Almost as if that was the point all along
This is a sobering--and depressing statistic. Sizable layoffs in the federal government are likely contributing to the increase in unemployment among Black college graduates.

Interesting that WaPo can give us this level of context when describing a potential asteroid strike, but not so much when an unelected billionaire is staging a coup.

Did Trump just say he will put tariffs on medications?
Americans already pay more for prescription medications than anywhere in the world - and he wants us to pay EVEN MORE?
Americans want cheaper drug prices. Trump is giving us higher taxes instead.

Very sorry that I had to leave journalism but very happy (and more fulfilled!) with what I do now.

As someone with Crohn’s who also relies on an insanely expensive biologic and has had to fight insurance companies (though not nearly to this degree), this infuriates me. But Sheryl is exactly right. They do these things because they know most people have neither the time nor knowledge to fight.
Last year, my health insurance company stopped paying for my Humira. Humira is a type of immunosuppressive drug called a biologic, and I take a pretty high dose of it to control my severe Crohn's Disease. Without it, I will have a bowel obstruction, and then I will die.
