Trump's Secretary of Agriculture says Americans can afford this delicious $3 meal.
Prices are going up, and the Administration’s suggestion is for Americans to eat “a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing.” Yum!

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.
I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

"The Justice Department’s decision to send FBI agents to raid a Washington Post reporter’s home Wednesday was an aggressive attack on the press freedom of all journalists. Yet anyone who believes the raid will deter reporters from doing their jobs is sorely mistaken."

DOJ has occasionally claimed that it needs to search reporters' records to find the source of a security leak.
But that's pretty obviously not what they were doing when they searched the Post reporter's house. They arrested a suspect days ago, after more or less catching him in the act.
