When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

“Love Letters,” Received Forty Years Too Late
Amy Holden Jones’s 1983 melodrama should have established her as a major Hollywood director, but, as a female filmmaker, she faced rejection.

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125. The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN. This is trickle down economics on steroids.

Fired Department of Labor IG Larry Turner found $191B in improper COVID unemployment payments, much of it fraud, and was hunting down $135B more when he was fired. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The DOL Office of the Inspector General (“DOL OIG”) does critical work related to
unemployment insurance fraud. To take just one example, during the pandemic, federal
and state governments distributed over $888 billion in unemployment benefits to support
Americans in crisis. However, my office uncovered that an estimated $191 billion in
pandemic unemployment benefits may have been improperly paid—with a substantial
portion of that money attributable to fraud.5. A week before my purported termination at DOL IG, the Wall Street Journal ran an article
commending my team and me on the great work we were combatting unemployment
insurance fraud. It also mentioned the need to extend the statute of limitations. The article
highlighted a U.S. Government Accountability Office report, estimating that $135 billion
in funds had been stolen from the unemployment insurance program in a two-year span.
Time is Running Out to Recover Up to $135 Billion in Pilfered Jobless Benefits, Wall St.

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it. This is the precedent.

This story, inspired by another doctor who also gave chemo to healthy patients, was our season one arc on #TheResident. I was told by other oncologists at the time that more doctors were doing this as well. Why? If an oncologist infuses the chemo, it pays big time.
