I sat down with the @oregon_pharm to talk about prescription drug pricing and the challenges they’ve been facing. I will keep fighting for a healthcare system that lowers the cost of prescription drugs and improves the quality of life for all Oregonians.

(1/4) For the first time since 1948, the US was absent from the annual World Health assembly in Geneva, Switzerland. The World Health Organization voted on policies to shape global health for years to come. While we sat out, here's what was covered at the 78th assembly. #WHA78 #GlobalHealth

Dan Bongino has a nice cry on Fox & Friends: "I gave up everything for this. I mean, my wife is struggling... I stare at these 4 walls all day in DC, you know, by myself, divorced from my wife. Not divorced, but I mean, separated. And it's hard." (Note that Brian Kilmeade has to encourage him lol)

It's a US poll - but I suspect the figures align roughly with opinion in UK. Figure like Tate might have a pernicious influence on a small percentage of young men but many more think he's a weirdo misogynist walnut in a condom.

In what could be a major breakthrough, the Trump administration told a federal court that it's taken affirmative steps to retrieve an unlawfully deported Guatemalan man and return him to the U.S. so that he can receive the due process he was initially denied. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Canada welcomes the U.S. Court of International Trade’s decision on the United States’ tariffs. It confirmed what we’ve always held: that the American tariffs against Canadian goods are unlawful and unjustified.

If the president claims his businesses are competitors of the media outlets he undermines, the press should take him at his word — and sue.

New: Starting in September, every public school classroom in Texas could be required to display the Ten Commandments under a requirement that passed the state legislature Wednesday. The bill now goes to Gov. Greg Abbott, who is expected to sign it.

"Let cash registers ring!"

This @Politico.com piece includes the administration’s allegations of “activist judges” but never mentions that one judge on the panel was appointed by Reagan, one was appointed by Trump, himself — or that USCIT is the DOJ’s favored venue. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

In boycotting America this Canadian has found that our country needs to step up on our farming and greenhouses. Searched all over Calgary for Canadian apples only to trust the sign at the market and buy a bag of "Canadian" apples, that i found a USA sticker on one. Now to boycott Chongo's

“Canadians are largely happy with what they are seeing from newly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney". Polling Canada. Poilievre on the other hand..... I don't see him lasting for long. The CPC has got to dump him if they hope to rebuild. #cdnpoli cultmtl.com/2025/05/pier...

President Trump has now pardoned 9 members of Congress convicted of crimes

This is Rep. Duke Cunningham’s bribe menu—the left column is millions of dollars in contracts, the right is the incremental thousands of dollars in bribes. So to get $18M in federal contracts, you’d need to give him a boat, plus $100k. Trump just pardoned him.

NEW: Illinois legislators passed a law to explicitly prevent police from ticketing and fining students for minor misbehavior at school, ending a practice that harmed students across the state. By @jodiscohen.bsky.social & @jsmithrichards.bsky.social

Natalie Phelps, a mother of two with stage 4 cancer, can’t start life-saving treatment because of NIH staff cuts orchestrated by Russell Vought and the Trump admin. She was supposed to get a cutting-edge immunotherapy trial that uses her own cells to fight cancer—but now she’s facing deadly delays.

lol

First we had ETTD Now we have TACO Yes, I’m chronically online.

Giorgi Bachiashvili, whom Ivanishvili considers a very personal enemy, was kidnapped and brought to 🇬🇪 where nobody knows what they'll do to him in prison. Georgian Airways, a regime enabled business, took part in it. Are there laws prohibiting airlines from kidnapping people?

So, like most of this administration’s documents, this was also written by ChatGPT?

She is an American citizen, the daughter of a U.S. Navy service member from Illinois, who was stationed in the Philippines during the Vietnam War. This is fascism, plain and simple.

If @LeoMartinez4VA is elected in VA11, he'll have gone from being an opposition deputy in the National Assembly of Venezuela to the US House. Would that be the first? bluevirginia.us/2025/05/two-...

Liar, liar, pants on fire!

Thank you 🙏 @adamsank.bsky.social

North Carolina is making great progress toward our clean energy economy, but we’ve still got work to do. It was an honor to speak at the annual Emerging Issues Forum this morning. Together we can build a safer, stronger, cleaner and more resilient North Carolina.

"It is basically 100 percent civilian casualties" - Please listen to my interview with Feroze Sidhwa, a trauma surgeon who was recently in Gaza. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERiN...

I introduced my bill to allow state and local governments to impose a sales tax on purchases at gift shops on federal property.   This would be an important revenue source for DC, which hosts a number of gift shops on federal property and millions of visitors annually.

“I voted for Donald Trump, and so did practically everyone here,” said Vanessa Cowart, a friend of Ms. Hui from church. “But no one voted to deport moms. We were all under the impression we were just getting rid of the gangs, the people who came here in droves.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/u...

🔥 More from Avangard plant in St. Petersburg

We've been calling for Congress to do its job and conduct oversight of the corruption stemming from Donald Trump's business interests, including his dinner for top investors in his meme coin. Good for Congressman Raskin for investigating, as well as those Senators who called for a list of attendees.

NEW: The US government has collected DNA samples from 133,000+ migrant children and teenagers and uploaded them into CODIS, a national criminal database originally built for convicted sex offenders and violent criminals, according to documents reviewed by WIRED.

* US JUDGE SAYS SHE PLANS TO ISSUE INJUNCTION BLOCKING TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FROM IMMEDIATELY REVOKING HARVARD'S ABILITY TO ENROLL FOREIGN STUDENTS @reuters.com

Good news.

I think the Great British public would find it a lot easier to relax and have more children if we didn't see endless pictures, bullshit promises and stories about Nigel Farage and Reform UK everywhere. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Nearly 70 years since the Sovereign first opened Parliament, we welcomed Their Majesties back to Canada — a nation proud of its roots and with a bold, ambitious plan for its future.

This home didn’t just get lucky—it was ready. When a vegetation fire ignited Monday night in Sonoma County, it was the combination of swift, coordinated action by @calfirelnu.bsky.social and NoSoCoFire and smart, proactive preparation by homeowners that made the difference.

Vietnam is the Paul Weiss of countries.

Dan Rather is spot on. I've felt this way since he came down the escalator and it's only gotten worse over the last ten years.

“Seventy-eight percent of ocean microplastics are synthetic tire rubber, according to a report by the Pew Charitable Trust.” From the article below (a complement to the one the quoted text is about, not the same piece)
