Farmers are going bankrupt, John Deere is fledgling, and Donald Trump just gave a bailout to Argentina? 😡 We lost our #1 export country in China and for him, every day is just another walk in the park. Thank you CBS Evening News for coming to the Quad Cities and telling our local story.
Pretty decent earthquake happened about 20 minutes ago in the San Francisco Bay Area. If you have friends or family there, needless to say they’re probably wide awake now. It would hae to be pretty shallow to cause any damage, but quite a jolt nonetheless.

Elections don’t just happen. I need your signature to get on your ballot! Bloomington, I’m looking at you. Share with your neighbors and come see me Saturday! RSVP in the comments:
The President of the United States, who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution has declared war on our third largest city. This is not funny. This is dangerous. Every American must denounce it.

Delighted to announce Congressman and Meteorologist @ericsorensen.bsky.social has endorsed my candidacy for Congress in Virginia's First Congressional District. He is the first current Member of Congress to publicly endorse a candidate in this race. Many thanks for his work and his support!
It amazes me how many Republicans walk in Labor Day Parades, taking credit for their support of the labor movement when all their votes in office show otherwise. The American people know better!
I have reached out to Bishop Malloy of the Rockford Diocese and Bishop Tylka of the Peoria Diocese to offer my condolences and support to every parishioner. We must move forward together with a resolution of peace and purpose in a time when hate has caused so much violence. 2/2
