Ironically, while big Britain-BASED drug firms (AstraZeneca, for example) do business in the U.S., they manufacture their drugs in the U.S. anyway, or APIs in India which won’t be impacted by this agreement anyway.

‘I am your retribution’: In his second term, Trump has turned that rallying cry into a governing principle. A Reuters tally finds at least 470 people, businesses and institutions targeted for payback. Full investigation: reut.rs/49B2UWt

The FDA never released a comprehensive list of the drugs it allowed into the U.S. even though they were made by banned factories.

Of note: @costplusdrugs.com Expands Access with Addition of Starjemza (ustekinumab-hmny)—a biosimilar of Stelara—with a cash price that’s 99% below the reference product to give patients more power over prescription costs. The only thing that's special about "specialty" drugs is the high price.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money.

They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America.

There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

The Trump regime granted asylum to the alleged DC shooter in April. Kristi Noem lies that the Biden administration did not vet him. But if that were true, why didn't the Trump regime vet him? Is Noem saying they trusted Biden, whom they blame for everything bad that's happened since Trump took over?
WELKER: What vetting did the Trump administration do before giving this suspect asylum?

KRISTI NOEM: The vetting process happens when the person comes into the country and Joe Biden completely did not vet any of these individuals

Withholding support from corporations enabling the Trump regime is a powerful way to fight authoritarianism. Supporting the organizations who do fight back hard and organize others to fight is just as important. If you can, pitch in to power your friendly pro-democracy organizers at Indivisible.

Ever since the government shutdown, it’s finally begun to sink in on people that Trump and his entire administration are a bunch of raging ideologues or incompetents or both, peddling a fantasy version of their strength that people no longer buy.

In case you’re just joining, this murderous monster is one of Trump’s pals, along with Putin, Orban and the Bone Saw and, as such, believes no one will hold him accountable.

BASH: Trump is clearly very concerned about Central & South American presidents allegedly trafficking drugs to the US. So why is he planning to pardon former Honduran president who was convicted of drug trafficking?
