It is disappointing to reflect on the choices of those who supported or abstained from voting. When the Constitution was drafted, it was unimaginable that someone like Trump could gain support for the presidency, especially someone with multiple serious convictions.

Doing your holiday shopping this weekend? Prices for many of the most popular holiday gifts have risen an average of 26% since last year — nearly 9 times the rate of inflation.
Meanwhile, Trump’s personal net worth has soared by at least $3 billion this year.

Since his appointment, RFK Jr. has pursued a brutal vision of American health that several experts liken to a sort of eugenics. Kennedy has made it clear that certain deaths are acceptable or even preferable to a world where every child is vaccinated.

NEW: I Started Covering the COVID-19 Crisis in Albany, Georgia. This Moment Made Me Realize There Was a Bigger Story to Tell.
The virus had killed about 38 people, most of them Black, by April 2020. But when a white judge died, local officials made sure to announce her name.

Imperialist exploitation writ large. Sherpas should charge their clients the equivalent of the valued life (using actuarial tables) of the clients to haul their gear and keep them alive.

Often cast as “superhuman,” Sherpas are the porters and guides who risk their lives to help others reach the summit of Everest, often with little recognition. Now, a new generation is hoping to change that. Cecilia Vega reports, Sunday. 60Minutes.com

Donald Trump has never shown an appreciation of the arts. During his first term, Trump never attended the Kennedy Center Honors. Now, even though it takes an act of Congress to change the name, he has put his name ahead of President Kennedy, who was a champion of the arts. It is funny, isn’t it?

He is trying to erase all the history since his birth and replace with everything TRUMP. He even extends this erasure to when his draft-dodging grandfather came to the US from Germany. Ask Stephen Miller.

We created a new tool that uses prescription label information to identify where your drug was made.
It also lets you see if and when that factory was inspected for quality and safety violations.

Where Was My Generic Prescription Drug Made? - Rx Inspector - ProPublica
The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information on your prescription label to locate the factory and see inspection reports.

The system that created Epstein, protected him, and let him thrive for decades, still exists. His market of powerful monsters still exists, and they're still being protected.
There is definitely, right now, someone serving the same role he did, being protected the same way by the same people.

Your Friday reminder that trickle-down economics is a cruel hoax.
Cruel because it's used by the super-rich to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.
And a hoax because nothing has ever trickled down.
