Why China Can Collapse the U.S. With One Decree China holds a virtual monopoly over a product needed to produce the only thing holding up our economy right now. And it’s preparing to use that leverage.

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!

The Border Patrol agent who shot a woman after their vehicles collided in Brighton Park this month has since driven his vehicle to Maine, preventing her defense attorney from examining it as he prepares for trial “as soon as possible,” the attorney told a judge Thursday.

The car is the “centerpiece” of the dispute over the Oct. 4 incident involving Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, attorney Chris Parente explained to U.S. District Judge Georgia Alexakis.

Now Parente said he intends to ask for sanctions in the hot-button case. In the meantime, Alexakis told prosecutors, “I think you need to get the car back.”

She ordered it returned to Chicago on a flatbed trailer, at Parente’s request.

Holy shit. The Chevy Tahoe Border Patrol used to slam Marimar Martinez before shooting her was the personal vehicle of the officer involved, not a rental and not CBP's--and he drove it back to Maine.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Post from WH about Chicago "in chaos," showing scene from another state.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Section 2 of the 15th Amendment explicitly delegates to Congress the right to decide how to enforce Black voting rights. That's what the text says. And that's the original intent of the framers.
