Ozempic was on the list of new drugs up for negotiation.

But not only will consumers not get THAT benefit, but once Trump throws tariffs on Denmark it may raise prices that way.
Trump has rolled back a Biden order that mandated negotiations to the lower cost of drugs for people using Medicare and Medicaid.

Medicare had just announced 15 more drugs whose prices they were going to bring down in negotiations with Big Pharma.

This morning was a rude awakening.

My eyes opened and my mind quickly began to assemble the first few seconds of my day when a terrible interruption broke in and I remembered:

Yes, that unhinged madman is actually our President again.

Non-binary people exist.

Nothing anyone says will stop that from being true.

In the first two days of this presidency, we have a delusional billionaire de-facto cabinet member giving a Nazi salute and a sitting GOP senator calling for the deportation of a minister preaching about mercy for the vulnerable.

Super work, MAGA voters. Hope this was worth owning the Libs.

Literally nothing is as MAGA as watching a bunch of self-righteous frauds who pretend to give a damn about Christianity, viciously attacking a minister who preached about caring for the vulnerable while their rapist-felon messiah scoffed at her.

Your religion is short one Jesus.

This is an amazing quote, from a Jan 6 prisoner who is refusing Trump’s pardon.

New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.

No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.

And no indication how long the pause will last.

Trump officials pause health agencies’ communications, citing review
The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.

DHS has terminated the memberships of everyone on its advisory committees.

This includes several cyber committees, like CISA's advisory panel and the Cyber Safety Review Board, which was investigating Salt Typhoon.

That review is "dead," person familiar says.

Undocumented immigrants contribute $33.9 billion in social benefits that they are barred from using, including $25.7 billion in Social Security.

These programs stand to lose billions of dollars from a mass deportation program.

Undocumented workers often pay taxes that help fund programs like Social Security — even if they can’t collect from them in the future.

BREAKING: In a new executive order sent out by the White House, Donald Trump has revoked the federal contractor nondiscrimination executive order, EO 11246, that was signed by Lyndon Johnson in 1965 and has protected employees of businesses seeking federal contracts from discrimination ever since.
