More small farm owners are onboard for Biden. They see #TFG as a threat:
A growing number of rural Americans now plan to vote for Biden.
During Trump’s previous tariff campaign that began in 2018, many farmers in MI, an election swing state, railed against the former president’s actions. Under the Biden admin, farming incomes have increased significantly, in large part due to govt assistance and a post-pandemic bump in demand for AG products.
Some billionaires understand that Biden is better than #TFG, for business, the #economy, & #democracy, & are willing to spend millions to ensure that the president wins a second term.
Former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg, the billionaire entrepreneur and former Democratic presidential candidate, has given nearly $20 million to help President Biden’s reelection effort, according to people familiar with the donations.
The global economy is in better shape than it was at the start of the year, thanks largely to the performance of the #UnitedStates, the World Bank said in its latest forecast Tues.

Rs would brag about how the economy became good -moment they took charge -reap the pol spoils. Some WH aides want a message -empathy toward the economic plight of certain Americans. Dems could characterize the situation accurately -most prosperous period in our lifetimes +promise to help everyone share in the bounty. Biden/Dems can take pride in their accomplishments -not to be taken in by prophets of false doom.
Another accomplishment for the Biden admin: jobs, electric grid stability & economic growth:
"Biden-Harris Administration Announces Final Transmission Permitting Rule and Latest Investments To Accelerate the Build Out of a Resilient, Reliable, Modernized Electric Grid."
#BlueMAga really better hope #Trump doesn't get elected, or they'll have a hard time explaining why they're suddenly appalled at a #genocide that they'd been pretty blithe about for an entire year.
The budget has $258 billion to build or fix over 2 million homes. It will help millions of first-time homebuyers, give affordable housing to hundreds of thousands of very poor veterans and young people leaving foster care, and help end homelessness.
The budget also has things that will make it cheaper to rent or buy a home, build more homes, make the economy stronger, and make sure everyone has a fair chance to own a home.
The (infrastructure) law is actually increasing pollution and contributing to the continued disruption and displacement of Black communities, according to a new report by the climate policy group Transportation for America.
According to the new report, what has primarily happened is a repeat of that history: freeways, highways, and more roads.
Out of the more than 55,000 projects totaling roughly $130 billion implemented through the $1.2 trillion spending package, nearly half of the spending has been allocated to highway expansion.
I seem to remember many Very Serious People around here who assured us that #Biden's unconditional arming of #Netanyahu was smart, strategic foreign policy that would make the latter more compliant. 🤔
