Anyone hear about this from the media or the Democrats?

Negotiated wholesale prices for graded loose eggs are steady to weak on light to moderate demand for light to moderate offerings. Supplies are moderate and sufficient for trade needs on moderate trading. Wholesale prices for national trading of trucklot quantities of graded, loose, White Large shell eggs gained $0.06 to $3.13 per dozen with a weak undertone. The wholesale price on the New York market for formula trading of Large cartoned shell eggs delivered to retailers held steady at $3.72 per dozen with a steady to weak undertone. In the major Midwest production region, wholesale prices for Large, white, shell eggs delivered to warehouses decreased $0.10 to $3.65 per dozen with a weak undertone while prices paid to producers for Large cartoned shell eggs declined $0.10 to $3.43 per dozen.

Of course, there’s always an exception, and of course, it’s always California, where regulations have driven the price of gasoline to $2 above the national average (and where the last two refineries in the state are being drive out). The Golden State has forbidden the import or sale of non-cage-free eggs, and the prices, paid by celebrities and the poor alike (lots of the latter — California leads the country in them, too) are still high enough to satisfy even Kathy Hochul.

The California benchmark for Large shell eggs declined $0.36 to $5.49 per dozen with a weak undertone. Delivered prices on the California-compliant wholesale loose egg market decreased $0.33 to $4.65 per dozen with a weak undertone.

UPDATE: I missed this one from (two of) our National Idiots:

Whoopi Goldberg Falsely Claims Egg Prices Have Not Fallen ‘One Cent’ Since Trump Took Office

April 9, 2025:

“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg falsely claimed on Wednesday that egg prices have not fallen by “one cent” since President Donald Trump took office, though they have dramatically fallen in recent weeks.

Egg prices have fallen 44% since the start of 2025 after prices had soared to record levels under former President Joe Biden’s administration, according to Trade Economics. Despite the significant fall in egg prices, Goldberg claimed that she has not seen these prices fall in any way, shape or form.

“[Trump] did promise to lower the price of groceries, I have not seen an egg fall one cent since this man got in,” Goldberg said, prompting co-host Sunny Hostin to falsely say they are going up.

Just the facts, Ma’ams:

The average cost of eggs amounted to $6.41 on Jan. 21, Trump’s first full day of his second term, according to Trade Economics. Prices decreased from an average of $8.27 on March 3 to $3.23 as of Wednesday.

Egg prices rose from $1.46 per dozen when Biden first entered office in January 2021 to $4.14 in December 2024, the final full month of his presidency, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Bird flu, one of the other main causes of the egg price hike, killed a record number of 20 million egg-laying hens in the last quarter, which caused a rapid spike in prices.

USDA data shows that 108 million egg-laying hens have died since 2022, including 13 million in 2025. It is not clear how many of the birds died naturally or from culling to prevent the spreading of the virus. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt blamed Biden and his Department of Agriculture for the “mass killing” of 100 million chickens for the rise in egg prices during a Jan. 28 briefing.
