Pharmacy Benefit Managers add extra fees to our prescriptions so that their CEOs can build private golf courses.

Apple has removed an ICE tracking app that allows users to report ICE activity nearby from its App Store. The removal came after a direct demand from Trump’s DOJ. Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.
