First stop on Farm Tour Day 2: Phoenix Fruit Farm & Country Store in Belchertown. They do pick-your-own, market through a farm stand on Route 181 and sell to local grocery stores.
Owner Elly Vaughan is committed to using the most eco-friendly practices and bringing the principles of responsible land stewardship & environmental awareness to orcharding.

This is exactly why buying & eating local is good for our environment!
We are so lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places in America. At Phoenix Fruit Farm we have an amazing view of the Quabbin Reservoir, Belchertown Center, and the Pioneer Valley beyond.
Listen to owner Elly Vaughan talk about her innovative & environmentally friendly farming practices that are good for our local ecosystem!

Today I voted YES on the Protecting and Securing Florida’s Coastline Act (H.R. 205) and The Coastal and Marine Economies Protection Act (H.R. 1941) to #ProtectOurCoast from offshore drilling.
These bills are a direct rejection of this administration’s handouts to corporate polluters.

Trump has surrounded himself with big oil allies & now he’s trying to open up some of the most vulnerable stretches of our coastline to drilling. Enough is enough!
The bottom line is that Americans don’t want more offshore drilling. We’ve seen what happens with catastrophies like the BP spill that went on for months & spewed 200 million gallons of oil onto our beaches.

It’s time to #ProtectOurCoasts and put #PeopleOverPolluters.

NEWS: I have introduced the PROTECT Hong Kong Act alongside @RepChrisSmith & @RepRoKhanna.

U.S. companies should not be helping Chinese and Hong Kong authorities shut down and silence peaceful protest.
In case you haven’t been following along, the people of Hong Kong are peacefully protesting for democracy and human rights.

They are being met with violence and repression by the Hong Kong police. hongkongfp.com/2019/09/01/hon…

1/ I salute the 12 years of outstanding work by the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala (@CICIGgt), investigating and supporting the prosecution of serious crimes and contributing to strengthening the rule of law. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
2/ Today is CICIG’s final day. I thank Commissioner @Ivan_Velazquez and the CICIG staff for their comprehensive final report which includes a road map for sustaining the progress made to date. It now falls on the Guatemalan Attorney General, judicial system...
3/ ...and the whole Guatemalan government to continue the fight to end corruption and impunity and to protect and promote human rights.

To begin, the Guatemalan government must guarantee the protection and security of CICIG’s staff who are already receiving threats against...

Here’s a remarkable fact: Dollar stores are now feeding more Americans than Whole Foods is – even though most dollar stores have no fresh food, only a limited selection of packaged items. 1/
My colleague @mlynndonahue just published a terrific in-depth look at the rapid growth of dollar stores and the impact they’re having. Here’s a quick look at her findings. 2/

@mlynndonahue Dollar stores are multiplying at breakneck speed. Since 2011, the two dominant chains — Dollar General & Dollar Tree (which owns Family Dollar) have grown from 20k to 30k locations. And they say they have identified an additional 20,000 locations. 3/

1/ I’ve said a few times that I think @Instacart will win in grocery delivery. They will beat @Amazon. It isn’t a popular view, and there aren’t a lot of folks that bet against any part of the Amazon machine.
2/ I know, I know – insane to bet against a trillion $ business. Maybe. But a little insanity is what you need as a private investor. Or an entrepreneur.

Let me lay out the argument and see if there is a good response other than “yeah but Amazon has a lot of money.”
3/ First, Amazon already tried to vertically integrate. It didn’t work. Amazon Fresh failed. It failed when they already had ~100m prime members along with all of the other mothership benefits. Still didn’t matter.

Now their offering is called Amazon Prime Now.

Q predicted the Hawaii missile alert prior to its occurrence, and coordinated this prediction with Julian Assange of WikiLeaks. Here is how it happened:
Weeks prior to this event, on Nov. 1, 2017, while addressing events that would be happening in the upcoming future, Q posted, “We will be initiating the Emergency Broadcast System (EMS) during this time in an effort to provide a direct message (avoid fake news) to all citizens.."
"Organizations and/or people that wish to do us harm during this time will be met with swift fury – certain laws have been pre-lifted to provide our great military the necessary authority to handle and conduct these operations (at home and abroad)."
