Heinrich, colleagues urge Biden to use executive authority to lower food prices

Americans are facing sky-high food prices, caused by excessive price gouging by food and grocery giants. A small group of players dominate those industries: four grocery retailers account for over a third of national grocery sales and four food companies control more than 60% of sales in most grocery categories. As a result, consumers are spending more of their income on food than they have in the past 30 years.

The only problem Biden has is that people think he’s a bad president
President Joe Biden has suffered a collapse in his standing generally, but, fundamentally, it’s because so few people think he’s doing a good job that he’s in such a perilous state.
Other than that, it’s going great.

Heinirch, colleagues urge Senate Appropriations Committee to address illegal weapons trafficking
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, urged his colleagues on the Senate and House Appropriations Committees to address illicit weapons trafficking operations in the Western Hemisphere on May 13.
“Recently, members of Congress have expressed reasonable concern regarding federal agencies’s efforts to prevent firearms trafficking from the U.S. into Latin America and the Caribbean. For instance, recent reports have shown that 70% of illegal guns recovered in Mexico are sourced from the U.S.,” wrote the lawmakers. “Transnational criminal organizations operating in Mexico then use these weapons to wage their drug war...
