Sherrod Brown tells Scott MacFarlane about an Ohio farmer whose fertilizer costs jumped $100,000, wiping out his profit and threatening a fifth-generation family farm. “People feel betrayed.” Brown blasts Sen. Jon Husted for staying silent on tariffs, war, and soaring prices.

Gov. Spanberger on Trump's executive order on dyed diesel: “Who pays that deferred tax and when? Is it the farmer? Is it the vendor?” “If the president and his supporters in Congress actually wanted to meaningfully impact the cost of diesel, they would end the Iran war.”

🚨 ANALYSIS: Trump eased sanctions on Russian diesel weeks before the midterms, despite analysts doubting the deal will meaningfully lower prices. Zelenskyy accuses Trump of using Ukraine’s peace talks as a “smokescreen” for his Putin deal. The full story is worse than you think.

Trump announced a diesel deal with Putin as Zelenskyy’s team met with Witkoff and Kushner in Miami. Ben explains why the deal won’t meaningfully lower prices, but could signal protection for Russian refineries as Trump pressures Ukraine to surrender territory.

Trump’s deal to buy Russian diesel from Putin just weeks before the midterms funnels money directly into Russia’s war machine. Trump is now facing calls for Congress to block the deal and impeach him. Meanwhile, energy analysts say it’s unlikely to even make a dent in fuel prices.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

The takeaway from Bo French suggesting Asian students are “foreigners” and the tepid GOP response is that the Trump-era Republican Party is increasingly explicit about its belief that the only good immigrants, and the only real Americans, are white. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
The Afrikaner policy is illuminating, because it proves the catch-22 facing nonwhite immigrants: If you are poor, you are a moocher, and if you are gainfully employed, you are taking a job from a hardworking American. The only way to be a good immigrant is to be white and Christian.

Bo French, who is running for a seat on the Texas Railroad Commission, has taken this idea a step further, suggesting that the only way to be an American is to be white and Christian.
