Let’s break this downβ€”because the gaslighting is wild:

πŸ“ŒOct 2022 – Biden signs EO to cut drug prices

πŸ“ŒJan 2025 – Trump takes office and kills Biden’s EO to cut drug prices

πŸ“ŒMay 2025 – Trump signs his own EO to lower drug prices

Trump canceled Biden’s plan then brought it back w/his name on it.

We don't need receipts. We know he's lying just based on the fact that his mouth is open.

Sigh! When China is more trustworthy than your own president.

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

Clearly, fear of life creates more adrenaline than performance anxiety.

β€œConservatives love to cut funding and then point to struggling services as evidence of government failure. When they do this, they're executing β€˜strategic defunding’ or β€˜starve the beast’ governance. We should explicitly name this cycle and expose it.”

Headed to El Salvador to meet with government officials and discuss return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia
YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen Headed to El Salvador to meet with government officials and discuss return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition β€” and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

We can't fix this nightmare with charity unfortunately. We need to bring people back into power that will bring back those services and re appropriate those funds.

I blame the people that are still in denial. Who say they don't read the news because it's too depressing. The people that feel privileged enough to remain blissfully unaware, but don't take the responsibility that comes with the privilege.

If you are privileged, you have a civic duty to stand up.

Heartbreaking thought. Let's hope it is the equally believable, but simpler explanation. Their gigantic egos.

Canada and Greenland, can you please pretend-join us, so that we can vote these Republican asses out, and reverse all this damage? We'll let you go back after with the highest hero's honor, and our gratitude forever.

I suppose it’s time to talk about this… and game out the potential consequences… if trump were to actually try to take Greenland by force.

First and foremost, Greenland is a territory of Denmark, a NATO ally. So, this would mean a declaration of war against Denmark, and by proxy, against NATO.

This is a better success metric than most others imo. A successful country is one where her citizens are spending more of their time in a state of well being.

Such metrics should be focused on and celebrated, not sidelined. Goes without saying, that's beyond the grasp of this administration.

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.

No one knows why he was detained.

I understand that this was the only situation where Dems had any leverage. But, my underlying question is - if the government shuts down, isn't that what the Trump administration wants? What prevents them from just keeping it shut? It would make things so much easier for DOGE. No?

I can believe this is fake. Not because Republicans aren't the dumbest voting group at the moment.. But because, Trump is too dumb himself to have made that observation.

If you don't get vaccinated, you are risking the lives of people around you.
It is NOT a personal decision. You SHOULDN'T get to have the right to risk the people around you.

BREAKING: Trump administration says trans service members have until March 26 to quit Air Force The Air Force says transgender service members have to leave before the end of March or face an uncertain future.

A little over 3 weeks. That’s how long Trump is giving transgender American service members to exit their careers. 3 weeks until their world will be turned upside down for being deemed unfit to serve the country simply for who they are.

I can’t wait for his demise.

By cutting funding for USAID

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are probably condemning one million children to die of starvation

200,000 to be paralyzed because they’ll likely contract polio

And up to 18 million cases of malaria per year

Which could cause another 166,000 deaths

Pure unadulterated evil

I’m sorry but this isn’t getting enough attention.

When RFK Jr. was asked about a young child who died of measles in Texas, he responded β€œIt's not unusual. We have measles outbreaks all the time.”

This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years.

Tldr;
WaPo: We just officially sold ourselves to the fascist regime. We don't have the integrity or courage to report facts in politics anymore. So, we'll switch our focus to a category like business, so we don't have to choose between truth and loyalty to the overlord.
