@FarmActionUS Idiots started a trade war with the country that supplies 90% of the world’s processed rare earths and buys our soybeans, then acted surprised when farmers get squeezed from both ends. This isn’t bad luck, it’s clown management.

“It’s costing us about $1,500 of cash per day to run 2 tractors.” Ohio farmer says skyrocketing input costs are hammering American farmers. “I spent many years buying potash for $90 a ton, and now it’s $670 to $700 a ton.” “Our big problem is the input costs.” “I haven’t seen anything this bad since the 1980s.”

@FarmActionUS We burned trillions on the Iran War, drove up fuel and fertilizer, outsourced rare earths to China, then picked a trade war with our soybean buyer and crushed farm prices. This isn’t bad luck, it’s clown management.

Idaho farmers are sounding the alarm. Agricultural input costs are skyrocketing. And as they’re forced to spend more, their wealth is flowing out-of-state. “16-40% of [Idaho] farm spending is occurring outside of the state.” Why? Economist Timothy Nadreau just broke down why rising input costs is causing money to flow out of Idaho: “We don’t have refineries in Idaho, so as diesel prices go up, that’s money that’s leaking out of the state.” “Certain types of fertilizers we’re gonna have to import.” “The more that we have to import in order to produce our agricultural products, and the more those prices increase, the more money leaks out of our state.” “It’s not circulating and promoting the economy locally.” “The processing segment leaks a lot of money out of our economy.” “Some industries… up to 70% of their expenditures are occurring out of state.” “But almost always, somewhere around 30-70% is leaking out from our processing segment.” “And that’s because our supply chains within the state are not deep enough.” “So we rely on inputs from other states to generate those supply lines.” “The amount of money that actually stays in the economy, circulates and generates tax revenue for the state… is reduced… when the money is leaking out rather than staying local and circulating.” @KTVB @hunterkfunk

NEW @IEA data: clean energy investment is now more than double fossil fuels. $2,155bn vs $1,008bn in 2025. The crossover happened around 2016. Since then the gap has only widened. What was a narrow lead a decade ago is now a >2-to-1 split.

@PerrySchmidt REM for the west lives in a paper world. Executive orders, stocks, agreements, treaties and bluster. The physical world of 20 years away and is one of the great challenges we face

@FarmActionUS Idiots started a trade war with China when they supply 90 percent of world's processed rare earth elements needed for electronics and defense and a major purchaser of US soybeans

These two farmers just blasted the 2026 Farm Bill as a handout to corporate monopolies. Meanwhile, family farms are in a “crisis.” “Higher fuel and fertilizer costs.” “Farm bankruptcies.” Walter Schweizer wants the Senate to “throw out” the House-passed Farm Bill. “Start over, and address the crisis that we have.” And Erik Sommerfeld declared the bill does nothing to break up massive corporations’ monopolistic control of supplies, fertilizer, seeds, and equipment. Sommerfeld told KRTV that “crop insurance and disaster programs” are critical—but those programs only come “after the damage is already done.” “They’re kind of a last resort… to keep a guy going for one more year.” “But they’re never gonna make you whole, like insurance should.” Schweitzer and Sommerfeld agreed on one critical piece that Congress must add to the Farm Bill: Restore Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling, MCOOL, for beef. Sommerfeld: “We want the American consumer to be able to differentiate between good quality American beef and imported stuff.” @KRTV

@allthingsf74065 UND’s College of Engineering & Mines runs a Critical Minerals & REE program with a lignite-based rare earth pilot plant in ND, building REE research, extraction tech and workforce training into existing engineering and geoscience degrees.

China states the case for annexing eastern Russia and Rare Earth Scientists are rarer than REE 6-1-2026

@allthingsf74065 UND’s lignite REE pilot in western ND is interesting, but let’s be honest: it’s only about 30% of the way to fully processed, purified rare earth minerals. Extraction ≠ separation, purification, or real supply security.

@USDA Idiots started a trade war with China when they supply 90 percent of world's processed rare earth elements needed for electronics and defense and a major purchaser of US soybeans

The Biden Admin left farmers with skyrocketing fertilizer prices… and we’re FIXING it at Trump speed! 🏭 Fast tracking the world’s largest ammonia plant, wrapping in 45 days. ✅ Revitalizing projects to increase production capacity by over 2 MMT annually. 🚛 Hours-of-Service waivers to get fertilizer to farmers faster. ⛴️ Jones Act suspension already moving 65,000+ tons of ammonia port-to-port. 🌱 Phosphate & potash added to Critical Minerals List. More domestic production, Lower costs, because farm security is national security.

@SecRollins @SecKennedy @USDA @RapidResponse47 @RCamposDuffy @CharlesHurt @GriffJenkins @foxandfriends Total BS

The MAHA movement doesn't stop with what we EAT — It's also about what we WEAR. For decades, America offshored textile jobs and allowed foreign synthetic, plastic-based materials to take over the clothing market. Together with @SecKennedy, the Great American Cotton Plan puts American-grown cotton FIRST again: supporting our farmers, strengthening U.S. manufacturing, and giving families a natural choice.

@Kristinartz That authority knows best

What is the most useless thing they ever forced you to learn in school that you have never used once.?

@omgsidewalks Nah, that is just AI reflecting idiots

I recently came across a theory that AI has started making more mistakes because the internet is increasingly polluted with AI slop. The idea of AI cannibalising itself into obscurity is one of my favourite things ever. I hope it’s true and I hope it becomes impossible to fix.

@PureCamai Lose the god bs and you might recover

I’m unfortunately starting from day 1 again. Sober for 1 day today. I’m so disappointed in myself. It was so easy to imbibe. And so hard to abstain. They weren’t lying when they said anything that is hard is worth achieving. With Gods grace I will try again.

@Kristinartz Cheap ass maga parents

Should Adult Children pay rent if they live at home with their parents🤔🤔

@MibshaD Florida people are high on idiocy and humid weather is uncomfortable

People who live in California… 👀 If you could save a lot of money by living in Florida, why stay in California? I’m genuinely curious.

@MichaelSaruggia What else is new? That is what executives do, leach off creatives since time began.

AI makes it possible automate processes to a degree it was unthinkable just 1 year ago. The problem? Most executives have ABSOLUTELY no idea what's possible vs what's 100% B.S.

@omgsidewalks Corp America steals your soul

Just trying to prove a point. Have you ever worked 50+ hours a week ??

@lizzkelly7 Oh yea, winning!

My ex-husband of 28 years left me for his 26-year-old dental hygienist. When he moved out, he insisted on taking the premium, top-tier espresso machine I bought him for his 50th birthday, claiming I "never appreciated fine coffee anyway." Six months later, he called me on a Saturday morning, sounding incredibly stressed. "How do you descale the water reservoir? It's flashing an error code and making a high-pitched whining noise." I paused, took a sip of the perfectly frothed macchiato I’d just made on the brand-new, even better machine I bought myself, and said, "I don't know, Dave. Have you tried asking your new girlfriend? I hear she's great with plaque removal." Then I hung up.

@DefiWimar Nonsense

🚨 BREAKING 🇺🇸🇨🇳 US WILL RESTRICT THE MOST ADVANCED NVIDIA AND AMD AI CHIPS FROM REACHING CHINESE SUBSIDIARIES OUTSIDE CHINA. RECENTLY CHINA REJECTED TRUMP’S OFFER ON NVIDIA CHIPS. THIS IS A MAJOR ESCALATION IN THE US-CHINA CHIP WAR. THIS IS EXTREMELY BAD FOR MARKETS...

@jun_song What do you think would happen when ceos and gov shipped out most tech for decades? Time to pay the piper.

I have been testing Chinese internal AI models from few labs. Promise, people will get shocked when they release them.
