The cost of eggs in New Mexico keeps going up—if you can find them at all. Meanwhile, Trump has fired a quarter of the federal employees responsible for handling the bird flu response. It’s not just that he’s not helping, it’s that he’s actively making the problem worse.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
