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.”

🚨 JFC, per pool:

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.

We found the government “waste, fraud, and abuse”.

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.

BREAKING:

China imposes sanctions on 18 American companies.

Spoiler: It is absolutely market manipulation

This isn't The Art of the Deal.
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

Rinse, Enrich, Repeat.

New on @MSNBC: The White House will not release the list of 75 countries that have reached out on trade deals, despite requests from NBC News.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

Transgenic means that genes from 1 organism have been put into another. We make transgenic mice to understand how genes influence biological processes. We make transgenic plants to make them more nutrient rich. We make transgenic bacteria so they make medicine for us. It's wide-ranging & v. useful.

Donald Trump, hard at work honoring America's veterans by cracking down on waste, like for example the **sterilization of medical instruments** at the VA:

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.

War heroes and military firsts are among 26,000 images flagged for removal in Pentagon's DEI purge References to a World War II Medal of Honor recipient, the Enola Gay aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan and women and minorites are among the tens of thousands of photos and online posts ma...

The US military has removed photos of the B-29 bomber “Enola Gay” — which dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan — apparently because it contains the word “gay,” which violates their new anti-DEI rules.

BREAKING: Elon Musk's rocket explosion nearly hit a commercial flight.

This kind of content is being downranked on X. Please share it here. This is so dangerous.

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.

As Abortion Bans Drive Up Maternal, Infant Mortality, Trump Admin. Shutters Key CDC Program The Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS), which has worked to identify groups of pregnant people and infants at higher risk of health complications since 1988, was quietly shut down fol...

As abortion bans increase maternal & infant mortality, Trump admin. shuttered the CDC's PRAMS, a program collecting maternal health data since 1988, for promoting "DEI." This racist action dismisses the realities of medical racism, which systemically & disproportionately harms Black pregnant people.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

What an absolute ghoul.

Musk wants retired air traffic controllers to resume work, but it's not so easy Hiring back retirees could be complicated by a law that sets a mandatory retirement age for controllers.

Elon Musk called for retired air traffic controllers to consider returning to work amid staffing shortages — but a federal law means doing so isn't so simple.

They just fired hundreds of FAA employees.

Senator Rick Scott can give lessons

Trump freed 1,500 criminals on his first day in office.

Now he just helped Andrew Tate, who is charged with rape and human trafficking.

What happened to “law and order”?
