American farmers are the heroes who keep food on our tables and power a huge share of our economy.
They deserve a Congress that has their back, not one that pulls the rug out from under them while global instability drives their costs through the roof.

Instead of relief, Republicans in Congress cut more than $1 billion from programs that helped schools and food banks buy food directly from local farmers.
Those programs were a lifeline on both ends, supporting farmers and feeding kids.
This crisis comes on the heels of more than 15,000 American farms shutting down in 2025. The American Farm Bureau warned that rising costs, falling margins, and policy decisions in Washington were pushing family farms to the brink.
Costs for essential fertilizer and nitrogen supplies have spiked more than 55%, driven in large part by the conflict in Iran disrupting global supply chains.
When wars start in regions that produce the world’s fertilizer, the bill lands on a family farm.
This should be a much bigger story.
American farmers are getting crushed, and Washington is making it worse.
60% of U.S. farmers cannot afford the fertilizer they need for this year’s growing season.
That tradition is what makes this country possible, and it is one thing we must all protect.
Our political opponents are not our enemies. They are our fellow citizens.
Let us remember that we are neighbors first.
The principle does not bend to the politics of the victim.
We are a nation of more than 340 million people. We disagree on many things. Yet for 250 years, the American experiment has survived because we generally chose to settle those disagreements with voices and votes rather than violence.
Every American should be able to stand behind the same principle: political violence is never the answer.
And if we mean it, we have to mean it every time.
Why does Kash Patel still have his job?
8. Indict the Southern Poverty Law Center for paying informants to infiltrate hate groups
9. Assign a SWAT team to serve as personal security and chauffeurs for the Director’s girlfriend
10. Announce arrests and suspects before the facts are in, then walk it back
5. Fail to find Nancy Guthrie and go chug beers with the US Men’s Hockey Team in Milan
6. Fire a dozen counterintelligence agents with Iran expertise days before the US strikes on Iran
7. Promise bogus 2020 election arrests six years after the fact to appease Donald Trump
3. Bury the Epstein files because, in the Director’s own words from 2023, “of who’s on that list”
4. Stonewall state investigators looking into the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents
Kash Patel’s updated FBI priority list:
1. Investigate a New York Times journalist for reporting on the Director’s girlfriend
2. Sue The Atlantic for $250 million over reporting on the Director’s drinking problem
This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.

Americans see it.
Congressional approval has collapsed to near-historic lows.
The IRS polls better than Congress right now.

This is what one-party Republican rule looks like: a sidelined Congress, a president without guardrails, and a legislative record you could fit on a napkin.
We don’t fix this by sending the same people back.
We fix it by throwing them out.

Republicans sat on their hands as the President refused to spend funds Congress had already allocated.
The Constitution gives Congress the sole power to declare war, yet the GOP blocked every Democratic effort to rein in Trump’s military campaign in Iran.
