This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance.

Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

Last year, I launched an investigation into the outrageous price Novo Nordisk charges for Wegovy.

Novo now says it will cut Wegovy’s price for the uninsured from $1,349 to $499.

This is a modest step forward. But Novo must do better.

Wegovy can be purchased for $92 in the U.K.

There’s just an unseriousness about them. They handled classified information, war plans - real life & death stuff - like they were just drinking beers watching a big football game in some bar. Totally unserious.

Which isn’t at all a surprise when you look at who nominated them.

“What has happened here is an illegal takeover of a private nonprofit:" DOGE used police and private security to forcefully take over the U.S. Institute of Peace–an independent nonprofit founded by Congress–after firing its president and board last week.

The U.S. Institute of Peace is not a federal agency or located in a federal building. That didn’t stop DOGE from taking over.

My response to the Democratic response. This is not the time for normal politics.
"America does not need a 'resistance,' or stale slogans, or people putting those slogans on little paddles. It needs an opposition party that boldly defends the nation’s virtues, the rule of law, and the rights of its people," writes @radiofreetom.bsky.social:
Democrats Are Acting Too Normal
In her response to Trump’s address, Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin failed to capture the hallucinatory nature of our national politics.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.
