Three organizations representing thousands of ranchers in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas issued a joint statement Friday warning operations by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement are disrupting the agricultural community and will make beef prices spike again. Their statement is the beef's industry latest salvo against policies and actions by the Trump administration. The Texas Cattle Feeders Association, Kansas Livestock Association, and Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association said they are closely monitoring ICE's activity and the impacts it's creating. They described hearing reports of delays in shipping thousands of cattle to processors and workforce disruptions in important links of the supply chains such as dairies, feedyards, transportation hubs as well as feed and grain companies. "These ICE operations are having a massive chilling effect on the legal, documented, skilled workers that put beef on the table and keep the supply chain moving," the groups said.
The New Hampshire Libertarian Party has again issued a call for political violence. In a post Tuesday on X, the party's account wrote: "We openly support the assassination of basically every elected Democrat in New Hampshire." It's the latest in a series of calls for violence from the party's social media accounts, including against then-Vice President Kamala Harris and a former member of the state Executive Council. In a statement Wednesday, the New Hampshire Attorney General's office told NHPR, "We can confirm that the New Hampshire Department of Justice is aware of the social media posts. We would not be in a position to comment further at this time."
A bipartisan group of 14 senators urged President Donald Trump to rescind his invitation for Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend the Group of 20 summit in Miami in December. The letter, whose bipartisan signers were led by Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), chair of the Armed Services Committee, and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), the ranking member on the Foreign Relations Committee, came after Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the invitation on Wednesday. "President Putin bears sole responsibility for launching Russia's full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine," the senators wrote in the letter. "Allowing him to participate in a G20 Summit in the United States raises serious concerns about legitimizing and normalizing a government that continues to attack Ukrainian civilian targets every day."
"Since the epicenter of power' is not Washington, D.C. but Heaven, every morning I listen to a few chapters of the Bible on audiobook, and pray for God's wisdom and strength in whatever situations may arise."
