to increase user active seconds, and the AI chatbot had, throughout 2025, only two employees devoted to safety compared to dozens of staffers on similar teams at OpenAI or other rivals.

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX.

we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home.

delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.
