The best way to “bury the hatchet” is to apologize. The refusal to apologize for inexcusable behavior is a low- character move, and Rand Paul is exactly right to vote against his nomination.
Andrew Kolvet@AndrewKolvet

Sen. Markwayne Mullin is the kind of guy who can exchange words with a Union Boss, only to bury the hatchet and have that very same Union Boss sitting right behind him as a character witness at his confirmation hearing. Sen. Paul needs to let whatever grudge he’s harboring go, just like MWM and Sean O’Brien did.

The conservative Cato Institute is accusing the Trump admin of carrying out the largest fraud in the history of the immigration system — totaling $1 billion dollars. The scheme allegedly involves taking processing fees from immigrants, then never providing the promised services.

JD Vance got rich insulting the people of Appalachia. And though he pretends he’s from Kentucky, he’s actually from Butler County, Ohio — where I'll be on Saturday night in a room full of fired-up Democrats.

Texas is the clean energy capital of the United States. And a chunk of that is because of their easy permitting, relatively ample transmission, and highly deregulated electricity market. Abundance thinking in energy works.
Daniel Gross@grossdm

Pretty astonishing. In Texas, between 10:00 am and 4:00 p.m., 80-90% of electricity comes from carbon free sources. And storage is already a significant contributor in the early morning and evening

There are just 10 levers a school can pull for USNWR purposes. The question as to why a few can pull those levers effectively, & most schools express shock each year at where they land among the rankings, is a true exercise in management capability.
Robert Anderson@ProfRobAnderson

It is difficult to overstate what Texas A&M law has accomplished in just ten years. If this momentum can be continued, even in part and even for a short time, this school will tear apart the longstanding hierarchical order in the legal academy. That would be a good thing.

I prosecuted the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, and then Donald Trump himself. One week after he took office again, he fired me. Now I’m running for Congress to defend our democracy and restore the rule of law.

Excellent report and analysis! The world is going to get hungrier…
Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡@shanaka86

Right now, in barns and equipment sheds across the American Midwest, farmers are making the most consequential decision of this war. Not generals. Not senators. Farmers. At $683 per ton urea, corn economics have collapsed. Nitrogen is the single largest input cost for corn production. At pre-war prices a farmer could justify 180 pounds per acre and expect a margin. At $683 the math breaks. Soybeans fix their own nitrogen from the atmosphere through root bacteria. They do not need the molecule trapped behind the Strait of Hormuz. The seed decision is being made this week across roughly 90 million acres of American cropland. Once the planter rolls into the field, the choice is irreversible. Corn seed in the ground stays corn. Soy seed stays soy. The acreage allocation locks in. USDA Prospective Plantings reports March 31. That report will tell the world how American agriculture responded to the Hormuz blockade. But the decisions it captures are being made now, in conversations between farmers and agronomists and seed dealers who are looking at nitrogen prices and making the rational economic choice: plant the crop that does not need the input you cannot afford. Every acre that shifts from corn to soybeans tightens the corn balance sheet for the rest of the year. Corn feeds livestock. Corn feeds ethanol. The Renewable Fuel Standard mandates 15 billion gallons of corn ethanol annually, consuming roughly 43 percent of the US corn crop regardless of price. That demand is inelastic. If acres shift and production falls while the mandate holds, corn prices spike. Feed costs spike. The protein cascade reverses. The US cattle herd sits at 86.2 million head, a 75-year low. Poultry and pork margins that were benefiting from cheap feed compress when corn crosses $5 per bushel. This is how a naval blockade 7,000 miles from Iowa reaches the American grocery shelf. Not through oil. Not through shipping. Through nitrogen. The farmer cannot afford the molecule. The molecule cannot transit the strait. The farmer plants soy instead. The corn supply tightens. The ethanol mandate consumes its fixed share. The remaining corn reprices. The feed reprices. The meat reprices. The grocery bill reprices. The decision is not political. It is arithmetic performed on a kitchen table by a person who needs to plant in three weeks and cannot wait for a ceasefire, an escort convoy, or an insurance normalisation that the Red Sea precedent says takes years. The deepest penetrator in the American arsenal cannot reach a sealed Iranian doctrinal packet. But the fertiliser price it failed to resolve is reaching every planting decision on 90 million acres of the most productive farmland on Earth. The war’s most irreversible consequence is not happening in a bunker. It is happening in a barn. And by the time USDA publishes the data on March 31, the seeds will already be in the ground.

Before I was the first woman to serve as U.S. Ambassador in a war zone, I was raised by a single mom who worked multiple jobs. I believe deeply in SquareOnePolitics.org's mission of breaking barriers & fighting for what’s right. I’m honored to have their support to flip MI07!

I have long maintained that Biden will be viewed favorably by history 1) because he was a very good president and 2) he will look even better when viewed between the disaster of 2 Trump presidencies. It’s already playing out. I will be vindicated sooner than expected ❤️

Gen Z who voted for Trump are now romanticizing Biden and praising him on TikTok. This one had hundreds of thousands of likes

Only 22% of registered voters nationally said they have a "great deal" or "quite a bit" of confidence in the Supreme Court. It's the lowest percentage since NBC News began polling on the question in 2000. nbcnews.com/politics/supre…
