Medicare has negotiated lower prices for 15 new drugs, including Ozempic.

This comes despite Trump pushing to repeal the law that made this possible — the Inflation Reduction Act — and his Big Ugly Bill exempting other high-price drugs from negotiations altogether.

John Roberts once promised to be like an umpire. He charmed both senators and the media, and for 20 years, was portrayed as a moderate institutionalist.

But today, it's become clear that the promise was a lie.

We are watching a rigged game, and Roberts set it up.
This is all John Roberts’ fault
Trump owes his corrupt and abusive reign to one man.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Trump is treating her like a battered wife. Wondering how Dr. Fauci felt as she drove death threats against him. Or, how scared David Hogg was when she essentially stalked him screeching about her right to carry the gun in her tote.

New polling in New York State shows that 60% of the population supports increasing taxes on the top 5% of income earners.

New Yorkers are also in favor of increasing taxes on large corporations based in the state, 60-30%.

The Senate has passed the House Epstein bill by unanimous consent, so it goes to Trump’s desk to sign and he has said he will sign it.

This means:
1) He will lean on Bondi to deny release based on "ongoing investigation "

OR

2) PER Mark Epstein, the files are scrubbed of Trump & Republicans
Live: US House and Senate approve release of Epstein files
The bipartisan bill will now head to President Donald Trump's desk to be signed into law.
