Your weekly reminder that according to the United States government, a dozen large eggs are averaging $6.23, up from $4.15 in December, 2024, Biden’s last full month in office.

Trump was handed the strongest economy in the industrialized world. By far. Don’t ever forget that.

Let's be clear about what's happening right now: Trump and Musk are dismantling the Social Security Administration from the inside.

It has nothing to do with efficiency — it's about sabotaging Social Security while they rig the government for billionaires like themselves.

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

NEW: No fewer than 10 principle scientists at NIH investigating emerging infectious diseases and neural disorders were among those fired by RFK Jr. today.

One is an esteemed scientist awarded for breakthrough research into the causes of Parkinson's disease.

By me and @emilymullin.bsky.social:

Leading scientists at the National Institutes of Health, the US’s leading medical research agency, were swept up Tuesday in the Trump administration's latest firing blitz.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Republicans are just flat out lying at this point. Biden's tariffs were targeted on certain products to protect specific industries. Trump's new, high tariffs are blanket tariffs and yes, they are already affecting prices at places like Target and Best Buy.
BOLDUAN: Target and Best Buy said last week that prices are going up in direct relation to the tariffs. Is that a good thing for your constituents?
