The timing of this raid and reports that a White House official was involved raise serious questions that should concern all Americans, regardless of political party.

Honestly, the people who appreciate your art are just so focused on the destruction of our democracy and our midterm elections. I can't wait until my mind will allow me to just enjoy the small pleasures of life again.

Be very careful: both our ballots were to be delivered on 09/28, my ballot arrived on that date, but my husband's ballot arrived on 10/6 after he asked about it at our local post office.

Here in Illinois, we had a GOP state senator who lived most of the year in Florida. He was an idiot who kept getting elected until his district started turning blue. Then he moved full-time to Florida and ran for office there where he received 17% of the vote in the primary.

Reading this clarified for me that Trump's decision to invade Iraq and put an incompetent fool in charge of our military is designed to help Putin in his plan to weaken NATO and invade the Baltic states. Do not believe that Trump acts alone. Trump is Putin's puppet.

Not so sure Republicans want the Dobbs decision back in the spotlight like this as the Midterms approach…
A screenshot of a CBS News post on X with a black background and white text. At the top left is the CBS News logo and verified account name, “CBS News @CBSNews,” with “X.com” in the upper-right corner.

The post reads: “Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, which overturned Roe v. Wade, required ‘courage’ from all of the justices in the majority.

‘We didn’t know it when we produced the draft that was leaked, but it required courage to go ahead with that because of the implications,’ he said.

He told CBS News’ @JanCBS that he lost friends over the Dobbs decision. And he called physical threats and harassment ‘quite disturbing’ and ‘a danger for the courts.’”

Below the text is a large video still from the CBS News interview showing Justice Samuel Alito seated indoors. He is wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and dark red tie, and appears to be speaking while looking slightly to his left. A small CBS News logo appears in the upper-left corner of the video frame.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor
The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

How about the link between Autism and toxic chemicals in our water and food? I attended an autism conference where the speaker overlaid a map of a Texas superfund site and the high rates of Autism in that same area. This is just another distraction from the dismantling of our regulatory system.

A New Trump Rule Would Lower Standards at Head Start and Exclude Immigrants From the Program

Not mentioned in this piece is how companies like ConAgra and Bayer strongly influence farm policies in states like Iowa. The farm bureaus and state university ag programs are financed by these companies who will do anything to keep sustainable farming practices from being a part of ag legislation.
