RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'"

Trump: "Right"

Bond investors don't seek political power, but in a country spending £300 million a day, they have it anyway.
For this week's @NewStatesman I've been speaking to the "bond vigilantes" about how markets and politics are enmeshed
- and what they really think of Reeves & Starmer

@willydunn To be fair saying 'he didn't have permission to film' implies but doesn't actually say 'he wasn't allowed to film', since we are allowed to film without permission. As for why they said it, maybe they were asked directly whether he had been given permission

Incredibly bad (changes to N.S.F. funding for math):

MAGA is making the claim that if you watch the entire 50 minute video, Zelensky is the antagonist.

This isn't true. At all. I was with Zelensky before this meeting and it's important to know his mindset heading in.

The standard advice about what to do if you're having trouble getting a passport is to contact your congressperson's constituent services. But constituent services are overwhelmed and many of the trans people I've talked to who have been denied passports couldn't reach them.

1/ Let me explain why the total destruction of USAID - happening as we speak - matters so much.

China - where Musk makes his money - wants USAID destroyed. So does Russia. Trump and Musk are doing the bidding of Beijing and Moscow. Why?

I am the author of this OpEd, which was given a misleading title and from which key lines were cut—lines that made very clear that RFK Jr is dangerously ignorant, has absolutely no business near HHS, and is effectively a mass murderer in waiting.

RFK's answers to Sen. Cassidy's questions about Medicaid basics underscored a lack of familiarity with the program.

He described it as a fully federally funded program. The costs are actually split between states and the feds. (1/2)

I want to try to explain in simple terms the context of this paper and what it is roughly about.

This piece could be summed up, “the government lied to the people for decades in order to keep a losing war going.”

Just astounding stuff. Zero accountability. https://t.co/rxdgNCmkpt

Over 11 years, Anna Lazos spent $3,000 banking her son's cord blood.

When she finally tried to use it — her one shot at a promising clinical trial — she learned it was contaminated with E. Coli.

Exclusive report: a series of errors by HMRC let Paul Baxendale-Walker, probably the UK's most notorious tax avoidance scheme promoter, escape a £14m penalty

He's threatening to prosecute me for harassment, sue me for libel *and* sue me for £500,000 if I report this. Here goes:

Fascinating to see the breakdown of votes on the big new bipartisan nuclear bill, which just passed the Senate, 88-2, and is now headed to Biden’s desk.

Only Bernie Sanders and Ed Markey voted against.
