Call me crazy, I just think if an influencer is highlighting federal legislation for insulin co-pay caps, they should point out that diabetics fall into insurance coverage gaps ALL. THE. TIME. And they die sometimes from rationing while they can’t access coverage.

We put the newsletter to bed just before news of the ICE shooting in Maine. I urged a focus on Epstein at Blanche's hearing. But I'd add that Blanche's DOJ has refused to investigate ICE shootings, and has tried to impede states and localities from doing so. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Trump approved disaster aid requests from six red states last week. Two days later, he rejected aid requests from four blue states. Not only is he punishing states who didn’t vote for him, he’s playing politics with people’s lives. Despicable.

A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas and home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is: In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.
