AOC: This is quite a bit of market concentration. Agreed?

CVS HEALTH CHAIR DAVID JOYNER: No. I'd suggest it's a model that works well for the consumer

AOC: It works well for CVS. Health insurance gets a cut, pharmacy benefit manager gets one, drug manufacturer gets one, & the patient gets screwed

I just spent the morning at the immigration court in San Antonio. What I saw was insane. The blatant, systemic violation of the law. I’m going live on @instagram at @senchrismurphy in a few minutes to tell you about what I saw.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.

Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.

I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.

I need to share with you what I saw.

The most intimate and detailed account of what happens when ICE arrives. Exclusive video revealing a high-speed chase, an underaged U.S. citizen assaulted, an undocumented father separated from his family, and an iPhone, taken, with no explanation.
