When anti-vaxxers & their right wing allies complain about Big Pharma, they're not opposed to the Big.
They're opposed to *Pharma*.
They don't want there to be real medicine.
They want there to be snake oils sold by grifters & quacks.
They want you to die of infectious disease & fake medicine.

Makary: "Why are medications prescription only? If you think about it, if a medication is safe, doesn't require laboratory test monitoring & can't be used in some nefarious way, why do we require a prescription? Most of the world does not do that. There's something magical about price transparency."

What a pathetic whiner. This is not an "all Jews have dual loyalty" bias, it's a "this specific dude was so into Israel that he implied he was in the IDF when he wasn't."

Don’t forget Good’s widow.
So the mourning spouse, the mayor, and the governor are under criminal investigation. But not the cops who shot her three times, called her a “fucking bitch,” and denied her medical care.

The DOJ is not investigating ICE agent Jonathan Ross for the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a top official said Sunday.
The top DOJ official confirmed that an investigation is underway into Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.

The shadow cabinet idea was a great idea and should have been implemented a year ago. Would have presented an organized, unified response to the chaos, issue by issue, by people with expertise.
Democrats could act like a real opposition party, refusing to validate Trump malfeasance with votes, and setting up a shadow cabinet that regularly communicates how Democrats would be different. But nah.
It’s not only a majority of Democratic voters that hate this approach. US allies see it too.

The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.
Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

The official message of the U.S. government to ICE is if you kill an American citizen while trying to deport brown people, not only will we cover it up but we will try to jail their spouse instead.

Bill Cassidy, a medical doctor, beclowned himself and endangered millions of lives by voting to confirm RFK Jr. in an attempt to get on Trump's good side after voting to impeach him for January 6. And what did Cassidy get for it? Trump endorsing against him in a primary.

This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.
