The price of ground beef is up 20 percent this year.
But it's not just inflation making your 4th of July barbecue more expensive. Just four giants control 80% of the meat processing market.
Minimal competition means maximum price gouging.

Cool move: Trump’s sons team up with banned foreign partners, sneak in fine print exempting the family from taxes, & Treasury just shrugs when asked. Scot-free has a new ring to it now. Corrupt Republicans keep protecting their guy. #TrumpRepublicanCorruption
Pete Hegseth is out of his damn league.

Shapiro: When you have a president of the United States who is focused on making money for himself, that corruption leaves us all worse off because it means he’s picking favorites not based on what benefits the American people, but on what benefits him and his children.
"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944
For all those complaining about the upcoming wedding of Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce, remember they are hardworking individuals. They have the freedom to plan their wedding as they see fit. Importantly, they have donated $26 million to New York charities this week. Here’s a list of those charities:
Two people have climbed to the top of the Empire State Building antenna. They are holding a banner that reads: “When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace”
Trump's financial disclosures just came in. We’re talking big money and big looting.
But he doesn’t have any conflicts of interest, really. That’s because he has only one interest: lining his own pockets.
Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-most-troubling-thing-about-trump
James Talarico is fantastic— the best candidate to appear in Texas in decades.
What a shame that Texans are so inexcusably ignorant, self-destructive, and hateful that they’ll elect Ken Paxton to the Senate.
AOC has changed the trajectory of American politics and inspired a generation to believe that government really can work for working people. I am deeply honored to earn her endorsement for US Senate. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/02/u...
My resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision now has 88 co-sponsors! (You can view the full list at: congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-joint-resolution/122)
I won’t stop fighting to get it across the finish line.
Didn’t see this coming.
Another Senate race to watch closely.
Lindsey Graham spent years acting like South Carolina belonged to him. The voters might have other plans.
Dr. Annie Andrews is at 45%, and among informed voters, she leads Graham 46% to 43%.
NEW: This is too much. The DOJ accidentally emailed copies of Volume II of Jack Smith's final report to the lawyers representing a woman they charged with obstruction of justice for emailing Volume II of Jack Smith's final report. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/doj-accide...
CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 26%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
The Reflecting Pool arrests by Park Police should terrify everyone. The federal government is fabricating accusations out f thin air simply tO protect one man from his own embarrassing failure. There is no sabotage. This is insane.
