Trae Crowder, Mark Agee, & Matt Hildreth: Fight Back Vote YES, Virginia! · Rural GroundGame You’re here and we need you! At Trump’s direction, several red-state legislatures have gerrymandered their congressional maps (or are in the process) to give Republicans an unfair advantage. Virginia Democrats have introduced a temporary, emergency measure to FIGHT BACK. We're calling voters to urge them to vote YES on VA’s redistricting referendum, on or before April 21. We're thrilled to be joined by the Team from Weekly Skews: Trae Crowder, Mark Agee, and Matt Hildreth who will kick things off at 5:30pm before calls start at 6pm. This event will be led by our friends at Virginia Young Democrats. Time is short, and there’s a lot of disinformation being sent out, but your impact can be massive with our high-capacity Scale to Win dialer. We’re not just dialing for Virginia — we’re dialing for the survival of our country’s democracy. Bring friends, and together we can get Virginia to YES! More info on this Election here: https://www.ruralgroundgame.org/voteyes Training for newcomers and ongoing support will be available during every phone bank. If you've never used a dialer before, consider watching this video ahead of time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMqsfqpHPvU

We're joining the Rural Ground Game Vote YES on VA’s Redistricting Referendum phone bank! Join us at 5:30 ET on 4/14

The White House launched OnlyFarms.com this week and held an event to celebrate it. C'mon CornHub was right there!

Also at the event: a golden tractor gifted to Trump.

New ep of Weekly Skews is out now! weeklyskews.substack...

Up at DHS, Lewandowski and Noem — who are both married to other people but apparently work VERY closely together — are allegedly running the place like a Real Housewives reunion. Berating senior staff, polygraphing folks they don’t trust, and firing people over a blanket.

John Mitnick (who helped create DHS, served as White House counsel, and was Trump’s own DHS general counsel) says he’s “enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty” and calls to impeach or remove Trump now.

2,300 times since July, federal judges have ruled that ICE illegally detained people without bond or due process. There’s a word for that: kidnapping.

This isn’t “immigration enforcement.”

Most of the people detained were here legally or are U.S. citizens. Two citizens were killed.

ICE is trying to force a riot in cities like Portland, Chicago, and Philly — because they want the Insurrection Act.

Anyone who went on their 8th-grade trip to Washington, DC knows exactly what Drew is talking about.

Gotta give @aftynbehn.bsky.social some credit for her part in fomenting the House GOP mayhem!

Nice work

That NYT is covering TN07, a district Trump won by 22 pts is testament to the campaign @aftynbehn.bsky.social ran

She's an organizer's organizer, listened to voters and spoke to them with a clear message

And forced Trump & Republicans to spend millions on a race they expected would be a cake walk

This week, @thetraecrowder.bsky.social and @markagee.bsky.social sat down with @aftynbehn.bsky.social to talk about her run in the TN-07 special election on December 2nd.

🥪 The Sandwich Guy walks free! 🇺🇸 Y’all remember the dude who threw a Subway sandwich at a Border Patrol agent? They actually dragged him through a four-day jury trial for that — and he still beat the charge.

Bessent on American farmers being hurt by tariffs: "Martha, in case you don't know it, I'm actually a soybean farmer, so I have felt this pain too."

Donald Trump is using Border Patrol like a movie crew — 300 federal agents, helicopters, drones & cameras turning midnight raids on Black & immigrant families into action-movie propaganda.

Trae and Mark break down the origins of the so-called “antifa” movement, from Google Trends spikes in 2017 to a White House petition cooked up by alt-right troll Microchip.

Trae Crowder and Mark Agee break down the bizarre Tom Homan bribery saga — from FBI entrapment claims to tax fraud risks.

"Can you imagine how it feels being Prince Andrew? You got banished for Epstein stuff, and then your brother, who's now the king, is having a state dinner with the other, the third guy from your Epstein group chat." - Mark Agee

Prince Andrew, Trump & Epstein: The World’s Worst Group Chat

On this episode of Good Skews, Producer Matt sits down with singer, songwriter, and podcaster Lizzie No to talk about the folk revival happening right now.

Mark and Trae dig into the bizarre background of the new CDC director, who has ties to Peter Thiel and longevity influencer Brian Johnson—the guy who injects his son’s blood plasma and posts about his erections online.

As measles cases surge to a 33-year high, some pharma investors are literally banking on more people getting sick.

Mark and Trae break down a viral video of a mom rinsing the dye off Skittles before giving them back to her kids. Because, you know, the real danger in candy isn’t the sugar, chemicals, or cavities—it’s the color.

The 2025 Virginia election is one of the biggest in the country. Every statewide office + 100 House seats are on the ballot. Producer Matt talks with Lynlee Thorne of Rural Ground Game about the amazing progress being made in the commonwealth. www.buzzsprout.com/1...

The price of 1 lb of ground beef is now higher than the federal minimum hourly wage…

That’s sad. 😢

Trae & Mark break down why calls to “follow the money” terrify the GOP and Democrats, how elite impunity is wearing thin, and why left-wing populism might be the system’s worst nightmare.

Why are politicians so bad at this? Nobody cares about your cleverness right now.

Trump and Noem have completely fucked up FEMA.

Emergency officials in NC and WY say federal support has vanished, while catastrophic floods rage on. Trump plans to phase out FEMA entirely, leaving states to fend for themselves. #fema #texasfloods #trump #nationalweatherservice

Young voters showed up in NYC—and Zoran’s win proves why.
No crypto pandering. No corny slang.

Just real talk, bold policy, and a visit with Cum Town (of course)

Over 1,100 young people hit up @runforsomething to run for office.
This is how you do it. #zohrankmamdani

Sen. Tillis announced he’s not running for reelection — and went out swinging. After years of toeing the party line, he finally called out a GOP-backed bill as a lie, saying the Medicare cuts were hidden until after the midterms just to protect incumbents.

Is it bravery? Too little, too late?

Why are so many rich people in the US whiny babies?
