American farmers are being hurt by our trade war. We sell half our soybeans to China. China has stopped buying any soybeans from us. Farmers in Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, & North Dakota are paying the steeped price. Farm closures have doubled under Trump.

HBCU campuses were facing threats. Clark Atlanta, Spelman College & Morehouse are sheltering in place. Hampton & Alabama State have cancelled activities. For the love of America, left or right, let us speak out against this violence and seek to heal with peace & grace. www.ajc.com/education/20...

Threat prompts brief lockdowns at Clark Atlanta, Morehouse, Spelman

Clark Atlanta, Morris Brown, Morehouse and Spelman issued now-lifted shelter-in-place orders Thursday after a threat to CAU.

The brutal beheading of a hardworking Indian American immigrant in front of his wife & son is horrific. The murderer had multiple prior arrests for violent theft & child endangerment & was undocumented. He should not have been free on American streets. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Man accused of beheading Dallas motel manager who told him not to use a broken washing machine

Court documents say the suspect became upset after the manager didn’t speak to him directly about the machine but asked a woman to translate.

Who will be the 218 signatory? This is about trust in our government to serve us. 90% feel we have a rigged system, protecting the powerful, & politicians cannot be trusted. We must prove that the powerful will be held to account. That we can wage this battle across party lines.

The Donald Trump and JD Vance economy: ✅ Coffee up 37.09% ✅ Ground beef for burgers up 13.29% ✅ Cherry Tomatoes up 15.22% ✅ Apples up 22.5% Are you better off?

For the sake of America, a new generation must offer a path to bring us together with a national purpose, to offer real hope over cynicism & despair, & to tackle the deep economic & cultural divides that are tearing us apart. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/u...

In an Era of Deep Polarization, Unity Is Not Trump’s Mission

For those who ask why Massie & I are pursuing this matter with persistence despite political blowback, the answer is that rich & powerful men who covered for Epstein must be held accountable. Mandelson is an example. He’s on the left, so it’s not political.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialSep 11(source)

Let us resolve today for a better politics instead of hurling insults. I shared Bobby Kennedy's words with Kaitlan Collins: "Let us replace the violence and stain of bloodshed that is spreading across our land with an effort to understand with love and compassion." youtu.be/EvjLrlpJzpA

3 weeks until government funding runs out and Democrats don't have a battle plan.

Karoline Leavitt called me "an opportunistic Democrat" pushing "the hoax" of Epstein. 216 Democrats & 4 Republicans believe this is a moral issue, not a partisan one. We stand with surviors and America's children.

Q: You said the Epstein docs are a hoax that Dems are perpetrating against Trump. You said he didn't sign that check or card. What's the theory since these docs came from Epstein estate? LEAVITT: I did not say the documents are a hoax. I said the entire narrative surrounding Epstein right now is

This can't stop us. We have 218 who stand with the survivors to hold pedophiles accountable.

We got the letter. Does anyone honestly believe your simping for Trump?

Medicare for All. Now.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialSep 8(source)

The American people ask a simple question: In the richest, most powerful nation in history, what corrupt special interests—foreign or domestic—have such a stranglehold on our government to prevent the full release of the Epstein files?

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialSep 7(source)

Private sector job creation is dead in the water. 22,000 total jobs created in August. We fought a revolution over the tax on tea. We need a revolt over the tax on coffee. Repeal the coffee tax & expose the Trump tariffs as a 5 alarm fire.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialSep 7(source)

Turns out Hoover like tariffs, mass deportation of workers, deficit spending, interfering with the Fed, and cutting research funding is terrible economic policy. Who would have thought, JD Vance?

BRUTAL JOBS REPORT: Just 22,000 jobs added in August. Unemployment rises to 4.3%. Broader jobless rate jumps to 8.1%. Slowest 4-month growth since 2020. Plus, downward revisions for June and July of -21,000. Yikes.

What possible interest would the US government have in keeping Epstein’s clients secret? Oh…

I called out Betsy McCaughey for calling Mamdani voters stupid. Share this clip so every young person turns out in NY. This is what the old guard thinks of you.
