Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion. It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make. (Published May 2025)

The confirmation of Emil Bove to the 3rd Circuit is a direct assault on the integrity of our justice system. A former Trump lawyer, Bove ordered a 15-year DOJ veteran to lie to a federal judge — then helped fire him for refusing. Now he’s a judge. Corruption in action.

I’ve seen this reposted into my feed a few times, and it’s fake. The reason I highlight it is to point out that *everyone* should be able to tell on sight that it’s wrong— there’s no story link, the poster has gone to some lengths to obscure the source of the false headline (ifunny.co I think), etc.
