It’s been more than a year since the Chicago Sun-Times started tracking the monthly price of 35 common grocery items at Jewel-Osco, Mariano’s, Target and Walmart.
The verdict? What went up mostly didn’t come down.

I’m allergic to this “common sense” framing which reeks of consultants, but like, consultants from 1992 which makes it seem dated and dusty. Also if it were “common” we wouldn’t be in the fucking soup right now, would we Chuck

It's unchartered, but we can see the terrain: the territory ahead includes masked secret police taking people to concentration camps but not new vaccines. That's our reward for a system in which fewer than 20 people, all of them deranged and malicious, control over $3 trillion.
The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering

i’ll end this little brainstorm by just asking what it is, exactly, that the MAGA right likes about the United States, since it explicitly rejects those things that make this nation distinctive — its pluralism, its revolutionary heritage and egalitarian aspirations, and its republican institutions

I genuinely believe that the reason our obvious national security weakness has not been exploited yet is because our adversaries can see we’re destroying ourselves much more effectively from within than they could from without

After the crowd crush at the Houston Astroworld festival, I went on a deep dive about past crowd crushes. All of the articles noted how many people tried to help others, strangers, at great personal risk. I think about this often.

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

Thanks to Susan Collins, Rs now claim to have secured 51 votes in the Senate & will thus move into the phrase of pressuring Senators to nuke the filibuster. If this pressure campaign succeeds, their voter suppression bill, the Save America Act, becomes law. Thread. #NoOnSave
