Iowa Farmers Union just endorsed Democrats in all five federal races. Then cattlemen in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas said the raids would raise the price of beef. Farm country was not supposed to do that.

Awful: The Supreme Court just let Trump's third-country deportations move forward. Still a shot at stopping them later but unlikely. Reminder: If Dems win power, they can and should defund both the white-nationalist Office of Remigration and third-country deportations, as I argue in this piece:

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.
