It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin. Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed. Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them. And on a network that has been *beside itself* over the murder of just one man this week.

So they haven’t caught the guy and you don’t have a ton of leads? Maybe sending all your federal law enforcement agents to help ICE and dismantling the JTTF and firing the head FBI field office for political reasons wasn’t the best idea.

The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it. - Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders. - Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

Democrat, Sam Sutton wins special election for NY State Senate in an Orthodox Jewish district of Brooklyn where Trump won 77% of the vote. The person who held the seat previously was a conservative Democrat who caucased with the GOP. Republicans hoped to retain the seat, but Sutton won 67%.

It’s rather obvious that one of the most fundamental things that could be done to improve things in the USA is to substantially increase the minimum wage. To $26+/hr, and then annually adjust it for inflation & productivity. (= buying power of the min wage in 1968). Not the *only* thing, but...

If Idaho succeeds in mandating that the 10 Commandments are posted in every classroom, what is the educational outcome that they are looking for? Here's a study guide. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Teaching the 10 Commandments

So, there’s a bill before the Idaho legislature that would require that the Ten Commandments be posted conspicuously in all classrooms.
