You're paying more for the same prescription than someone in Canada pays. That price gap isn't an accident -it's a choice drug co made because no law stops them. Brown's plan would make it illegal to charge you more than customers abroad.

Newsom: "He's not screwing around. He wasn't screwing around when he called Greg Abbott for 5 seats, said he was entitled to 5 seats. Why does he do that? Because he knows he's going to lose the election unless he rigs the election before one vote is cast. That is what we're up against."

USDA recalled 29,628 pounds of Argentine beef after it bypassed the required U.S. import reinspection. That safeguard exists for a reason. Expanding beef imports only works when every shipment meets our standards, not when regulators discover the failure after distribution.

“Since the official version usually arrives first—and carries the authority of the state—later evidence often has to dislodge a story already lodged in the public mind.”
The law enforcement bullets that killed Renee Good, Kohen Wiley, and John Albers entered from the side. Why did the official accounts say the cars were driving straight at officers?
Narrative Vehicles
Renee Good's ICE shooting was filmed by bystanders. Most shootings into allegedly "weaponized vehicles" produce no competing footage at all.

A Trump linked Oil firm has showed up in Greenland with all of their equipment to try & drill for Oil without any approval. They thought that they were so far away from people that they may not be seen, but they were. Does Trump seriously think he’s going to steal their oil too? /suzierizzo1
