Walmart hiked prices on its Great Value food brands.

The result? Its net income spiked 93% to $10.5 billion towards the end of 2023.

Walmart rewarded shareholders with $5.9 billion in buybacks and dividends.

When I say price gouging is driving inflation, this is what I mean.

Imagine not having to spend hours of your time or paying hundreds of dollars to file your taxes with @TurboTax or @HRBlock.

The Direct File pilot is a powerfully important first step in the right direction.

Harlan Crow and a few billionaires have provided Clarence Thomas with:

-38 destination vacations

-26 private jet flights

-6 helicopter flights

-Yacht voyages

And we're going to let Thomas rule on Moore v. US, which could permanently shield billionaires from a wealth tax?

🔴BREAKING:

Israel has given Al Awda Hospital just two hours to evacuate. Our staff are still treating patients.

We unequivocally condemn this action, the continued indiscriminate bloodshed and attacks on health care in Gaza.

We are trying to protect our staff and patients.

BREAKING: Israel has used white phosphorus in military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, putting civilians at risk of serious and long-term injuries.

White phosphorus causes excruciating burns and can set homes afire. Its use in populated areas is unlawful.

A new report from the Care Post Roe Study paints a bleak picture of OB-GYN care since the fall of Roe. Providers have seen:
⬆️Increased morbidity

❌An inability to give time-sensitive care
❌Worsened pregnancy complications

Anti-abortion politicians in North Carolina have overridden the governor’s veto, paving the way for a dangerous abortion ban to take effect this summer.

Not only will it decimate abortion access, but it could lead to burdensome restrictions on providers in the future.

In light of the draft of a leaked majority Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade, I want to call your attention to the people that would be impacted most by the end of legalized abortion across the United States. 🧵:

Sometimes, a single medical test opens the floodgates to a deluge of unnecessary care researchers have started to call “cascades of care.”

We explore the impact low-value care can have on patients and why these cascades are so hard to stop.
