New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time
"American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."

Donald has spent the last week pardoning his friends who defrauded Medicare, union pensions, banks, and more. This is what “fraud and abuse” actually looks like.

Good news: Donald Trump, who never lies, just announced he alone has reduced drug prices by 85%.
Quick.
Go to your pharmacy. Demand an 85% reduction on your drug prices. Tell them Trump sent you.
If that doesn’t work, tell him to support the bill I'm introducing that'll do it.
