If you want to know what’s wrong with the world, Prime Video has an “abridged” version of It’s a Wonderful Life that removes THE ENTIRE POTTERSVILLE SCENE where George sees life if he wasn’t born.
That’s all that abridged. The best most crucial part of the movie. Just. Wow.
An attorney has asked the FDA to revoke the polio vaccine approval. He's now an adviser to HHS pick RFK Jr. Dr. Peter Hotez shares what would happen if there was no vaccine.
One group that still gets its government payments when there's a government shutdown is people on Social Security.

Got it?

1. Today the Federal Circuit rejected Teva's bid to list device patents for inhalers in the Orange Book.
Practically this means that drug makers can't list patents for things like inhaler caps to block generic rivals from the market & keep prices high.

DeLauro: They got scared. Because President Musk said don't do it. Don't do it. Shut the government down. Imagine. What does he know about what people go through when the government shuts down? Is he furloughed?

You are the fucking clown here. You have no idea what these people’s circumstances are. My friends six-year-old daughter has leukemia. If she catches anything, she will die. Go fuck yourself.
🚨 BREAKING: In a bold move, President Biden just came out in support of a ban on congressional stock trading:

WATCH: “MOSTLY TESLAS.”
Maddow gives context to why Elon will have Trump scrap a self-driving car crash reporting rule/study after spending $250,000,000+ to buy him the election — most of the accidents are Tesla-related, many deadly.
Social Security and Medicare are both managed by trust funds walled off from the rest of the federal budget. They contribute $0 to the deficit, $0 to the national debt.
They are earned benefits we paid for, just like health insurance or pensions.
What the GOP proposes is theft.
The beauty of the post office is that you can send legal documents between Key West, FL, and Wales, AK, for $10.45, door to door.
That same shipment would cost $46.25 using FedEx.
BREAKING: Senate Democrats just introduced a bill to abolish the Electoral College—taking a bold step toward restoring democracy by ensuring presidents are elected directly by the people, through the popular vote alone.
BREAKING: We showed @RepMTG campaign flyers from Donald Trump, pledging to protect Social Security and Medicare.
We asked her if the House DOGE Caucus would keep that pledge.
She tossed the flyers on the floor.
