None of the flunkies in Trump's Cabinet will dare tell him he's doing math wrong. This is what Mussolini would've acted like if he'd gotten a lobotomy.
Trump: "We're bringing down drug prices at a level that has never been thought of -- think of it, by 1,000% ... 1,400% in some cases"

This is an important moment, and we need to explain to the public why it's important.
An agency with the power to decide who gets to broadcast is supposed to be independent from the president so it won't abuse that power. If it's not, then we are letting the president seize the power to censor.

Needless to say, he weasels and doesn't answer the question.

We gave Jay Bhattacharya an opportunity to clarify his vaccine stance: does he REALLY believe that the vaccine is worse than the disease? Instead, he launched into a defense of MAHA as the future of scientific inquiry, and never really gave us a straight answer...
