You’re soon going to pay even HIGHER PRICES for eggs 🥚and chicken 🐓🍗— US already has record deaths & culling of chicken this quarter because of H5N1. Now, we are about to suffer even higher prices than before due to bird flu.

Legacy media outlets ignoring the Trump/Melania crypto scams, which at any other time w/any other incoming Admin would be one of the biggest scandals in political history, shows how lost & unprepared they are for what is about to happen. They’re covering this like a reality show.

NEW: Two people from Oregon were arrested inside the Palisades Fire zone for impersonating firefighters. Police say they had a fire truck which was bought in an auction, were wearing CAL-Fire t-shirts, and claimed to be with “Roaring River FD”… which doesn’t exist.

And make no mistake: this is now a joint effort between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump to promote a “harmonious” information environment. You’ve been warned.

Sending a message loud and clear: mass deportations to begin in a blue city, in a blue state.

The Trump administration plans an immigration raid in Chicago, Tuesday morning, just one day after Trump’s inauguration, and will run all week. Between 100 and 200 ICE agents are set to flood the city to carry out the crackdown.

To make sure the message hits home, Trump’s team is already lining up right-wing media outlets to amplify and celebrate the operation.

I have no doubt that America is in a position to continue to succeed.

But I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern – and it will be up to the courts, Congress, the free press, and the American people to confront these powerful forces.

It’s happening in Georgia.

Effective immediately, all poultry events statewide are shut down.

The state’s #1 industry is now staring down the barrel of a nationwide outbreak that shows no mercy.

1. Want some fun news before the Monday inauguration that you won't have heard anywhere else? The antitrust enforcers (Lina Khan et al) went full Tony Montana on big business this week before Trump people took over. Here's just part of what they did.

The billionaires are in charge. People who want to addict our kids to their technology, control what we think and do, destroy small businesses so they own everything.

That's what you will see on Monday.

Republicans finally introduce a bill to bring down the cost of eggs by…

*checks notes*

… repealing a corporate transparency law that prevents corporations from laundering illicit money through shell companies…

Nope. I don’t think that’s going to do it.

Now that Biden is leaving office, I can give a full review of the evidence on the border crisis thanks to some new data. The prevailing narrative is wrong. Biden didn’t cut enforcement. Biden increased it. Biden Didn’t Cause the Border Crisis: The Definitive Case.

[Dave Troy @davetroy]

With Trump’s second inauguration, the transformation from plutocracy to oligarchy is complete. Oligarchs derive their power from proximity to the head of state, and we can observe how essential it is for the oligarchs to seek that proximity.

[NotoriousAirbnb @NotoriousAirbnb]

You mean the company that pitches its units as "Airbnb friendly".

And price-fixes with RealPage.

Real upstanding, those Greystar people.

A modern home in Pacific Palisades survived the fire while all the homes around it burned. It was luck, but also it was built to withstand a wildfire, and it worked.

I spoke with the architect who built the house about designing for disaster:
