I use Eliquis, a blood thinner, because I have Afib (atrial fibrillation). With Afib, blood doesn't pump out soon enough, and blood clots can form, causing stroke. Eliquis prevents clots. I've used a great Canadian pharmacy since 2018. Never a problem until THIS YEAR. (read on)

08.07.2025 23:25 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

In the US, Eliquis costs about $300/month; $500 for 3 months. In Canada, it costs me $60/month; $180 for 3 months. My March order got hung up in US Customs. Canada sent a replacement in May. BOTH orders have been DESTROYED! (read on)

The reason: My cost is not a factor. I must buy in the US. They say it's a quality issue. I got a blood test showing the drug was working. So not a quality issue. I think this administration is the issue. It's estimated over a million people use Canadian pharmacies. Please share, post, repost. Thks

One of the worst takes I’ve heard is that Trump ignoring Congress when striking Iran was no different from what Obama did. That is simply not true. The differences are realβ€”and important. πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

The War Powers Resolution requires the president to consult Congress before using military force. It also requires a formal explanation within 48 hours. If Congress does not authorize the action, it must end within 60 days.

23.06.2025 17:21 β€” πŸ‘ 29    πŸ” 4    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

When Obama used military force in places like Libya or against ISIS, there were always legal memos, briefings, and reports to Congress.

23.06.2025 17:21 β€” πŸ‘ 34    πŸ” 5    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

In Syria, after Assad used chemical weapons, Obama asked Congress for authorization before launching a strike, and when it became clear Congress wouldn’t support it, he respected the coequal branch and held off.

23.06.2025 17:21 β€” πŸ‘ 33    πŸ” 4    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Libya was admittedly more controversial. Obama didn’t request a vote, but he filed reports and argued that the operation didn’t meet the legal definition of hostilities. That argument was challenged but at least it existed.

23.06.2025 17:21 β€” πŸ‘ 26    πŸ” 3    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Trump’s strike on Iran was completely different. There was no legal explanation. No consultation with Congress. No vote.

I found out about it in the news like everyone else.

Trump cited the 2001 authorization meant for al Qaeda, but Iran is not al Qaeda. Iran had nothing to do with 9/11. There is no legitimate legal argument to support this move.

23.06.2025 17:21 β€” πŸ‘ 25    πŸ” 3    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

The Trump administration said there was an imminent threat. But they haven’t released enough evidence to back that up. Not even close.

23.06.2025 17:21 β€” πŸ‘ 42    πŸ” 4    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

Congress has the sole power to declare war. That is not a suggestion. It is the law. No president is above it.

And Trump ignored it.

Over 5 million Americans marched on No Kings Day.

And I was so proud to be one of the them.

Who should the American people believe: the independent, nonpartisan experts or Trump’s hand-picked Treasury Secretary?

NOT a tough choice.

Republicans say that Medicaid is riddled with fraud and that people who should be working, aren’t.

They said the same about the Child Tax Credit.

They’re wrong about both.

Yes, it’s hilarious & oh so deserving that the horribly wasteful πŸ’²πŸ’²
B-Day parade was such a crushing failure…

And the #NoKings protests were fantastic!

But let’s remember the astonishing amount of taxpayer money spent on that charade.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.
