Drug companies have hired over 500 lobbyists this year to gut the Inflation Reduction Act's drug price negotiation provisions.
They outnumber public interest advocates more than 20 to 1.
We must get money out of politics and end Big Pharma's deadly greed once and for all.
Since Governor Newsom expanded the deployment of the California Highway Patrol in key regions throughout the state in late August, the additional enforcement has led to the seizure of nearly 2,000 pounds — or 1 ton — of illegal drugs.

Since I expanded California Highway Patrol deployments in late August, officers have:
☑️ Seized 1 ton of illegal drugs

☑️ Recovered 216 stolen vehicles
☑️ Removed 54 illegal firearms
Public safety is improving and California is moving forward.
Whistles are one of the most accessible tools in resisting ICE.
Here’s how to use them:
NEW: The leaders of an Old Apostolic Lutheran Church community in Minnesota enabled a child abuser by pressuring his victims to forgive and forget his sins — so that they could never speak of them again.

Slotkin: I’m not going to be dissuaded from standing up for the Constitution just because he threatens us. I’m not going to let him intimidate us out of speaking our minds.
“Survival of the fittest”
is often used to justify capitalist society, but this wasn’t a phrase that Darwin used.
He described it as “better designed for an immediate, local environment" and wrote of groups that survived through empathy and sharing rather than greed.
We must change
Or die
The Nuremberg trials were held by the Allies against leaders of defeated Nazi Germany for invading other countries & committing atrocities of the worst kind.
Some tried to defend themselves saying they were following orders. That defense was not accepted. They were found guilty & most were executed
It’s good to explain that the CDC is lying and vaccines still unequivocally do not cause autism, even if it just reaches one person on here who has doubts. But the fight is out there, not in here; and the time to let go of the information deficit model of science communication was decades ago
The Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols.
This action, coupled with the President's call to hang Democratic members of Congress - both in the past few hrs - are more than "potentially divisive."
They are vile, unconscionable, and dangerous.
QUIET, PIGGY" This is Catherine Lucey - the reporter Trump snapped "quiet, quiet, piggy" at when she asked about the Epstein files. Stop treating a president's verbal abuse of reporters, especially women, as normal behavior just because he's afraid of a question
Not letting this one go
✌️👏💙
They said “science fair-style” and we took it seriously.
See you at the Chicago Waldorf School for the 40th Ward Dems candidate fair! ☺️
Crow: "It just tells us everything that we need to know that reminding people to obey the law, reminding people to obey the Constitution, is somehow criminal in Trumpworld and should be responded to with death threats. It's very, very telling."
We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.
The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.
Don’t give up the ship.
I’m not glad Charlie was killed but my goodness the transparent abuse of his death for political capital is getting a bit malignant
Still haven’t linked Kirk’s shooter to “radical leftists” but again all MAGA has is to project that the left is violent🙄maybe go ask MTG🤔

Yes, what a liar
When Lauren refers to Jeffrey Epstein's "entanglements in the Democrat [sic] party," I assume she is talking about that time in 2003 when a Democrat gave Epstein a highly incriminating birthday card. The giver was Donald J. Trump, a Democrat at the time.
Jamal Khashoggi was a US resident, a journalist & critic of the extremist policies of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. To silence him, bin Salman organized his murder & dismembering with a bone saw.
The lavish welcome of this murderer to our WH is disgusting
This is the reporter that Donald Trump called "Piggy." She is Catherine Lucey, currently with Bloomberg.
I don't think it is a coincidence that, back in 2018, Lucey was the first reporter to ask Trump about Stormy Daniels. Trump responded with a lie, but, clearly, did not forget the question.
"Just like family separation, I think we're starting to see people take to the street in really vocal opposition in a way President Trump has shown before that he will ultimately back down" -- interesting report from Jacob Soboroff on how Charlotte is organizing against ICE
Thoughts with Jamal Khashoggi, his family and all who loved him
Clay Higgins is a disgusting thug
Police found Epstein had a framed photo of Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, colloquially known as MBS, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia showing prominently in his New York Mansion. #OpDeathEaters
Police find expired passport with Jeffrey #Epstein's photo, different name, residence in Saudi Arabia inside safe full of diamonds and cash. #OpDeathEaters
Trump and MBS at the Imperial Hotel in Osaka on June 28, 2019. Trump calls the Saudi crown prince "a close friend of mine" and says it's an "honor" to be with him. #Epstein #OpDeathEaters
Reminder that Trump’s guest at the White House the Saudi prince MBS is not only involved in the murder of a US journalist but he is also part of the Jeffrey Epstein Network.
“A portion of the FBI’s New Orleans field office has been designated as a command post, while a naval base five miles south of the city will store vehicles, equipment and thousands of pounds of ‘less lethal’ munitions.”
Our cities are becoming training grounds for the Trump regime’s paramilitary.
Yay! A federal judge has again halted Trump’s attempt to shut down Voice of America. Judge Paul L. Friedman blocked Trump’s August order canceling the union’s collective-bargaining agreements.
Why President Trump’s Embrace of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Matters open.substack.com/pub/steadyst... [Trump]dismissed that killing as something that “upset some people” and shrugged that “things happen.” That is not the language of a democratic leader. It is the language of a mob boss.”
