1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.

Terribleness is all he has. And unfortunately, there’s a market for it.
Absolutely vile.
We've had presidents before who were terrible people, but never one who was so shamelessly, publicly terrible. This behavior should not be excused, much less celebrated.

Grocery costs continue to increase. Healthcare costs are skyrocketing.
What is Trump focused on right now? Starting another forever war in Venezuela.
We need congressional oversight.

I'm going to ask my doctor about this at my next physical. There are so many idiots out there now who aren't vaccinating themselves or their kids that I want to make sure my immunity levels are still good.
In all seriousness as part of getting my green card I needed to do a blood test to check antibody levels for things like measles, mumps, and rubella. I had a childhood vaccination and still was too low in antibodies and required the MMR in order to get my green card. Im grateful I did.

Watching an 80s episode of Classic Concentration. A prize was Filet Mignon for a Year. It's interesting how filet mignon was considered so fancy back in the 80s & 90s, and now you don't hear much about it anymore.

Holy cow. Windows 11 “update and shutdown” actually worked right. The first time in many many months. Usually it updates and restarts, even though you selected shutdown.

Soooo…I actually support Marco Rubio’s edict to change back to Times New Roman. I *hate* Calibri. Times New Roman looks good and is easy to read. I hate sans serif fonts. You can’t tell the difference between a capital I and a lower-case l. Worthless.

A lot of Cook County property owners are upset with massive increases in their assessments and tax bills. Remember, the assessor position is elected. You can vote the guy out. He should be working with other elected officials on a solution so people’s tax bills aren’t doubling.

'“We’ve just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela, a large tanker, very large, largest one ever seized, actually,” Trump told reporters at the White House.' God damn, everything is a dick-measuring contest with this weirdo.

The rich people who cheat on their taxes would call someone a fool for leaving money on the table. Yet that is exactly what our government is doing. This is money for the taking. It’s legally owed to the US govt, but they’ve cut back on collecting it.
Federal tax prosecutions have fallen to their lowest level in decades — dropping 27% the past year.
This comes after Trump made deep cuts to the IRS.
DOJ agents were reportedly also told not to prioritize tax prosecutions.
Tax cheats must be thrilled.

something you have to understand about Trump & his weird comments about the economy is that the dude hasn't paid for anything like a normal person in decades - never pumps gas, never buys groceries - so he's completely & utterly out of touch with what life is like for most of us

The article says this term originated as slang in the 90s. I've never heard anyone call this body part a "wenis."
cannot believe the title of this wikipedia article is actually wenis

“Everything” is not coming down in price. It’s almost all going up. The Golden Age isn't “right around the corner” any more than a healthcare plan is. Stop gaslighting the American people.
