@thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social a vote for Rep Mike Lawler is a vote for Speaker Johnson. Doesn’t matter how many bills he introduces, it’s still a vote for a MAGA speaker and sufficient reason alone to vote for @caitfornewyork.bsky.social

Michigan farmers squeezed by record diesel prices
Agriculture is the second largest industry in Michigan. Farmers have been feeling a financial squeeze for years, and diesel prices are the latest increase they have had to manage.

There are new and specific numbers in this story, so it’s worth reading. I continue to resent the lack of credit to Nick Schwellenbach at @pogo.org, Dan Friedman at @motherjones.com, and me, who have previously reported every other aspect of this story, including that the sale prices were very high.

The SAVE Act started as a political stunt. Now it's a real threat.
As we entered 2026, it became clear that Republicans were set up to lose control of Congress in the midterm elections. What followed was predictable.
