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.

Trump-appointed Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 the DOJ from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants. The ruling, limited to Southern Texas, found the president’s claims about a Venezuelan gang didn’t amount to an “invasion. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/u...

President Trump says he can bring a Marylander home to his family—but won't. Sounds like he has contempt for the law and the court. "Where law ends, tyranny begins."

Warnings of language as a weapon of manipulation, obfuscation and oppression run through George Orwell’s work. It is a reason you could be excused for hearing real-life echoes of scenes from “1984” emanating from Washington, Matthew Purdy writes.

We should all be terrified to live in an America where legal residents can be detained, held at gunpoint, or deported because of the color of their skin or because the President disagrees with their views.

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

Naval Academy to follow Trump orders to end diversity in admissions & books. Their library contains 900 books that may run afoul of defense sec’ order- including “The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr.,” “Einstein on Race and Racism,” & a Jackie Robinson bio. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/u...

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

Pete Hegseth is not up to the task of keeping Georgia safe. He must resign.

Frengel Reyes Mota was supposed to be dealing with his ongoing asylum case as he fought for his chance to stay in the United States. Suddenly, he instead found himself locked up in a mega prison thousands of miles away.

I am no conspiracy theorist, but it really feels like they are trying to destroy our country from within. Health care, public schools, universities, research, law firms, federal workers, the environment are all getting the axe. What was it again that it made America great?

NEW! The Trump administration appears to have sent a married father with NO CRIMINAL RECORD in any country to rot in a prison in El Salvador because of a PAPERWORK ERROR. This man doesn’t even have tattoos! But his paperwork has two different peoples’ ID numbers listed and the wrong last name!

This is where we are today, voters: Senior trump cabinet members involved in “Signal Chat-gate” can lie to Congress UNDER OATH, with impunity, because they know….. 1) Trump’s got their backs. 2) The DOJ will NEVER prosecute them. Is THIS what you voted for? I know I didn’t.

We're disappearing college students because their opinions are deemed threats to foreign policy as the Trump Administration is literally sharing classified information and military strikes on an unsecured Signal chat with journalists.

@Television news organizations may believe that avoiding a term like Gulf of Mexico is a fairly harmless concession. But … cute linguistic gymnastics amount to a surrender. Words are the front lines of truth, and once they’re ceded, it becomes far easier for strongmen like Trump to shape reality.”

AOC brought the fire: “What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense ... when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt … min wage should cover the min cost to live … homes are not slot machines for Wall Street to extort working families out of every last dollar that they have.”

Senator Schumer has served our nation well, but it's time for a new generation of leadership in the U.S. Senate. He is up for re-election in 2028. REPOST if you would support AOC for the U.S. Senate in 2028!

FYI: "Community Care" = "Privatization"

They’re busy gaslighting us with proganda and lies, because the actual shit they’re doing is really, really bad for America. youtu.be/LFYiXYAwxzk?...

You can either support the United States of America and our democracy, or you can support trump. You cannot do both.

It’s official: Elon Musk’s staffers have now illegally obtained classified information from the USAID office. Here’s a recap of what’s happening:

Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

It is our honor to serve you. America, you broke through— the media is finally picking up on what’s happening. We love you!! 🦬 💚 🇺🇸

Wtf!!!!!!!!

I’m wondering if we are going to get our Social Security next month? Never thought I’d have to say that.

A mirror big enough to expose the hypocrisy, hate, and division being sown by those at the highest levels of our government.

Tonight, Rachel Maddow reported that the muskrat sent his people to access the government payment system. I wonder if we’ll get our Social Security in February?

John Roberts got what he wanted.

As America self-destructs, Xi and Putin smile.

We were NOT being hysterical about Trump. 2025 WAS the game plan. The corporate/billionaire media normalization game IS dangerously out of touch. (I nearly threw up watching Bezos yuck it up)

I just want to say Cocksucking Motherfucker. You all know who I mean.
