“The worst place ever I’ve been in my life," Sakariye Abdi Mohamed, a Somali asylum seeker, told me over the phone from Guantanamo Bay last week.
Sakariye is one of 7 or 8 Somalis who are being held at Gitmo. They say guards tell them the order to keep Somalis at the facility comes from DC.

85% of our potash comes from canada.
My favorite factoid about how important potash is to agriculture in the US is that the first patent granted in this country, in 1790, was for "a novel method for the production of potash."

Schiff voted to confirm Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and one of the first things she did was cut $1 billion for a program that paid local farmers to deliver to food banks and schools.
Later today, the Senate Agriculture Committee will again vote on a Farm Bill that falls short for California families.
We need a bipartisan farm bill. Badly. But this isn’t bipartisan and doesn’t meet the needs of our people.

yes, definitely run on beef prices, tom
Emmer says Republicans need to talk more about grocery prices that aren't expensive: "Eggs are at pre-pandemic prices. Ah, beef is at, ah, less than $2 a pound for ground beef ... I think we have a lot to run on."

I'm not convinced Scott Jensen knows what the Auditor does. He's currently bloviating about food waste in Minnesota's free school meals program. The Auditor doesn't do anything with that. The Auditor's job to work with small towns and municipalities to support them in their work. That's it.

Trump’s planned sale of controversial bombs to Israel is largest in years
The pending transfer of the 2,000-pound munition, involved in scores of incidents resulting in civilian casualties, sets up a potential litmus test for Democrats.

The fact that both Democrats and Republicans are racing to the 10 side of a 90-10 issue really tells you a lot about the state of our democracy (it's a corporatocracy), and how both parties view democracy in general (as a nuisance).
NEW: As AI companies provoke intense scrutiny, former Obama White House official Jay Carney has joined an effort to “rebuild bonds” between Democrats and the AI industry.
Dem operatives are joining the AI industry in droves – we’ve tracked over 100 former Biden officials who made similar moves.
