Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.

If Biden had won re-election then was forced into a medically induced coma to prolong his life against late stage prostate cancer for the majority of his term, this country would still be in the best shape it's in and only getting better since the beginning of the pandemic

Trump just said the quiet part out loud:
“They happen to be white.”
He has now created a special immigration path just for white South Africans.
At the same time, his agents are raiding homes, dragging out anyone who is Latino, and deporting children.
This isn’t policy. It’s apartheid.

Skip ahead to around :27 in this video — when the poor reporter has to answer her own question because our Treasury secretary has no clue what is going on with these tariffs
Reporter: April 9th, these tariffs come in place. Do you plan on having negotiations before that date?
Bessnet: I-I-again, I'm not part of the negotiations. So you know, w–we'll see.
Reporter: Canada and Mexico, notably missing on that chart. Why is that?
Bessent: Um. I'm not sure.

Now tell me, who’s incompetent?
Here’s the order undoing the order… it’s rapid fire #chaos and #shockandawe at work but also a sign that the Trump administration and its #project2025 leaders are rushing to action without much thinking or a clear understanding of how government works.

Bird flu is forcing farmers to slaughter millions of chickens a month, pushing U.S. egg prices to more than double their cost in the summer of 2023. And it appears there may be no relief in sight, given the surge in demand as Easter approaches.
Egg prices are soaring. Don't expect that to change anytime soon
It looks like grocery shoppers hoping for soaring egg prices to turn around are likely to be waiting a while.
