If you got $1 million, you can pretty much commit any crime you want and Trump will pardon you. I would recommend Pam Bondi’s brother for representation. He seems to get the best results, for some reason.

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

Trump admits he applies makeup to his hands to hide bruises. He takes more aspirin than his doctors recommend — 325 milligrams a day — which causes him to bruise easily.

"…I don't want thick blood pouring through my heart," Trump says. "I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart."

Let me rephrase for those trying to be literal. Yes I know they don’t negotiate more than what the IRA defines. But they do approve the plans for part d and ma, which includes the PBM that set the prices for meds for beneficiaries. They also have the ability to create new approaches through CMMI
