A Woman Just Found Her Mom's Cheap Walmart Grocery Receipt From 2006—And We're Furiously Sobbing
May 26, 2026
Feel like bursting into tears and then hurling your phone at the wall? Well then you've clicked on the right story!
A woman on X (formerly Twitter) has the entire internet sobbing after sharing an old Walmart receipt of her mom's grocery run from 2006.
If you've gone grocery shopping at all in the last four years you know that not even Walmart will save you from the ravages of inflation anymore.
And like most retailers in recent years, Walmart has been caught price gouging customers too.
But to see how much a full grocery haul would have run you 20 years ago is truly the stuff of nightmares.
Along with the image, X user @ruledbymercuryy wrote:
"found my mom’s grocery receipt from 2006, and I just fell to my knees omg…🧎🏾♀️"
The receipt is a lonnnnnnng one with 79 items, so you know this was a major grocery order with a hefty price tag to match. So what did it run her mom?
Sit down, take a breath and brace yourself: a staggering $161.87.
If that has you ready to find Mr. Walmart yourself and drag him out of his office for a talking to, you're not alone. People in the replies promptly freaked out, especially when they noticed that the X user's mom didn't even use any coupons! This was just the straight-up prices!
And! Her mom wasn't scrimping on what she bought either. Several people noticed some fairly big-ticket items on the receipt, like seafood and steaks.
One X user remarked that the receipt felt more like "evidence from a lost civilization," and it's not hard to see why. When is the last time you got out the door of a grocery store for a full-family grocery order for less than $300? And that's in the CHEAP parts of the country!
A grocery run of $161.87 today would probably last a single person a week at most.
A handful of people used AI to figure out what this same grocery order would cost at the currently posted prices at most Walmart stores in America. And, well... it was nearly $400 on average.
Several other things jumped out at people, like a gallon of milk for around $3, a dozen eggs for less than $2, and two different boxes of name-brand cereal all under $2. That's downright laughable at today's prices.
The woman's Walmart receipt definitely had the internet lamenting how much things have changed since 2006 when it comes to grocery prices.
And many people were downright angry—as they should be.
Anyway, big thanks to all the people who voted for a dictatorship in order to get cheaper groceries. Are we great yet?

Anti-Trump Stickers Keep Getting Spotted On Gas Pumps—And They're Absolutely Brutal
May 26, 2026
MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's decision to join Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in attacking the country of Iran directly caused gas prices in the United States to soar and even Trump's MAGA minions aren't happy about it.
Many who are turning their back on Trump have cited the POTUS's negative impact on their cost of living and the influence Netanyahu, himself under investigation by his own country for corruption, has over the Trump administration.
In addition to cussing Trump out at a gas station during a viral news interview, people have started decorating the pumps with anti-Trump stickers. Photos of several of the stickers people saw at their local gas stations have gone viral across social media platforms.
You can see one of the viral gas pump decals here:

Posted to the subReddit pics, this sticker features a photo of Trump with the message:
"IRAN UP YOUR GAS PRICES"
"BECAUSE I'M ON THE LIST"
Sold by The Defiant Dog (thedefiantdog.com), the stickers come in a pack of 20 for $7.99 with ten reasons why Trump ran up gas prices, because he's:
- the worst president ever
- a moron
- in the files
- a lying piece of sh*t
- a dumb f*ck
- [doesn't] know what [he's] doing
- on the list
- a pedophile
- [he] raped children
- [Jeffrey] Epstein was [his] best friend
You can see a censored screenshot of the stickers from The Defiant Dog website here:
People also shared other examples, like this one that doesn't include a photo of the POTUS, just the message:
"PRICE INCLUDES EPSTEIN FILES DISTRACTION SURCHARGE"
While each sticker is slightly different, they're all a variation on a theme: Trump's unpopular decision to attack Iran is costing Americans a price they don't want to pay.

Some pointed out it's an important message to convey during the upcoming midterm elections.
Hey Democrats,Prices for goods are up because Trump enacted tariffs.Gas, food and everything else are more expensive because Trump started an illegal war with Iran.Republicans in Congress could have stopped the tariffs and the war at any time but refused.That is your entire campaign.

We don’t need a ballroom or a DC arch. People need healthcare. They need to afford groceries, keep the lights on, and put gas in their car. Meanwhile, we’re spending a billion dollars a day on a war with Iran. Republicans do not care about you or your family.

Especially for those fence sitters who are still buying the Trump administration's "blame Biden" narrative.


There was no reason for this war to begin with… All of it senseless… all the suffering, pain, death, and the prices of gas and goods shooting up all over the world. Just some greedy, selfish, wealth hoarders playing with people’s lives.

For some, it all comes back to Trump's attempts to hide and downplay his decades-long close ties to registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Some states are seeing prices over $6.00 per gallon for fuel, according to Forbes. Meanwhile, Trump, his family, and a number of his cronies have been exposed for profiting off of his Iran War.
When questioned about their profiteering, Trump declared he was unconcerned.

Former MAGA Fan Goes Viral With Video Explaining What Finally Made Him Dismantle His Conservative Beliefs
May 26, 2026
Influencer Jude Cloud revealed in a video message how he ended up discarding the MAGA conservative beliefs he grew up around, describing his evolution from holding “fiscally conservative, socially liberal” ideals to being a "terribly woke" queer leftist.
Cloud, who boasts nearly 58,000 followers on Instagram, said he actually used to go "door-to-door" stumping for "one of [President Donald] Trump's closest friends in Congress, adding that he "used to say, 'I think, therefore I am conservative.'"
He added that he "used to think that government having its hands in anything was the worst thing that could ever happen to people," though his opinions shifted when he met the woman who would become the mother of his child.
He said:
"I remember I was so excited to talk to her about politics, 'cause I was like, 'Oh, she's gonna hear everything I have to say, and she's gonna think I'm so smart, she's gonna be so impressed by, like, my knowledge and philosophy, whatever.'"
"And I remember I started talking to her about politics and she was like, 'Holy sh*t, you sound so dumb. You sound like a terrible person, like a bad person, like the things you're saying are the things that a bad and evil person would say.'"
"I was like, 'Oh, huh, interesting,' and I stepped back, and I thought about why I believed the things that I did, and tried to think, 'Yeah, would a kind person believe these things?'"
"Take all my personal, take how much money I want to make someday, take how hard I think I work, take all of that away, just think about kindness and being a good person. And I realized, yeah, the beliefs that I was aligning myself with, the beliefs that I was supporting were terrible."
"The reason I'm sharing this story isn't to inherently sh*t on conservatives and the right. I'll always sh*t on MAGA, but to say it's okay to change. It's okay to grow up and it's okay to hold yourself accountable for being wrong. It's okay to say, 'I saw that in the correct way, I'm sorry, and I'll do better, and I'll commit to grow, I'll commit to keep growing and to keep getting better."
Cloud noted that he was "a libertarian and a Republican in 2020 and now I'm so far from that," adding:
"I just hope this reaches people who currently think it's manly and strong and impressive, who think it's macho and manly to be a conservative and to actively support the oppression of more than half of our country."
"You can change. You can get better. It's strong and cool and macho to give a sh*t about other people."
You can hear what he said in the video below.
Cloud's remarks resonated with many.









Chances are many of you have some conservatives in your lives who need to hear this.

Trump's AG Sets Off A Firestorm With Claim That Americans 'Want Their Tax Dollars Spent On' Trump's $1.8 Billion Slush Fund
May 26, 2026
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is facing heavy criticism after claiming that Americans "want their tax dollars spent on things like" President Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund that may go to his allies and those who participated in the January 6 insurrection.
The Justice Department said last week it was creating the fund as part of a deal in which Trump agreed to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS. But despite a press release, memo, and a newly-released settlement agreement, many details about the program remain unclear.
The agreement states that within 30 days, the so-called “Anti-Weaponization Fund” will establish its own funding structure, rules, conditions, and claim requirements. The DOJ has so far provided few specifics about who qualifies, how applications will be reviewed, or how officials arrived at the fund’s $1.776 billion price tag, besides it being a reference to the nation's 1776 founding.
The department suggested the money is intended for people allegedly targeted because of their political beliefs, and the fund is widely expected to include January 6 insurrectionists among potential recipients. Blanche previously told lawmakers that “anybody could apply,” with decisions left to a panel of commissioners that he will help appoint.
The agreement also says time spent in prison or federal custody because of alleged “lawfare and weaponization” from “any source” could factor into compensation decisions.
When asked for a response to Americans who are "upset" by the news of this fund's existence, Blanche offered the following absurd defense:
"If you're just upset, you're not getting a dime. On the other hand, I think if you said to the American taxpayer that there is a horrible wrong committed by your government and now you can apply and you can have your lawyers' fees back, you can be compensated financially, what American would say, 'Oh my gosh, that's terrible'?"
"I very much disagree with the idea that the American taxpayer is indignant about the fact that a victim of weaponization, a victim who suffered, whether it was legal fees, [they] lost a job, had their life turned upside down in a way that was not appropriate. If it was appropriate, there would be no compensation."
“I do not think the American people have issues with that. To the contrary, I think they do want their tax dollars spent on things like that.”
You can hear what Blanche said in the video below.
Blanche also dismissed concerns that insurrectionists convicted for their part in the 2021 Capitol riot would take advantage of the fund.
The attack left at least five people dead and resulted in over 100 injuries to law enforcement as well as millions of dollars in damages after insurrectionists stormed the Capitol building in an attempt to stop the certification of then-President-elect Joe Biden's decisive electoral victory.
Upon taking office last year, Trump granted clemency to all 1,500+ individuals charged in the insurrection, upending what had been the largest prosecution in Justice Department history, freeing individuals captured on camera brutally assaulting police officers as well as leaders of far-right extremist groups convicted of plotting violent efforts to halt the peaceful transfer of power.
Despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, the administration and its surrogates have attempted to paint the attack as a peaceful gathering of law-abiding citizens—and Blanche brushed aside suggestions that people convicted of assaulting law enforcement officers should automatically be barred from receiving money from the fund.
He said:
“To be clear, people that hurt police get money all the time. It’s abhorrent to ever, ever touch a law enforcement officer, which is why anytime anybody does that and it’s a federal officer, we’ll prosecute them. But that’s a completely different question, with whether an individual is allowed to apply for a claim.”
Nonetheless, former Capitol Police Harry Dunn and Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges— both of whom helped defend the U.S. Capitol during the attack—have already filed a lawsuit in Washington seeking to block the creation and funding of the program.
The possibility that those who attacked the nation's seat of government could be compensated using Americans' tax dollars is in fact very unpopular, and Blanche was swiftly called out for suggesting it isn't a point of contention.
Blanche's defense of the fund has been scorned by Democrats and has thus far not swayed Republicans.
His trip to Capitol Hill on Thursday—the day after his CNN interview—proved fruitless, with senators reportedly emerging from the meeting frustrated and largely unwilling to speak publicly.
Lawmakers later scrapped plans for a vote and instead began their Memorial Day recess early, a move that could make it even harder for Republicans to pass party-line legislation in the weeks ahead, particularly as Trump continues to clash with incumbent senators and with the midterms on the horizon.
One idea Republicans reportedly floated to narrow the settlement fund would have prevented January 6 defendants convicted of assaulting police officers from collecting payouts. Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters he was "not a big fan" and did not see "a purpose" for the fund.

Khloé Kardashian Under Fire After Admitting She Had Her Two Cats Declawed After Being 'Misadvised'
May 22, 2026
Getting a new pet is a big commitment, and when you decide to take the plunge, you should commit to keeping them for their full lifetime.
But if you're going to get an animal that you have no prior experience with, you also have to commit to doing your research so you can care for them properly. While getting advice from a fellow pet owner is helpful, it's always good to double-check their facts.
That's exactly where Khloé Kardashian went wrong when she decided to adopt her pair of cats, Baby Kitty and Grey.
On her Khloé in Wonder Land podcast during her "Inside My Brain" episode, Kardashian opened up about her first experience with having cats in her home, and she admitted she'd made a big mistake.
Kardashian reflected:
"I was really misadvised about getting my cats declawed."
"I've never owned cats before. I didn't even know that was a thing."
For those who do not know, cats can have their claws surgically removed. This was a really common procedure in the early 2000s, because it prevented cats from damaging property or accidentally scratching their owners and other pets. Typically, the nails would only be removed from the front feet, though removing them from the back feet is possible.
In recent years, however, declawing has been massively criticized, as removing a cat's nail is the equivalent of removing part of a human's finger, specifically from the tip of the finger to past the first knuckle.
Not only is this painful for a cat, but it also takes away from them their ability to naturally defend themselves, climb, and hunt. Recent research has also found that declawing can affect a cat's long-term ability to balance, walk, run, and play, negatively impacting their sociability and increasing their chances of developing arthritis at a younger than average age.
Kardashion admitted to being concerned about her cats' decreased quality of life after the procedure:
"I feel really, really terrible that I did go in this direction."
"I feel like that's why my cats are miserable, and it was at my doing."
"My cats wear AirTags, like, they're not allowed to even go near a door, because I'm so afraid if they get out, they'll have no way to defend themselves. They've lost their protection tools, so it makes me so sad."
You can watch that part of the podcast episode here:
- YouTubeyoutu.be
The podcast episode was shared on the "LA Influencer Snark" subReddit, where Redditors were critical of Kardashian's lack of research and preparation for having cats, not to mention her misuse of resources that other pet owners do not have.
"So sad and unnecessary. She has the resources to have someone groom and clip the cat’s nails weekly." - Intelligent_Mall222
"And she can easily afford to replace furniture or get it fixed. I would be less judgmental of a less wealthy person doing this to their cat because they can’t just buy new things on a whim." - PM_ME_YOUR_TATERTOTS
"There are even nail caps I’ve seen people use to protect furniture or scratching other pets and people if that’s what she is concerned about… so many things she could have done that are better than this…" - peanutbutterybaybay
"It’s just disgusting... It’s equivalent to cutting a human’s fingers off their hand. She has all the money in the WORLD to keep her cat maintained, yet chooses the cruel option. I truly don’t know why society chooses to keep these id**ts rich." - Conscious-Owl7277
"It’s pure laziness; she thinks her material possessions are worth mutating a poor cat. Calabasas, Malibu, and Agoura Hills (basically the wealthy neighborhoods they live in) are small towns, and we have AMAZING vets and great animal groomers and caregivers."
"I can find someone who can come to her house and trim the kitties' nails in about five minutes. But no, it’s her pure entitlement and disregard for others that made her jump to this disgusting conclusion." - darkcherrykiss
"There are even fabrics that are resistant to cat scratching! We have crappy Ashley furniture couches, and our cat has been scratching them daily since she was a kitten, so three and a half years of scratching, but there’s barely any damage (these couches should be destroyed)."
"I thought it was some kind of sorcery until I looked it up, and apparently there are fabrics that are scratch resistant! There’s also fabrics that don’t feel good on their paws, which will deter scratching."
"There’s zero excuse for declawing, period. You can find a solution that doesn’t involve mutilating your pet." - panicnarwhal
"Ironically, she wears four-inch FAKE nails, yet has the claws ripped from her cats. Sorry if I’m being dramatic, but this is disgusting." - karishexplains
"Declawing a cat is seriously evil. I rescued a declawed cat, and the poor girl had terrible arthritis in her paws."
"At the very least, Khloe could have tried claw caps. THEY MAKE SPARKLY ONES THAT COULD MATCH HER OWN STUPID NAILS, FOR F**K'S SAKE."
"It's even worse that she talks about this publicly, and that will normalize it for some people." - No_Nefariousness3866
"I find it so gross that these people keep their pets as accessories instead of as companions and family members."
"Our beloved dog died on my husband's lap early Monday morning. He didn’t make a sound. He just stopped breathing with his dad’s hand on his chest."
"We cremated him at 4:30 today. My husband just says, ‘He was just no longer with us’ many times a day. It’s the first time I’ve seen him weep in 17 years. He hasn’t stopped."
"I’ll never understand people who have pets they don’t love. How could you not?" - keekspeaks
"I'm scared of cats cutting me, too, and I can't afford to replace furniture if they destroy it. You know what I did? BLESS THEM, BUT I DIDN'T GET A F**KING CAT, KHLOE." - eatheapples
Kardashian may not have realized what she was doing, but she should have researched the procedure and possible side effects instead of taking someone else's word for it.
This is what happens, though, when people aren't ready to commit to being a pet owner and treat their pet more like an accessory instead.
