“Some are ditching name brands for store brands, while others are stocking their freezers with whatever is on sale. And more than one shopper said they rely on store-bought rotisserie chicken, that ever-affordable staple, at times like these.”

Groceries Are Expensive. Here’s How 5 Shoppers Are Adjusting.

Two years ago, we collected receipts from people across the U.S. We thought now would be a good time to look at their spending again.

Abdul El Sayed talkin bout being outspent 11:1 but lookin like his supporters got a win regardless. It’s a nice twist on “get the money out of politics” to instead be like “we can defeat the money”

“A new report suggests the money spent on deportations across the United States could be spent on funding over 925,000 schoolteachers or pay for over 5 million veterans' medical care.”

Jon does a great job in this interview. But let’s be clear, while Fetterman wants to declare DSA isn’t part of the Democratic Party, he’s wrong. There’s nothing wrong with them being a caucus in the Party, HE’s the one who doesn’t represent the Democrat Party.

I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250

Yes, please, let’s put this jackwad in office.

The United States Treasury: An ATM for the Rich and Powerful

“Prisciliano Trejo Ricano was only 29 years old. He had lived in Durham, North Carolina, since he was a three-year-old child. Yet, after being detained and transferred into federal custody, he spent his final weeks pleading for medical help that never came.”

Happy Chairteenth, for those who celebrate.

This disgusting 💩 would’ve gotten ANY other president run out of the WH. The fucking draft-dodging nerve. Fucker wouldn’t last 1 day in the military.

Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

Hundreds rally in Fishers, Indiana to support immigrants and oppose a nearby ‘mass deportation’ event.

The older I get the more I understand why cats just walk away mid conversation.

So Tillis and Cornyn thought the 1.8. Billion dollar slush fun was so bad, that they will be willing to confirm the guy who came up with it. Huh

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

“Get a House committee with subpoena power and that memo comes out in a month—maybe less—which is one more reason November matters more than anything else on our calendars this year.”

Twelve Days Before Trump’s Bank Cut Him Off, Somebody Wrote A Memo

Capital One hasn’t released it. The Trumps’ own lawyers described it in a filing nobody read. Plus 25 states in court over the tariffs, and the nurse ICE picked the wrong fight with.

The proposition that the president of the United States is an adjudicated rapist isn't an argument. It is a fact.

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

Two senators on their way out the door. Nothing left to lose. Total leverage. And they traded it for a memo. A piece of paper. Cornyn and Tillis folded like lawn chairs, and everybody knew they would. Again.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (if you know who made this let us know)

"I go and I see a woman standing there in office clothes, but with a Homeland Security vest over the top. And I see six more agents standing in my front yard," Thoreson told NPR. "She said, 'We have a warrant for your arrest, for conspiracy.'"

She protested ICE raids. Then agents showed up at her door

The Justice Department is using federal conspiracy charges to sweep up ICE protesters. Some legal experts worry the agency is casting too wide a net to prosecute political activists.
