3.3 million fine and about 2.5 million in eggs for a 1.2 billion dollar windfall. I'm sure they won't collude again during the next crisis.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Three egg producers will pay $3.3 million and donate 53 million eggs to food banks and nonprofits to settle a price-fixing lawsuit with the DOJ. None of the producers have to admit any wrongdoing. Is this really justice? Or just the cost of doing business?

Don't really watch racing much anymore, but grew up with it. Loved Kyle Busch and leaves us with a universal quote after his last win. "You take whatever you can get, man," Busch said. "You never know when the last one is going to be, so cherish them all -- trust me."

More than 70 people convicted of fraud have received clemency from Donald Trump. Many have also been granted clemency in the reparations to their victims...over $1BIL. The President leading the war on fraud is also the most prolific pardoner of fraud in modern presidential history. No surprise.

My heads too in the tragedy of our USA politics. Dreamed I was sitting between Presidents Obama and GW Important conference. Told GW I couldn't forgive him but would have him back in the moment. Tried to fist bump Obama but left me hanging. Both confused, as was I, at who I was and why I was there.

Have you ever had an idea that you have no ability to express in words or images? The language or ability isn't there, perhaps? Or perhaps the idea itself cannot be expressed. The closest I've come to express this is a circle or spiral, but it's something more that I can't find.

Sen. Jack Reed: "61 days ago, President Trump unilaterally began the war in Iran. He had no coherent strategy. He refused to make a case to the American people…American families are bearing the cost of a war they wanted nothing to do with and have gained nothing from."

To be clear. America has some TERRIBLE people. They voted for TERRIBLE people to represent them. These TERRIBLE people are making TERRIBLE decisions. They DO NOT like democracy. They DO NOT like freedom. They ARE NOT patriots. They DO NOT want to form a more perfect union. This is America 2026.

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

McGowan: Can just let me speak for like one fricken second, bro? Rothman: Sorry.

About five years ago I had a dilemna. You may already see where this is going. Red squiggly lines appeared beneath dilemna and I was puzzled. Di-lem-nuh, I said in my head. Right-clicked. Dilemma was the only suggestion. Odd. Looked it up. This can't be real. Dilemma is the only entry? What?

Haven't written much in quite a long time. Dusted off some jottings I've kept over the past 25 years, read some poems I put online, and some longer form writing and I think now, this isn't so bad. Only took 25 years of getting dumber to give myself a break.

Just put on some Wrens and was going to yell to the clouds, or @carcolors.bsky.social, to get back together and tour just one more time so I can pretend like everything's in front of me while old men sing about how it's all battered and broken in front of me one more time

GutterPutter@gutterputter.bsky.social

Yes, there is an actual leak of the demos from the now-defunct New Jersey band the Wrens that are made for their fourth album a decade ago. How it would have shaped indie music then will be one big question mark.

Are you one of those people who when they see a post about a Democratic win, comment with: "Yeah, but we still have some massive problems..." Please go away. I'm aware that we still have problems, and if you choose to focus primarily on them without any solution, you are a waste of precious time.

The Republican Party wants to give away 250 years of American democracy for a pathological lying, child raping, mass murdering, insurrectionist scumbag named Donald Trump.

“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.” That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people. He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will — and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.

Jayapal to Noem: "I want to introduce you to just four of the US citizens unlawfully detained by ICE ... they're in this room with us."
