As the grandson of Kansas wheat farmers, let me offer my careful opinion -- this is not good.
DaleThe USDA is projecting the wheat harvest to be cut by almost half in the US. The state of Kansas is the largest producer of wheat and it is projected to harvest 44% less than from 2025. The American Farm Bureau sees a continued increase of Chapter 12 bankruptcies from 2025 as well.
Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.
RIP Don Nelson, he retired to Hawai’i to play poker and smoke weed and look like this, he’s literally the goal
RIP, Nellie, gone at 86. Wear a fish tie or smoke some weed in his memory. Don Nelson was a perfect fit for Wisconsin during his time as coach of the Bucks. The fish ties, of course. The beer and cigars, too. I had a fish tie like that. My son loved wearing it, too. (1/3)
My youngest, randomly, "Wait, does unleaded gas mean that there used to be...leaded gas?" Me: "Yup! When I first started driving, they still had leaded gas." Youngest, "How was that even a thing? Are you ok??" Me: "Oh boy, do I have some interesting hypotheses to tell you"
AOC on Hasan Piker: "Much hay was made about the fact that we lost young men in the last election. Many of the same consultants that are wringing their hands today were the same ones talking about how we have to go on Joe Rogan and not be so willing to engage in cancel culture."
Instead of a moral compass, I have a humiliation fetish
Aaron RuparLMAO -- Cassidy wants credit for "almost" voting no on Blanche
A mapping error from the Treaty of Paris in 1783 led Minnesota to have one of the most beautiful pieces of land in the world at the north end of Lake of the Woods. Every Minnesotan should make the trip.
One America, where the man on the left is so ignorant he had to pay someone else to take the SAT for him. Another America, where the man on the right is a Rhodes Scholar.
They openly admit their election crimes & are actively doing everything they can to undermine & outright steal the Midterm Elections. Any surprise he fired the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission? He knows if he loses he's headed for a 3rd Impeachment & an orange jumpsuit. 🤞 👍
This is going to be one of the worst foreign policy failures in all of American history.
Kevin ElliottThe lede of this story says Trump might be willing to walk away from Iran without a nuclear deal if it reopens Hormuz, which to me sounds like trading an Iranian nuclear weapon for recognizing Iranian sovereignty over the strait.
Todd Blanche was confirmed as Attorney General yesterday under cover of darkness, in the dead of night, at 4 am. From a year ago today:
"GOP may be stuck with Rep. Max Miller in Ohio" This piece is written as if the GOP were a passive bystander. But Republican leaders could have told Miller to get out. The could have said they wouldn't endorse him, or fund the race. Instead they enabled him to stay. www.axios.com/2026/08/09/o...

🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: Waterloo scientists Dr. Brian Ingalls, Dr. Sara Sadr, and Dr. Marc Aucoin have engineered “tumor-eating” bacteria that can invade and destroy cancer from within. A potential breakthrough in cancer treatment research.
"A restraining order was issued against White in February 2026, requiring him to stay away from his former wife and their son. Said restraining order is enforceable for 50 years." Fifty Years.
Sen. Jon Ossoff was very clear about why there’s so much corruption—to the tune of billions—by Trump and his family: “Because they’re crooks.”
Bernie Sanders: "The irony is that the proper criticism of communism is that the Soviet Union was an authoritarian society." "And then you’ve got the most authoritarian president in the history of this country."
Let’s be clear, there is a literal convicted criminal in the bulldozed White House currently committing fraud, war crimes, money laundering, espionage, treason, sedition and more, but trash like bathroom rug head Rand Paul want Dr. Anthony Fauci jailed for saving lives. Truly depraved.
