Members of Congress are being urged to investigate President Donald Trump’s plan to import hundreds of thousands of metric tons of foreign beef in a bid to lower grocery store costs, amid growing frustration from farm-state lawmakers and the nation’s embattled ranchers at the proposal.

Under the plan, the administration would allow up to 300,000 metric tons of lean beef trimmings into the U.S. tariff-free from a still-unspecified source country for a 90-day period beginning September 1—which Trump said would then be sold “at 25 percent below current market prices."

“Congress needs to have an emergency hearing on this,” John Boyd, founder and president of the National Black Farmers Association, said in response to the proposal, which the president said would “reduce prices for Americans while giving space for our Great American Beef Herd to grow again.”

Yeah, as the title goes, things are getting bad out there. The Mastodon post says more about it than I can atm.

Even alt mobile OSes are actively being targeted based on what's been happening with GrapheneOS lately, and what's stopping that apparent 'war on GrapheneOS' from extending to things like Linux or BSD on the desktop too?

I've made my closet tidier since then

I'm just not ready for her to be gone.

We have several of her books in our house and have read them to our granddaughter.

Several of her songs and covers of those songs have permanent space on my playlists.

I'm just happy I got to live at a time where I got to experience her art as she was making it and the impact she had on is as she was doing it.

L-R:

• Platinum Prefounte (M)
• Montblanc 146 (M)
• Pilot Capless Decimo (M)
• Hero 330 (Parker 51 demi clone) from circa 2000 with a 1.3-ish stub I ground myself back in the day as a college student with a dremel and wet-dry sandpaper. Actually writes like a dream as long as you keep it in its sweet spot
• Lamy Safari Demonstrator with knockoff 1.1 stub (wife bought me two of them a couple of years apart, so the second one got the experiment)

sometimes I wonder if she knows how much I love her. I like to think she does.

I get what the man did was bad. But just don't know how they caught him by using a new made up at the time science technique.
