Hey @UPS where are my packages? They got shipped to the city they were supposed to go to and then haven’t moved. Cutting me a check isn’t good enough, I want to know where my packages are.

Hey Donald Trump, the United States is a democracy and facts matter. Facts are facts, you can’t lie and pretend they are something else because you don’t like the facts. That is adulting 101 which you must have missed. No reason the fire the messenger.

Donald Trump has been working hard to make stuff more expensive. And Americans seem to have noticed the effort.
Americans no longer trust Trump to handle inflation
The president has spent six months promising to make everything more expensive, and the polls reflect that.

this is legitimately evil
Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."

Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.

Ethical violation as POLICY.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr will require all new vaccines to undergo placebo testing, WaPo reports
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr intends to shift the way vaccines are tested, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing a spokesperson from the HHS.

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago.

It also received $22M in federal aid.

While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.
