What is your approach to dealing with the non-pass through PBMs ? What about supporting independent pharmacies in your district ? (if any are left )

It is hard to counter this combo of cynicism and lying without bonafide candidates who can throw a punch.
If we want to beat a right wing that weaponizes (justified!) public anger at Big Pharma to destroy the social safety net + spread conspiracies, we can’t run Dems who take money from Big Pharma.

🚨 How did an 80-20 Trump county in rural Kentucky also turn out to be the most anti-school voucher county in the state?
I drove there to find out. 🛻
And the lessons I learned go way beyond the enormous value of public schools in rural communities.
