Can we see some actual examples of reduced drug prices? I can find various figures about savings but nothing clear. Maybe a savings 13% on premiums from 2020 until now? What would the average consumer see?

Why are we suddenly writing articles about this now? It's been true since 2016 or at worst mid 2018? It was obvious by then that he was an awful person doing real damage to the US and the entire planet.

UT is an amazing school and Texas takes enormous pride in it. Many leading families are alumni and plan on sending future generations there. Will they allow this to continue? I would guess yes, they will. Even smart people are victims of disinformation and can't see the forest for the trees.

She is great and I would love it but as a middle aged person in a purple area I can tell you that as it stands today most blue voters I know would not vote for her. Then again, nobody thought DJT could win either.

Kind of hard to understand how anyone can come to the conclusion that DJT was going to lower costs for low income folks but I will admit I did not think he would actually destroy the economy and yet here we are.

America refuses to enact sensible policies such as regulating the internet, getting rid of Citizen's United, regulating guns, getting a handle on income inequity, etc. A bad POTUS is just a symptom of a more widespread disease.

Sounds cool in theory, but doesn’t it just end up with a handful of states permitting this, and every corporation registering in those states?

How much did this cost? How much will it cost when the lawsuits are settled? If they don't care about the morality of what they are doing maybe we need to attack them on the practicalities.

I was an actual child of a divorcee when that aired (as were MANY of my friends) and it was meant to be an illustration of how times had changed because in the 70's divorce was commonplace.

Would be very interesting to hear how much all the immigration enforcement is costing us. Add on some analysis on indirect costs and effects on the economy and maybe even the GOP will start to question the wisdom of these policies.

And all that time the US government (taxpayer) is paying a fee to a private prison provider. These people are in a catch 22- They can't re-enter if they just go back to their home country and if they want to appeal they must accept horrendous conditions at taxpayer expense. Surely we can do better?

Four minutes of absolutely boring drivel. Clearly the journalist understood there were topics that could not be discussed and yet continued to put those questions forward. The interview we should’ve called her out on it before signing off but this gray rock option is also legit.

If ABC had fought this, let the threat play out they would have increased ratings and forced his hand. If DJT actually messed with a license of some vague comments by Jimmy Kimmel it would not have looked good.

Just wondering if any of the 39 counts Trump was convicted of would compare to the crime. This woman actually did not do.
