Hey, Macarena!

DPVA Chairman Senator Lamont Bagby Issues Statement on MAGA Shutdown and More Potential Firings of Virginia Workers
Richmond, Virginia β In response to MAGA Republicans, Democratic Party of Virginia Chairman Senator Lamont Bagby issued the following statement regarding the MAGA shutdown of the federal government and Trumpβs plan to use the shutdown to fire more Virginians:
βMAGA Republicans, including Representatives Jen Kiggans and Rob Wittman, helped Donald Trump create a healthcare crisis in Virginia β and Winsome Earle-Sears has cheered it on,β Bagby said.
βPremiums will skyrocket for those buying healthcare on the ACA exchange next month and hundreds of thousands of Virginians will be kicked off Medicaid next year. But Virginia MAGA Republicans would rather march to the beat of Donald Trumpβs drum and shut down the government than look out for their constituents.
MAGA chaos in Washington has raised the stakes of our elections here in Virginia. MAGA candidates, like Winsome Earle-Sears, are only interested in more tax cuts for billionaires and cutting healthcare to pay for it. Theyβre even willing to shut down the government to make this happen. Even worse, Trump and Republicans are escalating their attacks on Virginiaβs workforce, planning to use the shutdown to pave the way for permanent firings.
We need to focus on driving down prices for Virginians and standing up for Virginia jobs - especially the price of health care. Virginians need to stand up to this nonsense by voting for Abigail Spanberger."

Pfizer Inc. Chief Executive Officer Albert Bourla said the company secured a three-year grace period from President Donald Trumpβs promised tariffs on pharmaceuticals in a deal that would lower some of the companyβs US drug prices.
Pfizer will sell some drugs at a 50% average discount on a direct-to-consumer website called TrumpRx, an initiative intended to allow Americans to pay for prescriptions at discounted rates negotiated by the government.
The deal appears to resolve two major threats facing Pfizer. It would stave off more damaging drug pricing policies while shielding the company from future tariffs imposed by the administrationβs Section 232 investigation into whether the cost of medicine represents a national security threat.
Thanks to fascist voters, pudding-brained non-voters, a broken Congress, and a broken SCOTUS, this rank corruption and authoritarian control of the economy is simply how things work now in the failed state of American.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. Itβs ridiculous.

This is something that not even Putin or Lukashenko have gone so far as to do! Suggesting that they use their own cities as military training grounds for suppression of domestic opposition and civil war.
