Perino: You have to stop at with the Twitter thing. If I were his wife, I would say you are making a fool of yourself, stop it… He's got a big job as governor of California but if he wants an even bigger job, he has to be a little more serious.

The administration will now decide how much leisure time you should have.
Mehmet Oz: "It is reprehensible to criticize the president on this I think very earnest effort to save Medicaid ... an able-bodied person on Medicaid today watches about 6.1 hours of television or just hangs out -- leisure time. That's a lot of time."

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.
An international trucking logistics firm is buying as much as *** $20 MILLION *** worth of President Donald Trump’s crypto coins to influence the administration’s trade policy.

Company Boasts Spending Up To $20 Million On Trump Crypto Coin To Buy Influence
The arrangement puts money in Trump’s pocket in return for the opportunity to change policy — exactly the sort of pay-to-play scheme critics warned about.

I say this as a Catholic: I really don't care about the Trump-Pope photo. He wants you to be outraged, wants you talking about dumb shit like that—and not the fact that they're crashing the economy and making everything more expensive. Don't play his stupid game.

Measles was completely eradicated in the United States by the MMR vaccine. It is not possible for anything to be better than that. It is journalistic malpractice to present this as anything other than stupidity, lies, and outright fraud.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will direct federal health agencies to explore potential new treatments for measles as the U.S. faces its largest outbreak in 25 years. Experts fear the decision could have grave consequences, as studies show the existing vaccine is 97% effective in preventing infection.
RFK Jr. Orders Search for New Measles Treatments Instead of Urging Vaccination
Decades of research have turned up no miracle treatment for measles, but studies show the M.M.R. shot is 97 percent effective in preventing the disease.

Mitch McConnell, a polio survivor who may suffer from post-polio syndrome, is going to have to go his grave knowing that he personally ushered in the return of vaccine-preventable diseases.

Just have Medicare use the negotiated pricing that private health insurance companies use.
Take the top 5 insurance companies or hospitals prices for drugs and then average the price.
Government doesn’t negotiate and companies can’t complain because they already negotiated the price.
