Wow. "Months after law firms made deals with President Trump to ward off punitive executive orders, the ethics committee of the District of Columbia Bar is warning that such arrangements may require firms to drop or obtain waivers from all clients who have interests at odds with the government."

On the Epstein ballroom, given the President’s secure facility was under the East Wing, a new one has to be built. Is that facility being paid for it of the $300 million or are federal funds being used for that and just « happen » to cover construction costs for the ballroom $300 million as profit.

Hmmm. I thought the desertification of prior arable land was leading to rural populations leaving the countryside. Climate change as a stimulator of poverty and disease. Trump cuts also shown to be causing an “or” as opposed to “and” vision.

In July, Nory & her mother were deported together.

Now, Nory is orphaned alone. My investigation for @19thnews.org reveals how Estela Ramos Baten's death at 45 followed her rapid deportation to Guatemala -- without her meds, her family says.

Nory and her mother were deported together. Then she was orphaned.
Estela’s death at 45 followed her rapid deportation, leaving her teenage daughter to navigate a new life in Guatemala on her own — afraid of the same gang violence her mother originally fled.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.
A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states: “FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine. They do not have large cocaine factories. They do not produce fentanyl either. What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

The question is the answer, no?

Why does the public have so little faith in an industry that, despite its marketing infractions and high prices, generates products that prevent, treat, and cure everything from heart attacks to HIV to cancer?

Sometimes the biggest moments at a conference happen backstage. At the annual STAT Summit, that kind of moment involved a pharma CEO and a toddler in a tuxedo.
