I use Eliquis, a blood thinner, because I have Afib (atrial fibrillation). With Afib, blood doesn't pump out soon enough, and blood clots can form, causing stroke. Eliquis prevents clots. I've used a great Canadian pharmacy since 2018. Never a problem until THIS YEAR. (read on)
July 8, 2025 at 11:25 PM
In the US, Eliquis costs about $300/month; $500 for 3 months. In Canada, it costs me $60/month; $180 for 3 months. My March order got hung up in US Customs. Canada sent a replacement in May. BOTH orders have been DESTROYED! (read on)
July 8, 2025 at 11:25 PM
The reason: My cost is not a factor. I must buy in the US. They say it's a quality issue. I got a blood test showing the drug was working. So not a quality issue. I think this administration is the issue. It's estimated over a million people use Canadian pharmacies. Please share, post, repost. Thks

One of the worst takes I’ve heard is that Trump ignoring Congress when striking Iran was no different from what Obama did. That is simply not true. The differences are real—and important. 🧵👇

The War Powers Resolution requires the president to consult Congress before using military force. It also requires a formal explanation within 48 hours. If Congress does not authorize the action, it must end within 60 days.

When Obama used military force in places like Libya or against ISIS, there were always legal memos, briefings, and reports to Congress.

In Syria, after Assad used chemical weapons, Obama asked Congress for authorization before launching a strike, and when it became clear Congress wouldn’t support it, he respected the coequal branch and held off.

Libya was admittedly more controversial. Obama didn’t request a vote, but he filed reports and argued that the operation didn’t meet the legal definition of hostilities. That argument was challenged but at least it existed.

Trump’s strike on Iran was completely different. There was no legal explanation. No consultation with Congress. No vote.

Trump cited the 2001 authorization meant for al Qaeda, but Iran is not al Qaeda. Iran had nothing to do with 9/11. There is no legitimate legal argument to support this move.

The Trump administration said there was an imminent threat. But they haven’t released enough evidence to back that up. Not even close.

Congress has the sole power to declare war. That is not a suggestion. It is the law. No president is above it.

And Trump ignored it.

Who should the American people believe: the independent, nonpartisan experts or Trump’s hand-picked Treasury Secretary?

NOT a tough choice.
