Cost for one vial of insulin in 1996: $21
Cost for the same vial of insulin in 2018: $320

Today, we remember him and redouble our efforts to demand justice for Black lives.
So members can try to bring firearms to the House floor and support an insurrection and NOT get arrested. However, the Chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, @JoyceBeatty, gets arrested for standing up for democracy. I see.
Tell ‘em loud and proud girl! GOP will strip your unemployment protections and dismantle any semblance of a public safety net we have left! Then make working people pay way more for everything on low wages while Wall St gets a meal ticket!
