This is America

from The Cycle- On Substack Hosted by Rachel "The Doc" Bitecofer 📈🔭

This week Rachel and Aaron discuss the Trump Administration’s reaction to Charlie Kirk’s death, his martyrdom, and what’s next on the march into authoritarianism. Plus, a trip to the front lines of Trump’s tariffs: rural America. Why are farmers are feeling the pinch first?
