New reporting reveals that executives from America’s three biggest egg producers began colluding to keep egg prices high in 2022.
Executives from Cal-Maine Foods, Hickman’s, and Versova spoke of the phone phone and messaged to coordinate bids and trading on eggs.
While these producers blamed avian flu, they were actively and illegally collaborating to keep the price of eggs high.

I'm old enough to remember when the bootlickers for the billionaire class blamed the doubling of egg prices on the avian flu instead of illegal price fixing and corporate greed.
When I was Ethics Czar, we decided Obama wouldn't even refinance his house to save a few hundred dollars -- & lobbyists couldn't gift us a PENCIL!
Trump is monetizing the presidency for BILLIONS
The American people won't stand for it
I discussed with @andersoncooper
It turns out the great egg price increase that helped topple Joe Biden's presidency was <checks notes> due to an alleged conspiracy among egg producers to artificially increase prices and the coverage of that fact is a blink-and-you-miss-it story on the NYT website 🙃
It's so scary to think we have to find somewhere to store the dangerous waste like a desert or underground or something, which is a major problem unlike with fossil fuels where we safely store the waste in the atmosphere and our lungs
A Florida university is threatening to withhold students' diplomas unless they record a 2-minute video apologizing for a silent protest they staged against ICE actions on campus.
Such is life in the "Free State of Florida" ....

The last Democratic President passed the biggest climate bill in history and then leftist organizations and people who were supposed to care about climate change pivoted to Israel and Gaza and helped elect Republicans again. That’s why you don’t hear about it anymore.
A jobs report like this under Joe Biden would have resulted in so many think pieces about the awful state of the economy if you printed them out, they would blot out the sun. The below will disappear from the news cycle by lunchtime.
This lady has the most nondescript face of all time -- a real-life Ann from Arrested Development -- and thinks she needs the Secret Service to escort her from her townhome to her town car to her locked office to her town car to her townhome
There was a multi-year campaign by Republicans, the media and the podcast manosphere to find some sort of corruption, ANYTHING on Hunter (and Joe Biden). Joe Rogan did entire episodes on it. In the end, all they came up with was that he got a job he was under-qualified for.
Meanwhile, Trump is doing the most brazen, unprecedented corruption on a massive scale and it gets reported on by the MSM one time and then everyone moves on. All the people who were obsessed with HUNTER BIDEN CORRUPTION (like Rogan and Glenn Greenwald) won't even mention it.
Unbelievably depressing.
Theodore Roosevelt said the national parks were the greatest gift this country ever gave itself, and the greatest idea we ever gave the world.
More than 100 nations copied it.
Donald Trump looks at that gift and sees a piggy bank for his own pet projects.
This week we learned where our national park money has been going. Not to Yellowstone. Not to Yosemite. To the walkway outside his office, where Trump ripped out American flagstone and laid down Italian granite at a cost of $689,000 to taxpayers. He said he paid for it himself.
That was a lie.
To cover his vanity projects, they are robbing the parks. Spending on parks outside Washington is down $854 million. More than 900 projects went unfunded. They even pulled money from a guardrail on a Colorado cliff that the Park Service flagged as a safety hazard.
I serve on Appropriations.
The power to spend belongs to Congress, not to a king redecorating his palace. These parks are not Trump’s to loot.
They belong to all of us, and I will fight for every dollar.
A well functioning government with zero drama where bills get passed, infrastructure is fixed, and the economy grows doesn't get you a seven figure book deal, which is why Joe Biden had to go.
Wrong, I have no intention to retire. I will spend more time at my restaurant Temple Court at the Beekman hotel. Also Craftsteak at the MGM in Vegas and Small Batch in Garden City.
When you search "giannis" on Google, the whole screen rains down Heat-colored confetti and a little icon pops up saying "Welcome to Miami!"
I wish I was joking. They've actually wanted this man out of Milwaukee more than any other small-market star I can recall.
