We’ve long believed that American politics would be a whole lot better if people like him – working folks who care for the land and their communities so well – were representing us.
And now he is. On Tuesday night, [regenerative farmer Jamie] Ager won the House race for North Carolina’s 11th congressional district, resoundingly flipping a Republican seat that Donald Trump won handily in 2024.
He wasn’t alone. Democrats tore into Republicans’ rural vote margins, wiping out almost half of Trump’s colossal 40-point advantage in 2024. Of the 21 most rural-populated states that held elections for US Senate, Democrats won in 10 of them, including states like Kansas, Mississippi and Iowa, all long surrendered to the Republican juggernaut.
Get online and sign the online petitions (there are quite a few, with one having close to a million signatures), to remove Jeffries and Schumer from the party leadership. I honestly want Bernie running the Senate, or another progressive like him. Schumer and Jeffries are just paid off broke-dick do nothings. We need someone who will prosecute people in the Epstein files, not more “we’re going to play nice, because it’s safer that way” excuses for inaction. If Democrats want to keep the power they gained this week, they’d better start punishing the Epstein class. Otherwise, heads will roll (politically) come next November. We gave them a big chance to fix shit and end the criminality in DC, now, they either put up, or fuck off.
