For weeks, #Trump has repeatedly boasted that his admin had managed to bring #EggPrices down. But new data on Thurs showed that egg #prices at the #grocery store continued to climb in March.
Egg prices rose 5.9% over the month, acc/to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics [#BLS]. They climbed at a slower rate, though, after rising 10.4% in February & 15.2% in January.
Compared with a year earlier, the price of #eggs is up 60.4%.

Since taking office, #Trump has moved aggressively to revoke the temporary legal status of hundreds of thousands of #immigrants who were allowed into the country under President #Biden.
Now, the admin is taking drastic steps to pressure some of those immigrants & others who had legal status to “self-deport” by effectively canceling the #SocialSecurity numbers they had lawfully obtained….

#Trump admin overrode #SocialSecurity staff to list immigrants as dead
A senior executive who objected was marched out of his office & put on leave, while earlier warnings about the agency’s deaths database were ignored.
Two days after the SSA purposely & falsely labeled 6,100 living immigrants as dead, security guards arrived at the office of a well-regarded senior executive in the agency’s Woodlawn, MD, headquarters.

#trump finally admitted that the #economy isn't doing well.
However in true Republican fashion, he didn't actually take responsibility for anything like an adult.
He blamed it on the past like a child, which I don't think surprised anyone. #maga wouldn't know responsibility if it hit them in the face - the problems in the #usa are never their fault, it's all the libtard Democrats, Biden, or Obama despite him not being in office for a LONG time.
"On Thursday morning, a federal judge ruled that President Donald Trump’s effort to quickly deport Venezuelans under a wartime power only previously exercised three times in the nation’s history — most recently during World War II — was illegal."
