This is insane.

Pfizer is planning to charge nearly $1,400 for its COVID antiviral treatment Paxlovid.

It only costs $13.38 to make.

That‘s a 10,389% markup!

The company has already profited $18 BILLION from the drug.

Shame @pfizer into changing course.

The world has forgotten Russia's war in Ukraine before. Ukrainians remember — and will not let it happen again.

I wrote for @FT about how Ukrainians are fearful of losing support and being forgotten again as the global gaze shifts to the Israel-Hamas war.

Each year, lawmakers and defense lobbyists play the same game, pouring hundreds of billions into the Pentagon without scrutinizing every dollar—and it's taxpayers who lose.

Today, I invited witnesses to play JeoparDoD, to win oversight for the American people.

Another big loss for Ukraine - combat medic Natalia Depa from Lviv was killed on the frontline. She volunteered to join the armed forces on the first days of the big war. Rest in glory, thanks for our freedom, the warrior of light

Ukraine held on, beyond all expectations and hopes. And now we are seeing the concrete beginning of the end of Putin. This war was also going be his undoing. Russia will be weaker… more dangerous for sometime, but weaker. And the world safer. We owe Ukraine a debt of gratitude.

For the first time, Wagner affiliated Telegram channels are criticising Putin for ‘making the wrong choice.’ They say ‘Soon we will have a new President’.
