Remember when egg prices were $6 a dozen? It might not have been for the reasons you thought. In a new story from me and @SteveVolk for @POLITICOMag, we recount the alleged egg price-fixing conspiracy, the settlement with DOJ and what it means for our politics.

This must be the most radical thing that’s ever happened in Port Huron
Joey Cappelletti@Cappelletti7Oct 6
A full auditorium for Abdul El-Sayed in the Republican-leaning Port Huron, with a predominately older crowd. Margie Collins, 77, and Pat Kreiner, 72, waited over an hour outside to get into the event, and told me their children first got them to support El-Sayed.
