By the way, we include the Biden Administration's historic success in taking on Big Pharma to lower drug prices through negotiations for the first time in Medicare's history as part of The Quiet New Deal. Which may explain why you haven't heard about it.

The media isn't interested in the biggest technology story of the 2020s, the rapid transition to clean energy, because 1) it will destroy a bunch of oil based wealth and is a boring, competirive low margin business 2) it makes Democrats look good for helping it and they want Republicans to win

WHERE DID TRUMP GET THE $10 MILLION?

Right before the 2016 election, Trump appeared to get a cash infusion from Egypt. Mueller looked into it. Barr shut down the investigation.

A new disclosure says the answer may be hidden in China, reports @emptywheel.bsky.social.

If you have watched this this episode of John Oliver’s show, it is well worth the watch. If it doesn’t scare you of what will happen if Trump wins the election, I don’t know what will. They have a plan and it could very well be the end of our democracy!

Nobody makes a better case for expanding the Court than Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett -- the only five justices in the Court’s history to have been confirmed by senators representing less than one-half of the US population.
