Punning the news: Paying egg-stra at the grocery store

 

Screengrab:  10 News

Headline:  Axios, 1/3/2025

The big picture: 

Donald Trump campaigned on bringing down grocery prices but said in an interview with Time magazine that it may be difficult to do. 

• "Look, they got them up. I'd like to bring them down," Trump said in the interview. "It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard." 

Yes, but: The sluggish federal response to the H5N1 bird flu outbreak could become more disjointed and ineffective in the second Trump administration — if it isn't abandoned altogether, Axios' Tina Reed reports.
