Commentary: There's much less than meets the eye in Trump's 'historic' drug price deal with Pfizer Trump and Pfizer said they reached a landmark deal to cut drug prices. Most Americans won't see a benefit, but Pfizer will.

More lies.
"Trump didn’t extract concessions from Pfizer—the company squeezed a concession from him. Its savings from its tariff exemptions will probably outpace its revenue and profit reductions from price cuts. American patients? They’re getting almost nothing."

Thanks for the lead! I will.

I'd noticed that. First (and only) time I had it, I noted that if I wanted to drink Karo syrup, I'd have ordered Karo syrup.

WTF?

Wow! Nailed it.

I thank those 282 legal professionals for their service to our country.

I've called them Faux Noise for years.

At a rally for YES on California's proposition 50 Saturday, a woman rolled down her car window and called us "fucking idiots." She screamed that we'd lose representation we'd needed following a huge fire in 2020. I checked. Our district remains the same. Guess we weren't the idiots after all.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

Joining you: I'd planned to get one, but changed my mind.

As basic question from an ex-police reporter: Can some of our journalists detail the training regimen all these new federal agents receive? The lethal incompetence involving use of force and perameters of the 4A suggests they are just handed guns, masks and badges and told to go fuck people up.

NO SHIT!

This Portland police officer stood up for his community against ICE agents trying to drive into a crowd of protesters.

“You WILL be arrested.”

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him.

(…because he literally incited an insurrection)

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

Feel free to attribute the following to a former OMB General Counsel: The supposed "new legal analysis" is, to use a technical legal term, horseshit. What the law actually says is that when Congress enacts a law ending a lapse, furloughed employees get paid at the earliest date possible. Period.

I'd usually say, "From your lips to god's ears." But that doesn't really work here, does it?

Thou shalt put all these war criminals on trial at the Hague.

Photos of the damage.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

A new White House memo says that furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to back pay.

This is clearly against the law, which guarantees furloughed federal employees back pay for the duration of a government shutdown.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse asked Pam Bondi about DOJ's decision to drop the investigation into Tom Homan.

MSNBC first reported that Homan was recorded in Sept. 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover FBI sting.

Bondi refused to answer, then attacked Whitehouse.

John Oliver: "If ICE can bother some guys at a roofing job, bystanders can bother ICE at their state-sanctioned kidnapping job."

Last night, an intruder broke into the Legislative Building and damaged several facilities and historical artifacts.

There was significant damage in our State Reception Room, which is a particularly important space. We are still assessing the damage.
