@hammert1me9 @PollTracker2024 Harris endorsed Crockett and staffers created robo calls .
FWIW, Sanders is part of the Senate Dem Leadership as Outreach chair. that means he reaches out to independents too, which will at least listen.

@PollTracker2024 So Clinton, Biden, and Harris hasn't bothered to show up? At least Obama showed up for Telerico.

@PettyCrockerAR @PollTracker2024 Latino vote also needs outreach. CC's pop is 62.9 Latino.

@PollTracker2024 Sounds like this story is misleading. There are several keynote speakers at this convention. Bernie is just one of those. And if the state party is smart, they’ll invite Jasmine Crockett to speak.

U.S. Farm Bankruptcies Surge +46% as Fertilizer Costs Squeeze Farmers:
The American Farm Bureau Federation reported 315 Chapter 12 bankruptcy filings in 2025, up from 216 in 2024 and the third consecutive annual increase.
The Midwest got hit hardest with 121 filings, a +70% jump.
The Southeast followed with 105, up +69%.
Together, those two regions accounted for more than two-thirds of every farm bankruptcy in the country.
Fertilizer prices are pouring gasoline on the fire.
Urea, the most widely used nitrogen fertilizer on the planet, has ripped +87% year-to-date and trades near $720 a tonne.
For corn growers who depend on nitrogen, this is a dire situation.
Many farmers are reporting they will cut the amount of fertilizer they use, shift from corn toward less nitrogen-dependent soybeans, or just take the yield loss.
Farms are under pressure.

A Republican Super PAC called "Pine Tree Results", funded by twelve billionaires, just bought $2 million worth of attack ads against our campaign. It's all out of state money. Not a single dollar coming from Maine.
They’re getting scared. And they should be.

The PAC, funded by Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman and Palantir’s Alex Karp, is putting $2M behind this ad

Q: Ken Paxton said that requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in public classrooms is a ‘major victory for Texas and our moral values.’ What’s your response to Ken Paxton?
@JamesTalarico: I’m not sure if Ken Paxton is in a place to lecture us on moral values. My faith teaches me to love my neighbor as myself — not just my neighbors who look like me, vote like me, or pray like me.
I don’t want anyone forcing their religion down my throat, and I certainly don’t want the government forcing a religion down my throat.
I’m a Christian, but I know that the most dangerous form of government is theocracy. Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they’re on a mission from God.

Call me radical, but I don’t think we should be throwing millions of Americans off health care while we bail out a ruthless dictator whose family is worth $300 billion.

This merger is bad for New Yorkers three times over. Thousands of jobs at risk here in the city. Streaming bills going up as competition disappears. And two of America’s most powerful media companies under one roof, deciding what you watch and what you hear.
Today, as Warner Bros. and Paramount shareholders vote, New York City is on record: this merger should be stopped.

Hollywood has organized around blocking the Paramount-Warner Brothers merger. @HaroldMeyerson writes that putting a film treasure up for sale was unwarranted and reveals the eclipse of enterprise capitalism by shareholder capitalism. prospect.org/2026/04/20/dea…

The stock market is higher now than it was at the beginning of the war. Considering the real & lingering destruction to the economy that is now playing out & won't be fixed for years, that is absolutely delusional.
It's in my latest edition of Aftermath.

I’m sorry - the Pentagon threatened the Catholic Church, currently led by the first American pope??
Anne Applebaum@anneapplebaum
The Trump administration gave a Vatican envoy "a bitter lecture warning that the United States has the military power to do whatever it wants—and that the Church had better take its side"

@redtruthshorts @JBPritzker Because she's a warmonger. And now she would be in step with Biden and Trump for supporting the genocide in Gaza, with Lebanon already being blasted. Israel continues to violate every cease-fire agreement.

Ms. Rachel is fighting to close an ICE facility in Texas that's detaining children. She wants to "make sure that kids and their parents are back in their communities where they belong."
"I am political. It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love and care, and that every child is equal, and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border," she told NBC News.
Ms. Rachel recently had a video call with nine-year-old Deiver Henao Jimenez, who is detained at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in South Texas. The boy told her he "wants to leave and go to the spelling bee."
"It was unbelievably surreal to see this sweet little face and feel like I was on a call with somebody who’s in jail. It broke me, and it was something I never thought I’d encounter in life," she told the news outlet. "We’re trying to get a child out of a jail to do a spelling bee. I just never thought those words would go together."
