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.
This video showcases the documentation files kept on every family in the city of Sweida in southern Syria. Each family has its own report and file maintained by the Political Security Branch in Sweida.

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.

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.

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.
