Congress has certified U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's election victory, a formality remarkable for its contrast to four years ago, when the Republican summoned a mob to Washington that ransacked the U.S. Capitol. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/01/07/world/politics/us-trump-four-years-c…

The formality was remarkable for its contrast to four years ago, when the Republican summoned a mob to Washington that ransacked the U.S. Capitol.

So it turns out rebels with no air force or long range weapons are the ones who can capture a country in 3 days.

A friend of mine who grew up in Eastern Germany before the wall came down once told me about three months he had spent in 2005 studying Arabic in Damascus. He said the whole atmosphere reminded him of Stasi times in the GDR. Everybody on their guard, informants everywhere.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

The North Carolina General Assembly’s GOP supermajority just approved a hugely corrupt power grab, seizing authority from the governor and the courts to prevent any meaningful check on legislative abuses. Authoritarian stuff. A very dark day for democracy in NC. amp.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Trump doesn’t care about most of the government. What he wants is control of the centers of real power: Defense, Intelligence and Justice. That’s how Russian autocracy began. Senate GOP: This is a road you do not want to head down. Reject the Trump nominees.

What is your approach to dealing with the non-pass through PBMs ? What about supporting independent pharmacies in your district ? (if any are left )

It’s a serious question, and one that I deal with every day.

Curious your thoughts
It is hard to counter this combo of cynicism and lying without bonafide candidates who can throw a punch.

If we want to beat a right wing that weaponizes (justified!) public anger at Big Pharma to destroy the social safety net + spread conspiracies, we can’t run Dems who take money from Big Pharma.
