Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

Harvard, ActBlue and now Wikipedia have all had their tax exempt status threatened by the government because they are independent voices of opposition to its policies. Claiming Wikipedia “spreads propaganda” as a reason to revoke its tax exempt status is an open & shut first amendment issue.

The White House Easter Egg Roll is sponsored by Amazon, Google, and Meta — who are all being sued by the federal government for antitrust violations. It's the first time the event has had corporate sponsors. Everything is for sale under Trump — and Big Tech wants to cash in.

Trump has gutted food inspection programs at the FDA and USDA — including the committee that investigated last year's fatal Boar's Head listeria outbreak. The USDA is also rolling back safety regulations to “streamline” meat processing. How is this Making America Healthy Again?

I know a lot of US citizens only care about US citizens, so I'll just go ahead and point out: when ICE arrests you, the due process would be the point where you prove you can't be deported because you're a US citizen. Without it, there's nothing stopping them from sending you to CECOT forever.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Shame on Planned Parenthood of Arizona for dropping their trans patients because of threats from Trump. What happens when they make you stop providing abortions? Birth control? PReP? Gonna roll over then too? These orgs complying are cowardly.

On Friday, April 11, traders placed large, aggressive bets that Apple’s stock would jump within days. They bought contracts that would only be profitable if the stock moved up fast. Hours later, the White House quietly announced a major policy shift. data-and-politics.ghost.io/173-returns-...

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.
