🧑‍🌾 @timmiller.bsky.social on the Trump FARMER BAILOUT: “Tariffs caused a trade war, farmers can’t sell… and now you and I will have to pay them. The stupidest policy I think I’ve ever seen. A land speed record for policy disaster.”

The very tariffs he said would help them are killing them.

Real estate investors now own about 20% of single-family homes in the country.

A big reason why home prices have skyrocketed in recent years is a lack of supply — and investors sinking their teeth into whatever is left on the market is making the problem even worse.

Our household long ago stopped using non-stick pans for everything...except eggs. At least, sadly, *I* still use a non-stick pan for eggs. Despite repeated rounds of practice and coaching, I still can't cook eggs on steel or iron without lots of sticking. Any foolproof tips? 🙏

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"
