Current status: we're smuggling eggs in from Mexico now. So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof! 1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing. 2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

PBO report found that a basic income floor can slash poverty by 40% at just 5% of what we're spending on poverty, saving taxpayer money. BNN Bloomberg has called it "trickle-up economics" that grows the economy and improves people's ability to retrain and find better work.

Regarding Acting DAG Bove's proposed dismissal of the Eric Adams prosecution, 3 former US Attorneys plead with Judge Ho to hear them out. They want to discuss "how best to develop the factual record" & whether he should "appoint counsel to investigate the events."

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

Cuomo was a consistent embarrassment as governor, did an impression of Chef Boyardee when confronted about his sex crime spree, and, through incompetence and malice, *killed a bunch of helpless people* and lied about it, and when he was confronted about THAT, responded “who cares?”
