So this is DEI writ large: 

NewsNation’s Brian Entin broke the story in an exclusive interview with the whistleblower from within the Federal Farm Bureau, who described how an $800 million program funded through the American Rescue Plan Act was designed to cancel debt for farmers based on race, not need.

...

The details of the program, quietly tucked into the Biden-era legislation, spell out the criteria: “The United States Secretary of Agriculture shall provide a payment in an amount up to 120% of the outstanding indebtedness of each socially disadvantaged farmer or rancher.” The term “socially disadvantaged” explicitly includes American Indian, Alaskan Native, Asian, black, African American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, Hispanic, or Latino — any group, essentially, except white farmers.

“So, just to be clear,” Entin asked, “if you were in that group, you were told you didn’t have to pay your bills?”

“Yes, that’s correct,” the whistleblower confirmed. “And that your loan would be forgiven up to 120% of the loan value.”

So if you couldn't pay back your loan, you ended up MAKING money. But only as long as you weren't white.

A federal court is now saying that Trump doesn't have the power to set up reciprocal tariffs on foreign countries and says he exceeded his legal authority. 

So it's okay for judges to undercut the president in negotiations. So much for being the chief executive of the country.

While OMB Director Russ Vought says a bill will arrive next week to codify DOGE cuts, the Senate's actions (so far) show no desire to give Trump a win on taxes--so why would they help with codifying DOGE? 

A lot of these Republicans need to be primaried.

I remember seeing that. Clear 14th Amendment, and Civil Rights Act violations.

Biggest thing that could be done for small family farms is eliminate the inheritance tax. And bar corporations from buying small farms.

Flatly illegal and shockingly immoral.

Will anyone be held accountable?

”Britain has a terrible scourge of knife crime. ”

No.  There is no such thing as “knife crime“, there is no such thing as “gun crime”.  Category error.

Little OR was in his first school orchestra concert tonight, playing the clarinet. He did great.
