While many prescription drugs will not be affected by the latest tariffs imposed by Trump, the details are still murky. What is clear is that this short-sighted price hike on American consumers won't bring drug prices down anytime soon.

I agree! Washington is indeed lucky that Jane Beyer chose a career of public service. #wwjd
OIC’s senior health policy advisor Jane Beyer recently did a Q&A with the National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) about her 30+ years in public service. The OIC is lucky to have staff like her! Read more: nashp.org/grounded-in-... @nashphealth.bsky.social

This is what the Republican’s best and brightest does instead of acting as the leader of the free world. Despicable doesn’t even come close to describe this.

It doesn’t take intelligence, courage or talent to break things. And destroying Medicaid - a lifeline to millions of Americans - is just plain cruel. #Healthcare4All
Lowering our uninsured rate to under 5% should make Washington a model, not a target! WA is the No. 1 target in the GOP's health care slashing bill. 🤯 Read more here: www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

What did I just say about the attack on the media? The attacks on the media, lawyers/judges and universities are right out of Project 2025 and are a warning to everyone that the foundation for a dictatorship is being laid. Do not go softly into that dark night.
The Trump administration said Tuesday that it would no longer reserve a regular slot in the presidential press pool for three independent newswires that have participated for decades, including The Associated Press.
White House Ends a Regular Reporting Slot for Independent Newswires
The move, which affects The Associated Press, Bloomberg News and Reuters, is another effort by the Trump administration to exert more control over the press corps that covers it.

The President’s attacks on universities, law firms/judges and the media are right out of Project 2025. Destroying them is how civil society breaks down. And that is how dictatorships are born. Normalizing this behavior, like Bill Maher did, isn’t the answer. Fighting back like Harvard is doing, is.

An utterly shameful display of ignorance and arrogance by the US President. And the damage to the US will take decades to repair.
