"Only a right-wing elitist would think that owning a bunch of farmland makes you a farmer," said one critic. "No, farming makes you a farmer, Scott. You’re an investor and landowner."
By Brett Wilkins
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent—a large landowner and former hedge fund manager worth north of half a billion dollars—faced widespread derision Sunday after claiming that he’s a soybean farmer who, like actual farmers, is suffering from President Donald Trump’s tariff war.
Asked by ABC “This Week” co-anchor Martha Raddatz about the apparent contradiction between Trump’s claim to care about American farmers and the pain inflicted upon them by his trade war—especially with China, which is boycotting US agricultural exports—Bessent said: “Well, Martha, I’m actually a soybean farmer. So... I have felt this pain, too.”
Bessent then tried to blame China for slashing US soybean imports and “using American farmers, who are amongst President Trump’s biggest supporters.”
The treasury secretary also mentioned the double whammy of tariffs and this season’s bumper soybean crop, which he said have created a “perfect storm.”
After Trump slapped 30% tariffs on Chinese imports in May, Beijing retaliated with measures including stopping all purchases of US soybeans. Before the trade war, a quarter of the soybeans—the nation’s number one export crop—produced in the United States were exported to China. Trump’s tariffs mean American soybean growers can’t compete with countries like Brazil, the world’s leading producer and exporter of the staple crop and itself the target of a 50% US tariff.
Critics swiftly pounced on Bessent’s comments, with one actual farmer pointing out on X that the centimillionaire “owns up to $25 million worth of corn and soybean farmland... and earns as much as $1 million a year in rental income from the land.”
Some social media users sardonically shared an artificial intelligence-generated image of Bessent standing in a field wearing overalls. Others posted a photo of John Ravenel House, the historic Charleston mansion he sold earlier this year for $18.5 million plus $3 million for furniture and fixtures—reportedly the highest price ever in the South Carolina city.
Spencer Ross, an associate professor at the Lowell Manning School of Business at the University of Massachusetts, noted that Bessent “promised—and failed—to divest his ”$25 million of rent-seeking soybean property.“
“I cannot imagine another farmer considering [Bessent’s investments] actively being a ‘farmer,'” Ross added before referencing the last president who actually grew crops. “I’m fairly certain Jimmy Carter wouldn’t.”
Author and activist Tim Wise quipped on social media: “Only a right-wing elitist would think that owning a bunch of farmland makes you a farmer. No, farming makes you a farmer, Scott. You’re an investor and landowner.”
Trump waited nearly a week to deploy federal resources to help with flood rescue and recovery. One emergency management expert called it "absolutely insane."
By Stephen Prager
A nearly week-long funding delay by President Donald Trump, as well as cuts to federal weather forecasting personnel, likely exacerbated the devastation caused by the historic storm that hit Alaska earlier this month, a report from The Guardian revealed on Monday.
On October 12, the Yukon-Kuskokwim delta, a remote area in southwestern Alaska which is home to about 20,000 Yup’ik Alaska Natives, was hit by one of the worst storms in its history—one that, Rick Thoman, a meteorologist and climate expert at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, explains was caused by a the remnants of a typhoon “likely fueled by the Pacific’s near-record warm surface temperatures this fall.”
More than 2,000 people have now been forced to evacuate the region, with hundreds now taking shelter in a sports stadium on the University of Alaska Anchorage campus after being airlifted to safety by the Alaska National Guard. According to Gov. Mike Dunleavy (R), it could be more than 18 months before the survivors are able to return due to the severity of the damage.
On October 16, Dunleavy sent a request for Trump to issue a federal disaster declaration, which would free up around $25 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). That money would be used to clear debris, carry out protection and rescue operations, and shield roads, bridges, and other infrastructure from damage. It would also distribute funds to survivors of the storm to help them rebuild their homes and lives in the aftermath of the disaster.
“This incident is of such severity and magnitude that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the state and affected local governments, and that supplementary federal assistance is necessary to save lives, protect property, public health, and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a disaster,” the request said.
Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) wrote in a follow-up to Dunleavy’s request the following day: “With winter fast approaching, and transportation and broadband connectivity limited, there is an urgent need for federal aid to repair housing, restore utilities, and secure heating fuel before severe winter conditions set in.”
Trump would not approve the request until October 22—keeping the essential funding frozen for nearly a full week.
As the wait went on, Dr. Samantha Montano, a professor of emergency management at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, wrote on social media that the delay was “directly keeping funding out of the hands of disaster survivors who need it.”
“This disaster is of a severity that the request would have normally been signed within a day of receiving a governor’s request,” Montano added. “Not doing so is a deeply alarming departure from what Americans have come to expect from the federal government in times of disaster.”
It’s not the first time this year that the Trump administration, which has announced its goal to “phase out” FEMA, has been met with scrutiny for a delayed disaster response.
When a flood devastated Texas this year, resulting in at least 138 deaths, Homeland Security Secretary DOG KILLERKristi Noemwaited for more than three days to authorize funds for the battered region, which delayed the critical work of search and rescue teams and aerial surveillance of the damage. The ability to warn residents was also reportedly hindered by the firing of National Weather Service (NWS) employees; meanwhile, the firing of FEMA contractors left thousands of phone calls from survivors unanswered.
According toThe Guardian, Trump’s cuts may have played a similar role in Alaska. As a result of mass layoffs at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the agency was forced to adopt a state of “degraded operations,” which included cancelling weather balloon launches from many of its most remote offices, including in Alaska.
Thoman noted that many of the areas impacted by the storm had not seen any weather balloon tests for several days or even months, which may have resulted in the storm’s path remaining unclear until less than a day and a half before it crossed into Alaskan waters, which he said was “too late for evacuations in many places.”
The lack of information would have made forecasting more difficult for meteorologists, who are already overloaded as a result of staffing cuts. The National Weather Service’s Alaska region’s 200-person workforce was slashed by over 10% earlier this year. One meteorologist, who requested anonymity, told The Guardian that “we are understaffed” and that it seems like there is more on all our plates with the staffing shortages.“
Thoman also said other cuts may have impacted the ability to warn residents about the impending storm. He noted that KYUK, the public radio station in the region’s largest town, had lost 70% of its funding last month when the Trump administration stripped funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
Notably, Trump eventually signed off on disaster aid for Alaska and has done the same for other Republican-led states like Nebraska, North Dakota, and Missouri. However, without explanation, he has denied the same funding to blue states, including Maryland, Vermont, and Illinois, leading to accusations that he is politicizing disaster aid.
But Alaska, one of the front lines of the climate crisis, has hardly been spared. In addition to the beleaguered federal response, the administration also canceled a $20 million Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grant in May that was intended to protect the Alaska Native village of Kipnuk from coastal flooding and erosion caused by rising sea levels. It referred to the program as “no longer consistent” with agency priorities, with EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin calling it an example of “wasteful DEI [diversity, equity, and inclusion] and environmental justice grants.”
Four months later, Kipnuk became engulfed in over six feet of water, and about 90% of the homes and structures there were destroyed. Nearly all of its residents were evacuated. The village may never be rebuilt.
"One of the most disgusting things you'll see today, but also extremely revealing," one critic said of Karine Jean-Pierre's appearance on MSNBC.
By Jake Johnson
Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said over the weekend that she’s “very proud of everything” she did during her tenure as a spokesperson for the Biden administration and would not “take anything back,” despite spending more than a year defending US support for Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza.
“Obviously, what’s happening is heartbreaking,” Jean-Pierre said of the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza when pressed on the issue during an appearance on MSNBC. She went on to express hope for a lasting ceasefire and long-term peace agreement.
Acknowledging that “we did not get everything right,” Jean-Pierre said unequivocally, “I was very proud of everything that I did.”
“I woke up every day as a Black woman who is queer... No one had ever seen someone like me at that podium standing behind that lectern,” she said. “It was an honor and a privilege.”
Watch:
Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, called Jean-Pierre’s interview “one of the most disgusting things you’ll see today, but also extremely revealing.”
“She uses the identity card to make genocide apologism permissible,” Parsi wrote on Sunday. “In Jean-Pierre’s world, her identity gives her the license to support genocide without regret.”
Jean-Pierre is making the media rounds as she promotes her new book, Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines, in which she explains her decision to exit the Democratic Party.
As Washington Postbook critic Becca Rothfeld noted in a scathing review, Jean-Pierre did not cite the Biden administration’s steadfast support for Israel’s decimation of Gaza as among the reasons she ditched her former party.
“Jean-Pierre’s central complaint boils down, more or less, to a vague sense of personal grievance. The Democrats were mean to [President Joe] Biden, her boss; they were mean to her personally,” Rothfeld wrote. “Jean-Pierre sums up her complaints when she writes that she’s ‘exasperated with the shady way Democrats do business’—but not, we may presume, with the business itself.”
Part of that business under the Biden administration was providing material and diplomatic support to Israel as it waged all-out war on the Gaza Strip following the deadly Hamas-led attack of October 7, 2023.
As chief spokesperson for the Biden White House, Jean-Pierre stood before the press and the global community and defended the administration’s support for Israel’s assault while criticizing international efforts to pursue accountability for Israeli leaders, as well as efforts by US lawmakers to halt the flow of weaponry used to massacre Palestinians indiscriminately.
“We strongly oppose this resolution,” Jean-Pierre said last November when asked about a Sen. Bernie Sanders-led push to block US bomb sales to Israel.
“We are very committed to Israel’s security,” Jean-Pierre added. “That has been ironclad.”
"He was a big victor, and he had a lot of help from us," the president boasted.
By Brad Reed
President Donald Trump on Monday took credit after his political ally, Argentine President Javier Milei, scored a major victory in his country’s midterm elections following Trump’s decision to bail out the South American country’s struggling economy.
According to BBC, Milei’s La Libertad Avanza party on Sunday won 41% of the vote, helping it secure more than half of contested Senate seats and just under half of contested lower-house seats.
While speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump boasted of his administration’s efforts to help Milei secure a victory that will help him push through his radical right-wingausterity agenda that had previously been kept in check by opposition parties, which had overturned his vetos on laws that aimed to increase funding for state universities, people with disabilities, and children’s healthcare.
“He was a big victor, and he had a lot of help from us,” Trump said, referring to Milei. “He had a lot of help. I gave him an endorsement, a very strong endorsement.”
The Trump administration last month initiated a $20 billion bailout for Argentina intended to stabilize the country’s currency, which has seen its value plummet to dangerous lows over the last several months. In addition, Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent have orchestrated another $20 billion bailout with private funds to support the nation’s beleaguered economy.
The bailouts have come as Trump has refused to use emergency funds to ensure that Americans who rely on food assistance can feed their families next month, as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program is set to go unfunded due to the US government shutdown.
Trump emphasized that the bailout was entirely contingent on Milei’s political success in the midterm elections, and that it would be rescinded if his party fared poorly.
“If he loses, we’re not going to be generous with Argentina,” Trump said earlier this month.
Milei’s political future appeared much more tenuous just one month ago, when his party lost Buenos Aires provincial elections in what some political observers believed were an ill omen for this month’s midterms. Milei had also been rocked corruption scandals, including an alleged bribery scheme involving his sister, Karina Milei.
Matt Stoller, researcher at the American Economic Liberties Project, directly linked Trump’s coercion campaign to Milei’s political success.
“It turns out that Argentine voters would prefer Trump give them dollars for free than have another financial crisis,” he wrote on X. “Six weeks ago, Milei lost Buenos Aires by 14%. Today he won it. I wonder what changed.”
Stoller rejected a Wall Street Journal analysis claiming Argentinian voters, who are struggling with high unemployment numbers and surging prices on essentials, embraced “a free-market revolution” by voting for Milei.
“The reason for a massive swing to Milei in six weeks was Trump’s offer of free dollars vs. the prospect of economic collapse,” he said. “Nothing to do with free markets. A blatant lie.”
"While Donald Trump's billionaire donors think that they have the money to buy this election, we have a movement of the masses," Zohran Mamdani said during the sold-out rally in Queens.
But during the governor’s remarks, chants of “tax the rich!” rang out—an apparent criticism of her stated opposition to Mamdani’s call for wealthy New York City residents and corporations to pay more in taxes to fund universal childcare and other proposals.
“Oh, this crowd is fired up,” Hochul said in response to the chants. “I can hear you.”
Polling indicates that Mamdani—a 34-year-old democratic socialist whose campaign has focused on offering bold solutions to the city’s worsening inequality and cost-of-living crisis—is the clear frontrunner heading into the November 4 contest, with disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa trailing significantly.
But Mamdani implored his supporters to ignore such data and “go into the last eight days of this election assuming you are five points behind.”
“While Donald Trump’s billionaire donors think that they have the money to buy this election, we have a movement of the masses,” Mamdani told the crowd of around 13,000 gathered in Forest Hills Stadium in Queens. “No longer will we allow the Republican Party to be the one of ambition. No longer will we have to open a history book to read about Democrats leading with big ideas.”
“No longer should we think about our political process as settling for the lesser of two evils,” he said. “We can demand a greater good.”
Sanders (I-Vt.) also zeroed in on the billionaire forces arrayed against Mamdani, a group that includes hedge fund manager Bill Ackman and casino mogul Steve Wynn.
“Ordinary people get one vote. Billionaires get the opportunity to spend as much as they want to elect the candidates they want,” Sanders said, decrying the influence of super PACs that can accept unlimited political donations. “That is the context in which this election is taking place.”
Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), meanwhile, cast the race as one that “mirrors what we are up against nationally, both an authoritarian criminal presidency, fueled by corruption and bigotry and an ascendant right-wing extremist movement,” as well as the “insufficient, eroded, bygone political establishment, this time in the form of Andrew Cuomo.”
“Both of these challenges,” said Ocasio-Cortez, “are fueled and funded by the same billionaire class whose apparent greatest fear is an equitable, affordable, and prosperous nation and city for all, not just the very few.”
One hurricane historian said the world is "witnessing history on satellite right now" as the people of Jamaica came under evacuation orders and braced for impact of a storm that threatens severe flooding, landslides, and winds of over 200 mph.
By Jon Queally
The people of Jamaica are making emergency preparations on Monday as Hurricane Melissa intensified overnight, with meteorologists in awe of the scale and shape of the “monster” storm now bearing down on the island nation, already saturated from previous rains and bracing for what could be a major climate-related catastrophe.
In a 5:00 am EDT advisory on Monday, the US National Hurricane Center said Melissa is “now a Category 5 Hurricane” and warned of “destructive winds and storm surge and catastrophic flooding” that would worsen across Jamaica throughout the day and into the night. Landfall is expected Tuesday morning, with devastating consequences across the island nation.
The storm, reports the Weather Channel, “will be one of the most intense, devastating hurricanes on record in Jamaica, with widespread flooding, landslides, and destructive winds.”
Some areas of eastern Jamaica could be inundated with up to 40 inches of rain, more than some areas of the country typically get in a year.
Wind speeds in mountainous areas could be 30% higher that the main storm, meaning potential winds of more than 200 mph.
With Cuba, Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, and Haiti also within reach of the storm’s impacts, governments across the region are ordering evacuations of the most vulnerable areas and preparing infrastructure for the rescue and recovery operations from the life-threatening destruction almost certain to be unleashed.
“Hurricane Melissa could be one of the most intense and devastating hurricanes on record for Jamaica,” said Katharine Hayhoe, a professor of climate science, “and it’s rapidly becoming a textbook example of how climate change is making hurricanes more dangerous: explosive intensification, slow movement, and massive rainfall.”
In a Monday morning address to the nation, Prime Minister Andrew Holness urged “every Jamaican to prepare, stay indoors during the storm, and comply with evacuation orders. Check on your neighbours, especially the elderly and vulnerable, and continue to pray for our nation’s safety.”
Melissa is now the third storm of the 2025 hurricane season to reach Category 5 status, the first time that has happened in the Atlantic since 2005, the year a devastating Hurricane Katrina struck communities along the US Gulf Coast.
Weather experts expressed alarm about the storm’s size, power, and trajectory overnight.
Jordan Smith, a meteorologist with WJHG-TV in Panama City, Florida, said he was “absolutely speechless” after seeing the latest satellite images of the storm.
“This satellite image of Hurricane Melissa needs to be put in meteorology textbooks,” exclaimed Smith. “Please, everyone, send all your prayers and thoughts to the island of Jamaica. Catastrophic impacts are expected on so many levels. Jamaica will be unrecognizable after this."
Michael Ferragamo, a hurricane historian, said the world is “witnessing history on satellite right now,” just before Melissa officially hit Category 5 status.
In remarks to reporters on Sunday night, Desmond Mackenzie, Jamaica’s minister of local government and community development, warned that many Jamaican communities “will not survive” the flooding predicted for the island. McKenzie said all citizens, residents, and visitors to the island should follow the instructions of the government and emergency officials.
“This is not the time for people to become complacent. I believe that we have been giving Jamaicans adequate notice,” he said. “I can only urge Jamaicans to heed the warnings.”

A legal advocacy group requested on Monday that the Illinois officials open criminal investigations into the “unlawful” conduct of federal agents deployed to Chicago by President Donald Trump.
Free Speech For People, a national pro-democracy nonprofit, called on state Attorney General Kwame Raoul, Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke, and Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling to probe what it called “an escalating pattern of criminal activity by federal agents” over the past two months of Trump’s "Operation Midway Blitz," which was launched in early September, and which the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says has resulted in the arrests of more than 1,500 people.
The group highlights several incidents of what they called “military-style operations” carried out across the Chicago area by agencies including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and others.
Agents have shot at least two Chicago residents—a 38-year-old Mexican father of two, Silverio Villegas Gonzalez, and a 30-year-old anti-ICE protester and US citizen, Marimar Martinez—with DHS accusing each of ramming their car into officers. In bothcases, those accounts would later be called into question by body camera and other footage.
Elsewhere, agents who rappelled from military helicopters would conduct an overnight raid on a South Shore apartment building, where they indiscriminately broke down residents’ doors, smashed furniture and belongings, and dragged dozens of them, including children, into U-Haul vans, where some were detained for hours.
The letter details cases of what appears to be overt racial profiling. It notes that Gregory Bovino, the commander of the border patrol operation in Chicago, had suggested that people were being detained based on “how they look” and seemed to hint that the white reporter he spoke to would be less likely to be arrested than others.
In one case, a Latina US citizen, 44-year-old Maria Greeley, was detained at her workplace and held with zip ties for an hour, while officers insisted her passport—which she always carries with her in case of arrest by immigration authorities—was “fake,” because she “doesn’t look like” her last name was Greeley.
Others have been attacked for protesting or attempting to document ICE raids. Outside the ICE detention facility in the suburb of Broadview, the group said officers’ conduct has been “especially brazen.”
The facility, where hundreds of detainees are held in reportedly squalid conditions, has been the flashpoint for protests across the city. Many have been met with violence from federal officers, including Pastor David Black, who was shot in the head with a pepper ball while praying outside the facility.
And after being told by Kristi Noem that she and Trump were “sick” of the way protesters were “speaking” about federal law enforcement and that there should be “consequences,” Bovino led a force that fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters and journalists in the state’s designated free speech area outside the ICE facility.
Others have been arrested simply for attempting to document and question ICE’s actions during arrest. Alderwoman Jessie Fuentes, who is Puerto Rican, was handcuffed by officers after demanding to know if officers had a warrant for a man they were attempting to detain in a hospital emergency room. In another case, officers broke through the gate of a cemetery to detain two US citizens who were filming their activity, which is protected under the First Amendment.
“These are not law-enforcement operations; they are acts of political violence,” said Courtney Hostetler, Free Speech For People’s legal director. “President Trump and his agents are using the power of the federal government to kidnap residents, terrorize communities, and attack people for exercising their First Amendment rights. State officials have both the power and the duty to act.”
Though the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution limits the ability of states to impede federal law enforcement, Ben Clements, the group’s chairman and senior legal adviser, said “federal agents do not have a license to commit crimes.”
The group noted that the police chief of Broadview, Thomas Mills, has already initiated three criminal investigations into ICE officers for making false 911 calls to his office, striking protesters with their cars, and shooting a pepper ball at CBS News Chicago reporter Asal Rezaei’s vehicle outside the facility.
“When federal officials become the perpetrators of violence and illegality, it falls to the states to defend the rule of law,” said Ben Horton, counsel at Free Speech For People. “Illinois must not wait for and, with this lawless administration, cannot rely on Washington to police itself.”
The group argued that not only should agents accused of crimes be charged, but that criminal liability extends to Trump and his senior officials who have ordered agents to detain as many people as possible.
“The brutality and illegality of these operations are a feature, not a bug,” the letter says. “They are designed to crush dissent and spread fear among President Trump’s perceived political enemies and marginalized communities.”
The nation's paper of record downplayed the 'No Kings" protests while urging Democrats to move toward the center to defeat Trump, all the while ignoring the GOP's attempt to undermine election integrity.
We’re not quite a year into Donald Trump’s second term in office. Under the circumstances, three more years could prove a long, long time for him and his crew to perhaps even literally crown him as the first American king.
We urge all members of the Senate and House Foreign Relations Committees to read the latest UN report on the genocide and to invite experts to testify at hearings on US complicity and participation in war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Palestine.
