Egg prices are up 53% compared to last year and the spread of bird flu is a major reason why.
How has Trump responded?
By letting DOGE fire thousands of federal employees across the CDC, NIH, FDA, and the USDA who could respond to this outbreak.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

Abolish bank regulators. “Delete” the CFPB & IRS. Gut Social Security and Medicare.
The Trump administration’s plots all boil down to the same thing: swindle working people, funnel money to the ultra-rich.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They are vital members of our community. They make our government actually work for people. Remember this.
A fired national park ranger lost his dream job. He says the public is losing more
Brian Gibbs was an environmental educator at Effigy Mounds National Monument in Iowa. His job was among those nixed by the Trump administration as it pushes to shrink federal spending.

I'm in the Netherlands this week to foster business ties with companies looking to expand in Minnesota.
I've made similar trips as Governor, representing Minnesota around the world, but this time is different.

DOGE is attacking federal agencies that protect millions of Americans from financial predators, infectious diseases, natural disasters, and air crashes.
Once again: this has nothing to do with making the government "efficient" — and everything to do with who it works for.

The REAL Waste That Elon's DOGE Should Cut
DOGE is a trojan horse for Elon Musk to gut labor, consumer, and environmental protections. If he actually wanted to cut waste, he'd look at the massive tax loopholes, government contracts, and subsidies that benefit the wealthy and large corporations.

DOGE having access to Americans' Social Security data isn't just a major security breach.
It's part of a deliberate ploy to cut benefits — using the false pretext of "waste and fraud" — and have Congress use the savings to give billionaires another giant tax cut.
Be warned.

Mr. Patel has been directly involved in secretly orchestrating a purge of career officials at the FBI. Emil Bove, then acting No. 2 at the Justice Department, fired career civil servants solely at the request of a private citizen.
