Trump wanted to jam more hens into smaller spaces - making it harder for inspectors to access them - and making living conditions for egg laying hens worse. All so businesses could sell cheaper eggs.

The Trump administration will start selecting lawyers for unaccompanied minors. Meaning the judges work for Donald Trump, the prosecutors work for Trump, and now the attorneys representing children will work for Trump. This is a rigged system that will result in more untold horrors for these kids.

Why is Trump shouting out Russ Vought and saying, "we have some big surprises coming up in a few weeks, right Russ? He's gonna be one of the important people in the history of our country." Remember when they told us Project 2025 was fake? It’s not.

Brazilian stocks are soaring because investors see Bolsonaro as an opportunity. They’re betting on Brazil’s economy opening further to foreign capital through the familiar neoliberal playbook: deregulation and privatization for investors, austerity and cuts to social spending for everyone else.

Rising costs are one thing when you're talking about the Lower 48. In Alaska, it's a whole different ballgame – we're facing the highest costs in the nation. We need leaders fighting to bring costs down, not leaders who voted for the price-hiking Iran war more than 10 times.
