And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.




“Hope and change” didn’t work out so well last time Dave.



Good Grief. Listen to this struggle session. Mitch McConnell can barely read, slurs his words and looks like he could drop at any moment. Congress was not meant to be a corrupt nursing home. He’s everything wrong with Congress




I will always tell the American people the truth. Pesticides and herbicides are toxic by design, engineered to kill living organisms. When we apply them across millions of acres and allow them into our food system, we put Americans at risk. Chemical manufacturers have paid tens of billions of dollars to settle cancer claims linked to their products, and many agricultural communities report elevated cancer rates and chronic disease. Unfortunately, our agricultural system depends heavily on these chemicals. The U.S. represents 4% of the world’s population, yet we use roughly 25% of its pesticides. If these inputs disappeared overnight, crop yields would fall, food prices would surge, and America would experience a massive loss of farms even beyond what we are witnessing today. The consequences would be disastrous. I support President Trump’s Executive Order to bring agricultural chemical production back to the United States and end our near-total reliance on adversarial nations. His EO protects two pillars of national strength: our defense readiness and our food supply. When hostile actors control critical inputs, they directly threaten the security of the American people. The Trump administration will secure these supply chains to eliminate that vulnerability. President Trump did not build our current system — he inherited it. For decades, Washington designed modern agriculture. Policymakers wrote farm policy, directed research dollars, structured subsidies and crop insurance, and shaped commodity markets to reward monocultures and maximum yield. Those deliberate choices locked farmers into chemical dependence and prioritized short-term output over long-term soil vitality and human health. We are now changing course — without destabilizing the food supply. Alongside @USDA @SecRollins, we are accelerating the transition to regenerative agriculture by expanding farming systems that rebuild soil, increase biodiversity, improve water retention, and reduce reliance on synthetic chemicals, including pre-harvest desiccation. We are also driving the rapid adoption of next-generation technologies, including laser-guided weed control, electrothermal and electrical systems, robotics, precision mechanical cultivation, and biological controls that replace blanket spraying with precision intervention. These solutions are not theoretical. Farmers are already putting them to work. Markets are scaling them. Now the federal government will act with urgency to expand their reach and accelerate adoption nationwide. I have met with hundreds of farmers and agricultural leaders across the country. They understand the pressures firsthand. Chemical inputs cut into margins. Chemical-resistant pests are spreading. Soil health is declining. Foreign markets are shutting out American produce. Farmers want workable alternatives, and they want policies that support transition without threatening their livelihoods. At HHS, I am leading a coordinated effort grounded in gold standard science. I am working with Secretary Rollins and @EPALeeZeldin to expedite a better future where a thriving agricultural system is less dependent on harmful chemicals. We are sharing data, coordinating strategy, and supporting farmers through a practical transition. The Make America Healthy Again agenda forces us to challenge long-standing assumptions about how we grow food, structure markets, and measure success in this country. Reform at this scale will test entrenched interests, and it will not move in a straight line. President Trump has opened the door to this debate and backed meaningful change — not only in policy, but in the national conversation about health and agriculture. American farmers stand at the center of this movement. They deserve policies rooted in rigorous science and economic reality. Our children deserve a food system that protects and strengthens their health. With President Trump’s leadership, we are securing critical supply chains, confronting the health risks embedded in our current system, and deploying every available tool to build a stronger, safer, more resilient American food supply.









A Maryland bill creates a window where the death of a baby born alive may not be reported – a chilling fact that should concern every American. We are exposing this deadly legislation and fighting to defend the most vulnerable. Read more: aclj.org/mmxt6q9m


🚨 BREAKING: Gov. Ron DeSantis just FIRED BACK at a group of Florida GOP sheriffs asking President Trump to slow mass deportations "This idea that unless you're an axe m*rderer, you should be able to stay? That is NOT consistent with our laws, and it's also not good policy." "To send a LETTER to him asking him to go back on his campaign promises?!" "You can't let Biden bring in 10 MILLION and we're not allowed to REMOVE them!" "We have different people that are victimized by illegal aliens every day in this country!" "Not all of them have criminal records at the time, in fact, probably most of them don't. But under some view, it's like, okay, yeah, you come illegally, and then you stay until you commit a really violent crime. That just doesn't work." "It's incoherent, and it's not what the president ran on. To send a letter to him asking him to go back on his campaign policies, I would not advise that to be done."



NEW: Indiana University's Muslim Philanthropy Initiative partnered with a "sham charity" of Hamas for fundraising conferences. This group came under fire in 2022 for hosting Sami Al-Arian at a conference about Muslim philanthropy. freebeacon.com/campus/indiana…
