When a candidate says that government can’t work, it’s probably because they don’t know how to run it. Don’t be surprised when they break things.

Donald Trump doesn’t deserve all of the blame for higher egg prices, but he fired nonpartisan experts working to control the outbreak of avian flu, tied the department’s hands, and made the bird flu crisis worse. Now, families are paying the price with skyrocketing prices for eggs right before Easter.

47 did campaign on the issue of egg prices. He said he would immediately bring down the price of eggs. Could he have possibly lied or does he not have a very good grasp on reality?

Or…..as an alternative theory; Perhaps the “Experts” who killed over 100 million chickens prior to Trump assuming Office so “in theory” they could control Avian Bird Flu may have had some influence over the price of Eggs? I know this sounds crazy, but maybe prices may have been influenced by creating an intentional shortage regardless if those who created the shortage believed it was for a noble cause? Let me get this straight: The Democrat stance is Trump should allow the “Experts” to continue killing chickens by the 10s of millions to create a larger shortage so prices could rise even higher? Why, so you can fault Trump for the results? This is the insanity of Politics in a nutshell. And by the way….your assertions are false. The “Experts” at the Department of Agriculture have continued killing chickens since Trump has assumed Office. So far, 13 million chickens have been killed since February ‘25 (according to their own data). So you either want the “Experts” to continue their work of killing chickens, or you want lower priced eggs, but you can’t have both. It’s time to stop professing child-like viewpoints about reality. At this point in Adulthood we should all understand that less Chickens translates to less eggs, less eggs means less supply, less supply with steady or even higher demands means higher prices for consumers. Higher Prices are a mechanism of markets to control consumer demand when supplies are low. When the supply increases, or higher costs have deterred enough consumers from purchasing Eggs – or as many, the prices will begin to fall. That’s an adult analysis. A child screams at the Sky and asks why the price of Eggs are so high…… then vilifies Trump like he is Emmanuel Goldstein in 1984, and it’s our Daily 2 Minutes of Hate.

Why is it just the eggs priced higher and not the whole chicken?? Just a few years ago wings were higher than the rest of the chicken. Makes no sense.

Say it louder Mike 👏 💪

you hit the nail right on the head

I had a great time at the Kane and DuPage Counties dinners last night, meeting fired-up Democrats ready to take on Trump and Musk’s extremist agenda!

Our Collar County Democrats know how to win: When Trump was first elected, they didn’t back down—they organized, volunteered, ran for office, and won important races, until, little by little, they helped our party taks back the White House.

Now, we can do it all over again: with the April 1st Municipal Elections coming up, we have a chance to fight back against MAGA extremists right here at home and help elect good leaders to our city councils, and park districts, and school boards. We can build on that momentum in 2026, and in 2028, and every year after that until we kick the last of the extremists out of office and make sure our government works for us and not the ultra wealthy.

I was honored to receive the Sandra Otaka Memorial Grand Asian American Award and celebrate the Lunar New Year with my friends at the Asian American Coalition of Chicago!

Judge Sandra Otaka was the first elected Asian American judge in Cook County. Her advocacy for the AAPI Community, and her unwavering commitment to justice, made her a model public servant.

I want to thank the AACC for honoring me with this award, and I wish all who celebrate a very Happy Lunar New Year!
