The egg price crowd has been awfully quiet since the price of eggs nearly doubled on Trump's watch-- and the price of just about everything else is set to rise in the coming days and weeks.

CNN's Jim Acosta signing off: "I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too." I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too. Pass it on.

Yesterday, I asked whether for Trump, cruelty is the point or it's much worse. "We stand at a place where it is important to know if the man with nuclear codes has a depraved mind or simply a damaged one." I received many responses, but have been waiting for @gtconway.bsky.social to weigh in...

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

I don't know why being a criminal is normalized these days. It's clear that the line between right & wrong is being blurred, and it’s up to us to demand accountability. Because, silence only fuels their evil agenda. I wonder how much more of this shit can we let slip by, before it’s too late?🤔

Nobody gets rich off of Social Security. Most people like me are barely subsisting on the program,. But it has helped from keeping us homeless and penniless. We paid every single cent into the program! It’s our money.
