Lower and middle class consumers spend a far higher percentage of disposable income buying basic items. This isn't hard to understand, but our USTR doesn't seem to.

For years we've been told that grand juries in the US are just a rubber stamp for prosecutors (i.e. that they will indict even pork-based comestibles). But increasingly what we're seeing is that grand juries are the last line of defense against an administration that is hellbent on perverting the justice system. From the NYT:

"Federal prosecutors in Washington sought and failed on Tuesday to secure an indictment against six Democratic lawmakers who posted a video this fall that enraged President Trump by reminding active-duty members of the military and intelligence community that they were obligated to refuse illegal orders, four people familiar with the matter said."

"It was remarkable that the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington — led by Jeanine Pirro, a longtime ally of Mr. Trump’s — authorized prosecutors to go into a grand jury and ask for an indictment of the six members of Congress, all of whom had served in the military or the nation’s spy agencies."

"But it was even more remarkable that a group of ordinary citizens sitting on the grand jury in Federal District Court in Washington forcefully rejected Mr. Trump’s bid to label their expression of dissent as a criminal act warranting prosecution."

    "In the final hours of President Trump’s first term, a violent felon used his family’s ties to Mr. Trump’s son-in-law to receive the deal of a lifetime."

    "Mr. Trump commuted the man’s 10-year prison sentence. All he had to do to ensure he remained free was stay out of trouble."

    "But according to prosecutors, the man, Jonathan Braun, later sexually assaulted a nanny, swung an IV pole at a nurse, threatened a congregant at his synagogue and made usurious loans to struggling small businesses."

    Why the FUCK do you get to judge what a person eats, and designate arbitrary levels of class value to food, Amy? Fishing is probably the second-oldest profession, ass.

    I can tell ya, 8 years of helping humans who access SNAP, I don't recall selling one friggin' lobster tail.

    We are poor. We know how to shop.

    Journalism tip: If someone says drop the story, that’s a sign to keep reporting.

    Article excerpt: When ProPublica emailed questions to Newby’s daughter, the North Carolina Republican Party’s communications director, Matt Mercer, responded, writing that ProPublica was waging a “jihad” against “NC Republicans,” which would “not be met with dignifying any comments whatsoever.” “I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration and I’m sure they would be interested in this matter,” Mercer said in his email. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.”

    Do you also check old shoes you haven't worn in more than a week for spiders?

    "ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien."

    Every person involved in this decision needs to be hit over the head with a copy of Kashmir Hill's "Your Face Belongs to Us" until they come to their senses.

    Do not question the app.
    The app is all things.
    The app defines us.
    The app is our salvation.
    All praise the perfection of the app.
    Nothing comes from within, the app will fill you and complete you.
    Trust the app.
    The app is your faith.

    Yeah, no. Phones and tech aren't drugs at all. Nope.

    It’s been less than a year under Hegseth and he’s lost four craft!!

    Tweet by VoteVets reading, “So, by our count, since Trump fired the Chief of Naval Operations because she was a woman, the Navy has lost 4 aircraft at sea?” Below is an image of a U.S. aircraft carrier with a caption about two aircraft lost from the USS Nimitz.

    I remember a school friend painting a box silver and he put a face on it, and sat inside with old encyclopedias in his parents' garage and made us ask questions we didn't know how to ask that he had to fumble to answer in the 5 books he had with him. It wasn't very fun.

    This all feels exactly the same. Except my neighborhood wasn't gonna be bulldozed to build a bigger box.

    People will say things like "it's selfish to not want to have kids!" and then immediately follow it up with "Who is going to take care of you when you get old?" as if they don’t know what the word selfish means.

    In this current America, ask them if you can contract their kids as golden-years caretakers at a low monthly premium subscription rate.
    If they voted for Donald Christ, their kids' futures are for-sale, too.

    The world runs on three operating systems: markets, politics, and status. Everyone claims to hate the one they’re currently losing at.

    They're all stuck at the age of 12, these dipass white boys.
    The shirtless BMX backwards-cap endless summer look is a friggin' uniform for these nazi dorks.
