Egg prices hit record highs this week.

Much of the increase is the result of egg shortages brought on by avian flu.

How has Trump responded? By ordering public health agencies to cease communications with the public.

His presidency is a threat to our health and our wallets.

Trump while surveying hurricane recovery in NC today: "I'll also be signing an executive order to begin the process of fundamentally reforming and overhauling FEMA or maybe getting rid of FEMA..I’d rather see the states take care of their own problems.”

He's not just stupid, he's dangerous.

So Target got real comfy thinking us millennial moms won’t take our basic girl bits to Costco & Aldi after they cut DEI programs to satisfy the new administration.

Big mistake. Huge.

This is a slap in the face to American women.

Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations.

Our troops deserve better.

It’s time for my good night message. I am filled with gratitude as I engage with so many people on this platform.

I learn something from each of you every single day. As we think about how we defend our democracy, this quote from Nelson Mandela seems very timely.

The fact that the media is spending time on literally anything other than screaming as loudly as possible that the cybertruck bomber was a huge Trump supporter and that Trump and Republicans have been knowingly lying about the New Orleans terrorist "coming through the border" is the last straw.

Trump was nowhere to be seen today. He lied about the terrorist attack in New Orleans and then stayed silent.

Meanwhile, Biden spoke in great detail about it, ordered federal agencies to help with investigating, and offered up any necessary assistance.

Leadership vs cowardice.

We stopped extreme MAGA Republicans from shutting down the government and crashing the economy.

Far right billionaires have lost.

Today the great divide is not between left and right. It’s between democracy and oligarchy.

Let me explain.
The American oligarchy is back, and it’s out of control
It’s the third time in the nation’s history that a small group of hyper-wealthy people have gained political power over the rest of us. Here’s what we must do.

The 14th Amendment says:

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States"

But Lindsey Graham thinks Trump can rewrite the Constitution by issuing an Executive Order
