Shop at any of these grocery stores?

Kroger
Fred Meyer
Ralphs
Food for Less
Mariano’s
Smith’s
Harris Teeter

Seems like a lot of competition—except that every one is owned by Kroger.

Now Kroger is trying to buy another: Giant Eagle.

And when competition dies, you pay more.

Pritzker: So here’s the truth, plain and simple: Our state is under siege. Not by protesters, not by immigrants, not by the deep state, not by the press, not by Canada or Mexico or Greenland, not by Antifa or by Jewish space lasers or pride parades.

No. Our state is under siege by a petty, corrupt man in Washington. A man who ran for president because he wanted to live in a palace and get rich or get richer.

Our state is under siege by the skilled sycophants who surround that president and use his base desires as cover for their own destructive agendas.

Our state is under siege by the many, many Republicans who are either too infatuated or too frightened to fight Donald Trump for the people they serve.

And I mean Republicans like Darren Bailey. You can be a lot of things and still be an effective governor, but one thing you cannot be is a coward.

TikTok censored this post warning #California of the COVlD wave.

It is a weekly time-sensitive public health update. They took 5 days to review it, say they have approved it, and it still does not show. It is now outdated, as levels have increased.

No, the Presidential Records Act is not unconstitutional.

Yes, it's crazy that the Trump administration is trying to claim otherwise.

Why are they so afraid of keeping records? We're suing to defend the law and the public's access to information.

Trump said he was "draining the swamp" and fired 3,000 people at CDC... 3,500 at FDA... and 11,000 food safety officials.

Now: 160+ food recalls... 24,000 sick... 740 hospitalized... and several dead.

The corruption is killing us. Literally.

MAGA is basically a racketeering operation with ongoing criminal activity permeating the entire framework and fabric of American govt and society.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

When a handful of companies control the economy, a handful of CEOs dictate what you watch on TV, which doctor you’re allowed to see, what you eat, whether predators get online access to your kids, and what apartment you can rent.

That's exactly why we need to block mega-mergers.

With the next PMC update, we will report COVlD levels side-by-side using the old and new CDC categories so it is crystal clear how the CDC is downplaying COVlD levels as many places experience waves.

“Get a job and exercise” isn’t a healthcare plan.

It’s what you say when you’re entitled and rich enough to never think seriously about health insurance and what it would mean to lose it.

Ossoff: Now, I know many of you are here today because you just can’t stand what’s been done to our country.

Our government made a tool of one man’s vengeance, power, and wealth. Prices soar while the president rakes in billions. Cancer patients lose insurance while the rich get another tax cut.

We’re plunged deeper and deeper into another reckless war. Private prisons full of families grow in size and squalor. The Justice Department and even our intelligence agencies are twisted to serve this president’s vendettas.

But in eight weeks, Atlanta, in eight weeks, we can cast our ballots and say, “Enough is enough.”

In eight weeks, we will vote to rebuke him so decisively that no president will dare such abuses again for centuries.
