The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens.
The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago.
Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

Trump complained that the U.S. doesn't produce its own pharmaceuticals any more and talked about disparities in global prices.
“We’re going to be announcing very shortly a major tariff on pharmaceuticals.”
He said that will bring pharmaceutical production back to the U.S.

The past four Republican administrations have tanked the US economy. But I know multiple Democrats who include their pronouns in the footer of their emails. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

It's insider trading with a bad comb-over.
Step 1: Tank the Market, Scare the Non-Millionaires
Step 2: Let the Aristocrats Feast
Step 3: Flip, but say ‘Winning’
Step 4: Pretend None of This Ever Happened & Get Your Media Dregs To Do The Same

Someone needs to explain to our Sec of Commerce how capitalism works.
America has a GLOBAL TRADE SURPLUS on services. Services have the highest margins and profits of our exports. That is where capital and expertise focused.
It is why we dominate in tech globally.

Just wait. The attacks on judges is only starting. Like Poland, we’ll see retaliation followed by judicial age caps or some other forced retirement attempt so Trump can impose a bench of friendlies. Whatever you imagine will erode, go bigger.
The American Bar Association is rejecting attacks on the court system — after Elon Musk called for the impeachment of judges who rule against Trump:
"We cannot have a judicial system where the government seeks to remove judges simply because they do not rule as the government desires."
