Among Trump’s many day-one actions, one that’s gone mostly unnoticed is his reversal of a Biden policy capping Medicare copays for generic drugs at $2. This rollback raises costs for seniors and those with chronic conditions, making life-saving medications harder to afford.

Do you think the January 6 rioters who squeezed this cop in a doorway and left him with a life of pain should be pardoned? Yes or no?

Trump pardoned a dozen drug traffickers, bypassed & ignored DOJ input, pardoned dozens of Republican elected officials, business cronies, lawyers, friends, donors and campaign officials. Promised to pardon J6ers who beat cops. I don’t care about Joe pardoning his last son.
