It might help to look at a map of land use in the US In the first map subsidized land is organized in red, in the second map you can see the same areas, distributed throughout the country. Subsidies unfairly advantage a preferred entity over another, unfairly distorting a free market economy.

Pretty wild that the Texas Cattle Ranchers association is saying that deportations are affecting beef prices in the US because of labor shortages but Republican politicians and candidates never seem to get asked about that.

VITAL book. I speak from personal experience. One-third of domestic violence victims don’t want to abandon their pet(s), which makes it harder to get away. Shelters rarely accept animals. (This is *gradually* changing.) Amazon links in the Alt text, if you’d like to grab a copy! #domesticviolence
I’m holding a copy of Not Without My Pet: Understanding the relationship between victims of domestic violence and their pets (Andrew M. Campbell, 2021).

I think something to consider here is that Collins voted to confirm Russ Vought as OMB Director despite the fact that he said a billion times that he thought Trump had a constitutional right to illegally impound funds, and now she’s doing shocked Pikachu reactions.

@SenatorCollins

Without warning or consultation, Congress just received an $810 million package of pocket rescissions from the Administration. This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to undermine Congress's Constitutional power of the purse.
This move shows that OMB intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation of appropriations that were approved on a bipartisan basis and signed into law.Not only is the delay itself an impoundment that was not reported to Congress, but also it is a usurpation of Congress's appropriations powers.
OMB is an agency of the executive branch. It does not get to decide which programs are worth funding.
The independent Government Accountability Office has concluded that pocket rescissions are unlawful and not permitted by the Impoundment Control Act. Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law.
I will work with my colleagues to address these illegal actions.
