Donald signed a flurry of executive orders into place; some were expected, some were mind-blowing, and others were revealing. None of them will help to lower egg prices, though. All of them will, however, hurt the red states, too, probably more than the blue states. For example, Donald rescinded Handsome Old President Biden's EO to lower prescription drug prices.

A new community center intended to be a hub for southwest Denver is set to bring food stalls, a coffee shop and sweeping mountain views to the Loretto Heights campus by 2026 — with help from a recent $20 million federal grant.
Loretto Heights, a former college campus known for its sandstone clocktower, is under a major redevelopment after Westside Investment Partners purchased the campus for $15.8 million in 2018.
The new community center, which will be operated by a nonprofit group called Commún, will also offer a wide swath of services, including a donation-based grocery store, a child care center and a community market.
“Think of a food hall,” said Margaret Brugger, executive director of the nonprofit.
