More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market. Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply. A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.

Ten years ago today, #SCOTUS issued five unsigned and unexplained 5-4 rulings granting emergency applications to block President Obama’s Clean Power Plan—a completely unprecedented move that helped to usher in the Court’s modern … (mis)adventures … with its shadow docket.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Hello Donald this is your political strategist speaking. I am advising you today to please keep saying this stuff

Mood in minneapolis right now

Just completely gob-smacked to hear the Minneapolis Emerg Response Director compare what is happening now to some of the worst global conflicts zones she has worked in- AND THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 😞

Watching live in Minneapolis- tear gas and agents deploy into the cloud with guys drawn.

What we are watching is a paramilitary force learning that they can kill with impunity, that the regime will smear the victim and defend them. Unless politicians and the legal system exerts accountability, it will not stop. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...

Wtaf- another ICE shooting in Minneapolis, minutes ago. Zero training of “officers” seems evident when you seen their uncontrolled response to shot fired by (likely) an officer, as detained person had had 4-5 people pressing him into the ground and hitting him in the face?! THIS MUST STOP 🔥

genuinely stunning image

Go, Minnesota! ❤️ #Minnesotanice @startribune.com @coachfinstock.bsky.social

Those that have decided not to regulate the stop loss have seen their small group ACA compliant market become effectively the high risk pool for the risky small groups.

BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from immigration detention after a federal judge's order Thursday, his attorney's office says.

The Yale crew is awesome and doing incredibly innovative things in the Medicaid and SNAP space. If you're interested in health policy and a predoc, run, do not walk, to apply for this!

Unfuckingbelievable.

anyway my answer to every single person who wants armed conflict is no you don’t sometimes it is the only option but it it sure worth exploring everything else before you get there because it is always, always bad

This is one of many decisions that only makes sense if you see the court as a political body, where six Republicans are willing to overturn a well reasoned District Court opinion with a 2.5 page opinion, with the likely and intended effect being to determine that Republicans hold Congress

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals. The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry. Where is the MAHA outcry?

“Since 1998, independent researchers have conducted more than 40 high-quality studies involving over 5.6 million people. The conclusion is clear and unambiguous: There’s no link between vaccines and autism." -Dr. Susan Kressly, AAP President on recent changes to the CDC's website

Pope Leo to #COP30 “It is not the Paris Agreement that is failing, we are failing in our response. What is failing is the political will of some. True leadership means service, and support at a scale that will make a difference.” www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

Lina Khan is brilliant. In short, bigger is not better...monopolies mean more billionaires, more concentration of wealth & power, less innovation, suppression of wages, increased prices, food deserts, environmental exploitation, more corruption. Time for a change. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

"Republicans are keeping the government closed, starving kids, and making you miss your Thanksgiving flights because they want your healthcare costs to go through the roof" is actually a pretty effective message for Democrats

Unpaid government workers are being fed by World Central Kitchen…let that sink in just how dire things are.

"The Antideficiency Act is explicit that private donations cannot be used to offset a lapse in appropriations," said Bill Hoagland, a former Senate GOP budget aide who is currently a senior vice president at the Bipartisan Policy Center." www.cnn.com/2025/10/24/p...

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

That’s a trillion dollar increase in two months.

SNAP benefits are about to lapse for 42 million people, because nothing says “save the children” like starving them.

For more information about the Friday night massacre at CDC, I wrote up an analysis of who got terminated and what that means for public health. Grateful to @saveamericamvmt.bsky.social for supporting and amplifying. We are in really terrible trouble. rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/the-death-...

Civil rights, voting rights and freedom fighter who founded the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party and who forced the Democratic National Committee to admit Black delegates Fannie Lou Hamer was born in Rueville, MS October 6, 1917. Arrests, beatings and bombings didn't stop this Queen of freedom.

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. If the government shuts down, it's because Republicans chose to shut it down rather than work with Democrats to pass a responsible budget.

"FEMA officials arrived to go door-to-door to help residents apply for federal funds. But then they stopped as the administration canceled the door-to-door program. FEMA closed disaster-recovery facilities where residents could apply for financial assistance last week." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
