Two Swiss lawmakers are calling for a bribery investigation into gifts Trump got from a delegation seeking lower tariffs. The group gave Trump an engraved gold bar and a Rolex table clock. Around a week and a half later, Trump lowered the tariffs.

WOW; a DEEPLY corrupt move by the immigration courts; clear collaboration with Trump admin officials to produce a specific result with zero notice to the party and ALSO in a situation where the judge facially lacks jurisdiction; the judge had denied a motion to reopen and the case is on appeal.

Big Pharma Can Tweak Drugs to Keep Generics Off the Market Taking advantage of a broken patent system, Big Pharma is making minor tweaks to medications just to keep affordable generics off the market, a new report suggests. They’ve made billions of dollars in...

This is the kind of stuff that really radicalizes me and should infuriate any decent person: Big Pharma’s abuse of the patent system.

I know this sounds naive, but something has got to change… there’s no constituency for Big Pharma!

And no one, except for the lobbyists, wants higher drug prices.

This book appears to be an epic failure. I could not understand or even get through this short audio segment, with its clipped words and nonsensical phrasing. The bits of the book I've read used tortured language to make boring observations mostly about herself. Nice cover though.

Secretary Noem finally said the quiet part out loud: asylum seekers are here legally.

That admission means ICE is violating federal law under her direction as they ruthlessly assault and deport people with pending asylum cases.

The truth finally comes out.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia freed from federal immigration detention, his attorney's office says Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from an immigration detention center in Pennsylvania following an order from a federal judge issued Thursday, according to his attorney’s office.

Democratic leadership didn’t want to stick their necks out for him. The GOP didn’t want him even referred to as a β€œMaryland man.” Sen. Chris Van Hollen, his congressional representative fought for him. And we should never forget any of this. apnews.com/article/abre...

He can't offer a single bit of concrete information about this so-called organization, Antifa; yet he can call it the #1terrorist organization in the U.S. Bennie Thompson calls him out.

Excellent coverage of the American Renaissance conference in Tennessee. The conference organizes white supremacists, antisemites, Nazis, you know, the "worst of the worst" and some of them get photographed and named here.

Sanders: Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans.

Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills.

OFC, who’s going to process all the border crossing data?

I like the analogy he starts out with.

"I took the bus down here from Dallas this morning . . . If the bus driver had told me he was 60% sure he could get me to Houston safely, I wouldn't have gotten on the bus."
