As someone who hasn't eaten eggs in over a decade, it's been quite surreal to watch people freak out over high egg prices to the point of voting for a fascist just to make them cheaper.

Maybe I should have spent last year spreading info about all the easy options for egg replacements.

*sigh*

I desperately needed this.

It's long, but you can watch it in chunks like I did, or listen while you're doing other things.

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

in addition to musk stealing the data for his own purposes, I imagine that they think they can simply shut off payments to whoever doesn’t comply. I would not be shocked if they tried to turn off Social Security for an entire state of course that’s dissolution of the union territory.
NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

I read an interview with Vought a while back - can't remember where. He comes across as a sociopath.

Link contains an easy form to help you connect with your senators.
This is exactly what we want to see from Senate Democrats. Russell Vought is the mastermind of Trump’s sweeping (and illegal) spending freeze, and his nomination should be withdrawn. Democrats are starting to fight back, and we need to encourage them to keep going: indivisible.org/resource/cal...
