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."

Offensive and patronizing, indeed. Describes much of the GOP nowadays, come to think of it.

A screenshot of an X.com post by @BlueATLG
, Blue Georgia, posted 9 hours ago, stating, "Mike Johnson is asked about the delay in swearing in Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva: 'Bless her heart. She's a representative elect. She doesn't know how it works around here.' Grijalva: 'How offensive and how patronizing. Yesterday, my race was certified, and so that's how things work. Your job is to swear me in.'" The post includes a video still from various news networks (Fox News, CNN) showing a split-screen of multiple news anchors discussing the topic, with headlines such as "DEM REP-ELECT RESPONDS TO HOUSE SPEAKER'S 'BLESS HER HEART' DIG" and "DEMOCRATS STORM SPEAKER JOHNSON'S OFFICE," along with a Blue Georgia alert icon.

If the Commander of Southern Command is stepping down less than a year into his tenure, I’m guessing we’re about to find out the intelligence picture on these “narco-terrorist” vessels that we’re blowing out of the water isn’t as solid as it’s being portrayed.

I can almost guarantee you that there will be right wing agitators posing as Antifa to discredit the protests. Stay safe and keep your cameras on.

@SpeakerJohnson
and Trump are trying to frame No Kings protests as a “hate America rally.” Trump’s cabinet are claiming peaceful marchers are “antifa terrorists” and “pro-Hamas.” Prepare for infiltration of paid actors to instigate violence ‼️#FalseFlag #umbrellaman

One child going hungry in America is one too many – this used to be a value we could all agree upon.

The Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans need to do their damn job and start delivering for the American people.

Enough is enough.

After driving down the market price of the overdose-reversing naloxone, we're now working to do the same for insulin.

California is taking direct action by supporting contracting for a quality, low-cost insulin supply — and we will keep fighting to slash costs for Californians.

We warned people but they didn't listen.
Unfortunately, we are all going to suffer the consequences of electing Trump - again.
All we can do is continue to fight any way we can: Call your reps. Attend protests. Please join your local rally on Saturday the 18th.

Trump has effectively become a dictator. The Supreme Court works for him. There is no longer a legislative branch, and he is now spending our tax revenue as he sees fit, with no check. They’ve willed their traiterous unitary executive fantasies into being.

Trump diverts anti-terror funds from Democratic strongholds to Republican states

The Trump administration plans to shift terrorism prevention funding from Democratic-led states toward those led by Republicans, government records show, as it overhauls a $1 billion program created after the 9/11 attacks.
