No one will ever do it, but I would just LOVE to see someone ask, "Sir, how much does a $100 drug cost after a 500% discount?"

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3h

Trump: "Drug prices went down for the year by 1/8 of 1 percent. Now I'm getting them down, Maria, 500, 600, 800 percent. In some cases even more than that. It's hard to believe."

Whenever Democrats are tempted to pull out the old “spirited disagreements but we’re all Americans” bromide, they need to remember this first.

That’s his ultimate goal - render them and all of Congress pointless and they are giving him that outcome.

Certainly Trump saying things like "You'll never have to vote again" and "We've got a surprise for Democrats" and touching John Roberts shoulder thanking him personally, saying he will never forget it aren't any reason to be worried.
Nah, our pedophilic techno-oligarchic overlords would never.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

🚨🚨 - Republicans are after your healthcare AND paid sick leave.

🎃 Fiona "Fi" Webster 🎃 @fiona-webster22.bsky.social · 4d

Support for the right to paid sick leave, & other forms of paid medical leave, is an issue w/ astronomically high support across the US.

But business interests & corporate lobbies are pushing for weakened sick-leave policy. And the GOP is going along w/ them.

If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.

Peter Giunta is an interesting guy. He used the NYS Young Republicans X account to personally harass me in a way that was ugly enough that other NYYRs even told him to take it down lol. He was a loose cannon running that account before he stepped down after allegedly not paying a bunch of bills.
