In the Pacific Northwest we have Winco. It’s kind of big box but has Aldi like price choices plus bulk foods and great cheap produce plus the international stuff.

1.) Since when is ICE responsible for security at the Super Bowl? 2.) With the NFL trying to internationalize the game (see this weekend), shouldn't the NFL give Noem a fine here for not protecting the shield?

“A list of the 321 canceled grants obtained by Heatmap tells a different story. While much of the funding was awarded to blue state-based companies, the intended projects would have benefitted communities elsewhere, including in Texas, Florida, and Louisiana.”

There's 270,759 "soybean farmers" in the US per Ag Census. Some are not very big. But even including all of those $10B/# of farms = $36,933 per farm.

Great @propublica.org graphic-driven story on Trump cuts to food assistance. The food bank where I get most of my groceries currently was hit hard by this.

ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

NPR giving "Hillbilly Elegy" tons of friendly coverage, only for Vance to sign the de-funding of NPR, was one of the most ironic things I've lived through.

And it’s not a coincidence both came to prominence through the liberal media by offering “necessary correctives” to imagined liberal bubbles.

Trump's USDA is Engaging in Partisan Politics. That is a Threat to us All, and Could/Should Be Illegal.

The USDA website has been a mess all year. Now they've crossed the line.

"Buyers there want our soybeans" is doing a lot of work there. How long is that gonna last? These companies do get to choose who they buy their soybeans from after all. So much for Big Ag's supposed free market commitments.

The National Pork Producers Council continues to be out of touch. That's been the case since the 1990s.

Farmers deserve better than a trade group that wastes its energy on obstruction instead of building a stronger, more resilient future.

Big Pork Lobby’s War on Farmers, Consumers, and Democracy

Inside the National Pork Producers Council's absurd, years-long crusade to kill Prop 12, California’s landmark ballot initiative banning the sale of pork from pigs locked in extreme confinement.

If you're in the market to buy pet insurance I figure you need to have your taxes increased.
