@karolineleavitt.bsky.social You are being sucked down the #Trump sinkhole where you'll never recover. Honestly, quit now. Your self respect is gone and #TrumpStink can never be completely scrubbed from you.

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity.

And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.

Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

Notable points in Judge Perry's remarks in Illinois v Trump National Guard case.⤵️

Judge:
1. Federalized deployment of National Guard not quelling civil unrest. Instead, it is "likely to lead to civil unrest."

2. State and local community policing not well geared for out of state Guards.

This new Pentagon press policy is not good for our press or our military.

And I’m saying that as a former soldier who knows the importance of a free press.
