Talarico on how his diabetes diagnosis moved him to tackle Big Pharma: "When I got elected to the State House, I brought Democrats and Republicans together to pass the first-ever cap on insulin copays in our state's history. We took it from $684 to $25 per prescription."

This is so dangerous. Trump never believed in the Constitution, that was only an act while he was running for president. If there isn’t an URGENT check on his powers, we are cooked. And every sitting representative and senator, or anyone running for office, needs to be prepared to take this on.
