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.

James: I entered into public service because I recognize the power of government—and that government should be, and has always been, a force for good. For those reasons, I am defending the United States government—defending it against these illegal and unlawful acts by this president

This is outrageous.

Actually, I’m in error. The Commerce Department numbers are March 31 numbers. Which means TRUMP STARTED A RECESSION in just TEN WEEKS

SIX MONTHS AGO.

Trump invites Scott Jennings on stage. Congrats, CNN!

Hey Siri—make an advertisement to convince people to tune out legacy media and support independent pro-democracy news outlets.

This. Is. How. You. Do. It.

Today’s corruption bulletin:

This guy, Dom Lucre, shared child sexual abuse material on Twitter, got banned for it, and then Musk reinstated him. Absolutely wild to see him being treated like a real journalist.

What could possibly go wrong

Opinion | The DOGE staffers are not too young to run the government. by Bill Belichick

Nazi Germany surrendered in May 1945. For Americans, the Second World War would rage for three more months, until VJ Day in August. But for Russians and those influenced by them, "Victory Day" falls in May. Trump follows the Russian practice, not the American.

ā€˜Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

you can say 'Merry Christmas' again. you just can't have any presents

100 DAYS...of lying, grifting, lawbreaking, division, incompetence, ignorance, illegal deportations, self-aggrandizement, vulgarity, self-pity, cruelty, ignoring the Supreme Court & due process while attacking: the Media, Universities, Law Firms, the Courts & Journalists. 1362 Days to go...

Mom & minor daughters are citizens who just moved from MD to Oklahoma. This statement from the Mom should be read, absorbed & circulated. ICE cannot be allowed to terrorize vulnerable families. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social kfor.com/news/local/w...

ā€œI couldā€ Seems pretty relevant.

The Trump administration has begun firing appointees to the board that oversees the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

This is real. I just looked.

Elizabeth Warren: "Donald Trump wants Jeff Bezos to bend the knee to him. It's all about power, corruption and chaos. He is doing something no President has ever contemplated - openly selling access in return for stirring up action in something he has a direct stake in."

•••IMPORTANT UPDATE••• The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Gerry Connolly, is calling for an investigation into DOGE's access to the National Labor Relations Board following NPR’s bombshell reporting on the sensitive data DOGE has allegedly been manipulating and stealing…

"Going before a grand jury isn’t a nicety or a minor procedural step. The Fifth Amendment requires it. Arresting Dugan before convening a grand jury was intended to get flashy headlines and whip the MAGA faithful into a frenzy."

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen. She has been on a govt salary for years. Something aint right

The staff is knifing Pete every night now

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

"I fought for it once, I'll fight for it again"

China just slashed U.S. oil imports by 90%… and is now importing record levels from Canada.

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

Ok I’ll say it. One cool thing Senate Dems did is all vote against Hegseth’s confirmation

Confirming Hegseth really was insanely reckless.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… ā€œThe opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.ā€ @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

I Completely Agree! You?šŸ˜ŠšŸ’™

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth is equally responsible and owns this. Your confirmation served as a stamp of approval and your judgment shouldn't be trusted. This goes for every failure of any official confirmed by the Senate.

"Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer ..." Comeon now. Why does this guy still have a job?

Thanks so much. If you liked my apperance on CNN, you can buy my book here. #Booksky #AutismAcceptanceMonth #ActuallyAutistic #AutisticAuthors #AutismAwarenessMonth www.harpercollins.com/products/wer...

Because one time wasn’t enough: ā€œDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyerā€ www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

BREAKING NYT: Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer. The info included the flight schedules for the F/A-18 Hornets targeting Houthis. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...
