📌Oct 2022 – Biden signs EO to cut drug prices
📌Jan 2025 – Trump takes office and kills Biden’s EO to cut drug prices
📌May 2025 – Trump signs his own EO to lower drug prices
Trump canceled Biden’s plan then brought it back w/his name on it.

I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

I blame the people that are still in denial. Who say they don't read the news because it's too depressing. The people that feel privileged enough to remain blissfully unaware, but don't take the responsibility that comes with the privilege.

I suppose it’s time to talk about this… and game out the potential consequences… if trump were to actually try to take Greenland by force.
First and foremost, Greenland is a territory of Denmark, a NATO ally. So, this would mean a declaration of war against Denmark, and by proxy, against NATO.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are probably condemning one million children to die of starvation
