FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you
LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times
F: Not a 600% cut
L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

Second week in a row the NFL feeds on YouTube TV are fuzzy. Combined with price increases and dropping the local hockey channel means my days as a customer are numbered.

The amount of hero-worship of traitors is sickening. Confederates lost. The mistake was not following up and hanging them all. (after due process, of course)
We should not be forced to have our tax dollars pay homage to traitors. It is simply appalling to honor those who killed members of our military carrying the flag that we pledge allegiance to. Justice is about to be served, we hope.

At some point you just run out of things to say, right? There’s no argument to make. There’s nothing to discuss. The executive branch is saying “We make our own law and obey no one” and either you say “Okay, I guess you do” or you put down the whole administration and salt the earth where it stood
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?
KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.

This tells me you don't understand health insurance, economics...or women.
Cassidy: "If she goes and gets 2 types of shampoo & one is a dollar cheaper, she'll get the cheaper one & the other lowers their price. Once you give her the power of making the decision, she's gonna shop -- that begins to save her money and squeezes waste out of the healthcare system."

You are right about one thing: it *is* outrageous that 40 million people rely on food stamps. How about directing your outrage and energy to bosses who don't pay living wages.

What good are laws/rules/regulations/norms if someone refuses to cooperate? The East Wing is destroyed; we can't bring it back.
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

This should be the shame of Trump's life and overshadow any good he may ever do.
The cuts amounted to $500 million in funds. Thousands of planned deliveries were canceled without warning in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.
