The Price of Remission: This Cancer Drug Saves Lives — but Costs a Fortune. I Wanted to Know Why.
When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked ...

Donald Trump hates me, and the feeling is mutual.
I believe he is a criminal and an authoritarian who is trying to destroy our democracy and the rule of law. I spend a considerable amount of my time fighting against him and his enablers in court and in public discourse.

TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota.
REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members?
TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.

The rest of the press looks cowardly when it stands there silently while Trump repeatedly insults female reporters.
In less than 2 weeks, Trump has called one female reporter “piggy,” another female reporter “ugly“ and a third female reporter “stupid.”
All decent Americans are disgusted by this.

Q: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted & it came up clean
TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting
Q: Actually, your DOJ IG says there was thorough vetting of Afghans. So why blame Biden?

MGT's grift illustrates that this country has a serious problem with insider trading by Congress - a scourge of anti-democratic corruption inflicting both sides of the aisle far too heavily.
Let's also not forget that when Marjorie Taylor Greene entered Congress in 2021, she was worth about $700,000. She leaves five years later, worth around $25,000,000.

And whether it’s continuing to use his social media platform or passing along his wild fantasies and fabrications unchallenged, huge swaths of the press still grant him legitimacy.
Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
