Japan’s largest producer of tonoko is reportedly closing at the end of this year. Tonoko is a soft, fine earth formed from deposits of ancient plankton and is an essential material in urushi lacquerwork. Other sources still exist, but this producer has supported Japanese lacquerwork for many years.

Texas grows a whole lot of food. Our kids ought to be eating more of it. Our school lunch dollars can put fresh food on kids' plates while giving Texas farmers and ranchers dependable customers right down the road. Texas-grown food should be the first choice in Texas schools.

Farmers should be able to fix the equipment they own. When monopolies lock farmers out of their own tractors, they can charge whatever they want. One Texas farmer reports being charged $60,000 for a repair he couldn't legally make himself. Our farmers deserve the Right to Repair.
Graphic featuring a farmer driving a green tractor through a field. Text reads: “Texas farmer reports that without the Right to Repair his own equipment, monopoly charged him $60,000 to repair his tractor.” “Right to Repair” is highlighted in yellow.

www.nbcnews.com/politics/con... If Democrats win control, they don’t intend to put “MAGA” judges on the courts. One of the reasons we want to do everything we can to take back the Senate is to stop Trump from putting MAGA justices on the Supreme Court and the lower courts.

Some Democrats don’t expect to fill a Supreme Court vacancy under Trump
Democrats need a net gain of four seats to capture the Senate. If so, they’d control what happens in a vacancy, as Justice Samuel Alito admits he’s thought about retirement.

Renee Good's family filed two lawsuits today. The first, against, USG, is a standard wrongful death. The second is a Klan Act lawsuit against Jonathan Ross, AND STEPHEN MILLER and Greg Bovino. It names Nick Shirley and Christopher Rufo as non-party co-conspirators for their racist propaganda.
44. At all relevant times, Defendants Ross, Miller, Noem, Lyons, Homan,
Bovino, and the John Doe Federal Agents acted under color of federal law and within the
scope of a joint enterprise with the private actors described below. Defendant
Lewandowski acted in part under color of federal law and in part, as alleged below, as a
private person, his federal status having been limited to a temporary part-time designation
that his conduct exceeded. Shirley, Rufo, and Ben Bergquam, and the other non-party
private actors described below, agreed to and in fact participated in the conspiracy alleged
here: each acted in concert with, and with the knowledge and encouragement of, federal
officials.
