This will help you understand why the big PBMs are bad. You can go to https://t.co/jkoJoin92G and buy a GLP1 for under $500 and falling. It's cheaper, because no PBM is involved Your company, uses a big PBM for your pharmacy benefits. It charges your company $1300 for a

@mcuban @mcuban - Can you explain the significance of this for the layman and, more importantly, how this will benefit everyday Americans? Why do you think Lilly switched? And what will it take to have more Pharma cos switch to a move transparent provider? Thank you!

It will shock you to learn that the people who talked for years about Hunter Biden have nothing to say about the rampant self-dealing of the Trump sons, Jared Kushner, and of course Trump himself—which is at a scale so incomprehensible and brazen it apparently warrants no notice.

The Pentagon somehow determined that the best supplier available for drone parts just happened to be the one that had one of President's sons on its board -- government-wide graft going on.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education. A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

This year, Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill gave: Google an $18 billion tax break. Amazon a $16 billion tax break. Microsoft a $12 billion tax break. Facebook an $11 billion tax break. Now, they’re writing checks to Trump for his $300 million ballroom. Gee, I wonder why?

He is speaking to the military here. If it was any other president, it would be a national scandal that rocked his administration and party. But for some reason, many Dems and much of the ‘liberal media’ keep giving him a pass.

The avg young person today is on course to spend 25 years of their life on their phone. (Plus more on other screens). Most of them don't want to live this way, but feel trapped. How about we delay giving smartphones and tablets till at least 14? https://t.co/aJMaAxcMrD

When schools go truly phone free--collected and stored away for the day--the results are transformative. When phones are only prohibited during class time, they are still very disruptive DURING class. Give kids and teachers a break.

This is one of the great graphics of education policy, and is worthy of deep study. Phones are a scourge, and if you're running a school that allows them *in any way* you are increasing the chances of disruption massively. Control the controllables. @TeacherTapp

In just the week before Trump took power, CFPB: - ordered Equifax to pay $15M - ordered a major auto lender to return $10M to customers - ordered CashApp to refund $120M to customers - sued Capital One for cheating people out of interest payments This week it's closed.

NEW: CFPB employees were just abruptly informed that the watchdog agency's DC headquarters will be closed this week. The email, obtained by @CNN, did not explain a reason for the sudden closure. This comes days after Elon Musk tweeted out: “CFPB RIP” with a tombstone emoji.

This short clip from @NewsHour is a great example of something you'd never see on Fox News. Trump's plans to slap tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China caused the stock market to take a dive last Friday. Fox News would never tell its viewers this basic truth.

It’s happening in front of our eyes. The richest men in the country - unelected and unaccountable - are seizing control of the government to steal from us to enrich themselves. To cut Medicare and elementary school funding and use that money to pad their pockets.

They need to raise the debt ceiling to pass their massive tax cut for the super wealthy. So the message is: we will only rebuild California if our billionaire and corporate friends get their money. Unreal.

The Smokehouse Creek Fire in Texas burned over 1M acres in 2024 under corrupt racist sadist Greg Abbott. It’s the largest wildfire in Texas history and burned across several counties. MAGA never blamed him or called for him to resign. Yet they are blaming Governor Newsom? STFU.
