I’m delighted that the FTC, under Lina Khan, is taking action against the bogus patents Novo Nordisk filed to keep the outrageous price of Ozempic artificially high.

Novo cannot continue to charge Americans $969 for Ozempic when it costs just $155 in Canada and $59 in Germany.

“You can be the most worthless Republican in America. But if you kiss the ring, he’ll say you’re wonderful.' -- DeSantis on Trump in January.

Trump today, after their meeting:
'Also discussed was the future of Florida, which is FANTASTIC! I greatly appreciate Ron’s support'

Each year, as many as 100,000 Americans die from air pollution.

It is not a radical idea to suggest that clean air should be the right of all Americans, regardless of their income.

President Biden’s message to the press: The defeated former president has made no secret of his attack on our democracy. He said he wants to be a dictator on day one, promised a ‘bloodbath’ when he loses again, and so much more. Eight years ago, you could have written it off as

Today seems like a good day to remind everyone that Donald Trump has gone on record with plans to steal our earned Social Security and Medicare benefits.

United Healthcare made obscene profits in 2023, just like they do every year. What did they do with that money?

Raise copays for us & give their already-wealthy shareholders more than $14 billion.

There is no freedom without economic security. And yet, Republicans are working to defund and destroy Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

We are not going to abandon our seniors. Every American has a right to a secure retirement.

Jake Tapper had FTC Chair Lina Khan on to talk about the noncompete ban, and had to ask if his own noncompete was no longer valid.

Khan says that when the ban takes effect, not only will new noncompetes be banned, but clauses like his will be rendered null and void.

For decades, the U.S. has fought for Big Pharma’s interests all around the world.

Until now.

I welcome USTR Ambassador Tai's announcement that the U.S. will not bully countries that stand up to Big Pharma.

We must work together to end the greed of the pharmaceutical industry.

This is a reminder that the Trump Federal Trade Commission refused to put forward a rule prohibiting products made in China from being labeled as Made in USA.

If you want Trump's Tough on China policy vote for Biden.

Poll after poll shows that the American people do not want to give more military aid to the extreme Netanyahu government to continue its war in Gaza.

No one should be shocked that Congress has a 14% approval rating.

I am 100% convinced at this point Kristi Noem doesn’t want to be Trump’s running mate, but doesn’t want to offend him by turning it down, and is pulling a Producers instead theguardian.com/books/2024/apr…

1) I eat my hat on Buttigieg, who I thought of as a McKinsey operator. He's doing really great work.
2) McGee is a hero to hundreds of thousands of fliers who will never know his name. What a difference a committed advocate makes!
