It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.

Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

Yes, but….not in a vacuum. We need the corresponding infrastructure (schools, fire/EMS, Hospitals, transportation, etc.) strengthened to support the increase in our population.

Taxpayers spent millions to train diplomats in critical skills and key languages like Chinese, Arabic, and Russian. Then the State Department fired 250 of them. How's that for "strategic?"

From the data we've collected from fired State employees, here's what was lost on 7/11:

—20 Chinese speakers
—17 Russian/Ukrainian speakers
