It's true. I've never heard of it before.
Trump claims he's slashing drugs prices by "200 percent, 300 percent, 400 percent, 500 percent, 600 percent, 700 percent, 800 percent. Nobody has ever heard of it before."

Trump and his lapdog Pete Hegseth are going after Mark Kelly.

RFK Jr. has NO business being health secretary and his conspiracy theories are going to get people killed.

This cannot continue—Republicans should join me in calling for RFK Jr. to be FIRED.

Donald Trump said "Quiet,piggy" to a female reporter today, who asked about the Epstein files.

Can anybody doubt that this man might have exploited women?

The "interview" between Todd Blanche and Ghislaine Maxwell was actually a negotiation

Republicans who vote against releasing the Epstein files in either chamber of Congress should get primaried.

'The Syrian president replied that he only has one wife as Trump slapped him on the shoulder and said, “Just one wife? With you guys, you never know. Right? You never know.”'

This is 100% not a surprise. The Kremlin and its oligarch bag men floated Trump through several cash flow crises.
The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

"I have met some very bad people, none as bad as Trump," Epstein wrote in 2017 to former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers. "Not one decent cell in his body."

Remember the traitor votes.
This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

Please stay the course in the government shutdown. Your GOP colleagues will soon realize that the SS Trump has hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic.

Affordable health care for Americans.

Nobody can afford for their health insurance costs to double, triple or worse. Millions of people will lose their health insurance and delay essential care.

Congress must extend the ACA tax credits and stop the health care crisis NOW. https://bit.ly/4qMCO94
