Nobody wants to talk about those things… because they don’t exist? The current average price for a dozen eggs is $2.14. For a gallon of milk it’s $4.32. fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU00... fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU00...

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayTom Emmer on Republicans trailing Dems by 8 points in the generic ballot: "Right now there are great things happening in our economy. Nobody wants to talk about 78 cent eggs, nobody wants to talk about milk that's under $2. No no. They want to focus on gas prices."
The news story about Donald Trump being desperate for immunity for tax fraud & the news story about Donald Trump being kicked to the curb by Capital One for widespread money laundering are RELATED.
The same people who falsely claim LGBT people are forcing their sexuality on others by simply living their lives, are the ones who want to ram their religion down the throats of strangers. This is the woman who was kicked off an Alaska Airlines flight for preaching to captive passengers.
The DSA in Wilmingotn, N.C. has created a "crisis" by putting benches at city bus stops, after literal decades of the city promising and failing to do so.
Democratic Socialists’ bus benches remain, city mum on next steps | Port City Daily
WILMINGTON — The handmade bus benches installed by the Wilmington Democratic Socialists of America have highlighted a problem nearly everyone agrees exists: most Wave bus stops have nowhere for riders...

Trump administration denies emergency funding for 2 Oregon wildfires
U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley have sent a letter to the federal agency expressing frustration with the decision.

Herman Cain's last post before he died of ... wait for it ... COVID! The GOP is rewriting history. Covid tore through the world like a killing machine. 1.2 million Americans died. Stop pretending Dr. Fauci did anything other than his best to keep people alive. And release the Epstein Files!
He dumped water we needed in LA to fight the Palisades wildfires into the Central Valley just to fuck us over and it wasted water they needed for the grow season. No one remembers this either. It's insane.
Stephen Judkins@stephenjudkins.bsky.social · 4d agoIt's pretty infuriating that Trump is denying disaster aid to Oregon for political reasons and I have barely heard anything about it, while Biden was falsely accused of doing the exact same thing to North Carolina and millions of people believed that
"I will never understand why these huge corporations refuse to acknowledge objective reality: paying Trump doesn’t buy you anything. All it does is teach him that you’re willing to pay, and next time, he’ll get you to pay more."
ABC Makes Huge Realization About Their Devil's Bargain With Trump
The company’s court filing underscored just how dangerous Trump’s assault of free speech is as the midterms approach.

I’m so naïve I really didn’t think they would let the president sell high-level oval office information to traders for his own enrichment.

Spokane is literally burning down. Really looking forward to the asshole in chief saying we didn't rake our forests and didn't vote for him, and refusing federal help.
Trump stole grant money from Blue states because we didn't vote for him and his people admitted it in court documents. He vetoes disaster relief requests from blue states to punish us. He held back Covid relief to punish us. He's threatening to lock up our election officials. This is unacceptable.
We're on our own for national defense as well, apparently. What is even the point of being a country if it's going to be like this?
Lindsay Beyerstein@beyerstein.bsky.social · 5d agoThis is a crisis of federalism. Tim Walz is asserting as fact that Iran attacked water infrastructure in Minnesota and several other states. And Trump is saying it's Minnesota's own fault they were attacked as part of a war he started.
You know those Albanians taking to the streets to reclaim their heritage from greedy, money-grubbing asshole billionaires? Wish we could do that
My friends ask what New York is like and I say "It looks glamorous but you can't see the smell. It smells like Pizza Rat and trash." Maybe that's going to finally change. If this is what socialism is like, sign me up?
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 5d agoNow this is the kind of trash talk we can get behind. We’re containerizing neighborhoods by taking trash off our sidewalks and allowing mid-size buildings to trade in their wheelie bins for a bigger, better, cleaner alternative: Empire Bins. It’s time to put a lid on it, New York.
Gee, if they lied to us about the reflecting pool, ya think they might be lying about other stuff too?
Warsh does this whole song-and-dance about removing forward guidance so markets can more accurately price the actual state of the economy instead of Fed forecasts. Thing is when they do that you might not like the answer. If this move sustains, they're effectively forcing a September hike. 3/4
On September 13, 1996, I went to Philly with some friends from the phreaker community. Drank my first Long Island iced tea, ate a Philly cheese steak, and was part of the welcoming committee for Bernie S when he was released from prison for possessing tone dialers and 6.5536 mhz crystals.
ICE agents threatened to beat up a Seattle small business owner, married to a citizen, with NO criminal record unless he signed a "voluntary" departure. I'm told there were cameras in the room. I'm demanding any video and that Eduardo be brought home immediately.
Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.gov · last wk.On Thursday, ICE needlessly detained Eduardo Aguirre Esparza, a local Seattle small business owner with no criminal history. This is a man who is married to an American citizen and with deep ties to our local community who was working hard to pursue a legal pathway to lawful permanent residence.
At some point, a critical mass of people have had enough.
Luca Migo@victinibcn.bsky.social · last wk.58 days of relentless resistance. 🦩 Albanians are standing up against land grabs, corruption, and authoritarian overreach to defend their public lands and democratic rights. When the people unite, real change happens. Keep raising your voices, Albania! 🇦🇱
Gonna take the other side of this and remind everyone that nobody is totally immune to scams. I’m sure this one is particularly embarrassing but it’s not one of the reasons Ken should step down.

Coast redwoods top 100 meters, and at that height pulling water up from the roots nearly fails. Their fix: absorb fog straight through their needles. That is why they only grow in California's coastal fog belt. The tallest trees on Earth cheat physics with fog. 🧪 #HowToBuildAGiant #plants
He won't answer the question. Where the hell is the $13 billion we took in from Venezuelan oil proceeds (so far) and why won't Republicans in Congress do their job and conduct just a tiny speck of oversight on this lawless, corrupt regime?
The weirdest thing about the Iran war is the way the oil prices keeps bouncing up and down as if something good happened then something bad happened when in fact only bad things have happened.
