Remember when egg prices were breaking everyone’s backs? Turns out the prices were fixed. This punishment isn’t fitting the crime. The difference between $1.2 billion in profits and a $3.3 million fine for lying to consumers is insane. The math isn’t mathing.

BREAKING: in June 2026, *every single one* of the 1,062 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 7,727 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.

what kind of shithole country gifts Dear Leader a billion-dollar taxpayer-funded Epstein Dance Hall™ while schoolteachers have to scrounge and crowdfund to buy chalk and erasers? how fucked up is that? thank you for your attention to today's extremely angry post. link is here: bit.ly/4tjyuhw
nobody asked for this. nobody said ‘hey let’s take the stately and historic East Wing and smash it to rubble so some piss-baby narcissist can build some ginormous monument to his own ego.’ no, this vulgar Epstein Dance Hall™ is being inflicted on us by a serial predator who isn’t big on consent.

think of how many teacher’s salaries a billion dollars could pay for. think of all the school supplies a billion dollars could buy.

The John Roberts Court has done more to reduce the political power of poor people and Black people while enlarging the voting rights of rich people and corporations than has any court since Roger Taney was Chief Justice in the 1800s. I opposed his nomination in 2005, and I stand by that.

On the economy, the White House apparently wants to pull a Jedi mind trick on the public. Bothered by high gas prices? Prices are “not very high.” Bothered by inflation? Inflation is “fake.” Dissatisfied with the struggling economy? The economy is the “best in history.” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Shrugging at “fake inflation,” Team Trump’s economic message takes a weird turn
Taken together, it seems as if the White House decided the way to change public attitudes on the economy is to try to pull some kind of Jedi mind trick.
