NEW: Merck is charging $200,000 for the life-saving cancer drug Keytruda.

They’re making a fortune off it. But it was developed using tax-payer dollars.

That means the federal government has the little-known power to lower the price by taking Merck’s patent and giving it away.

I feel like I'm getting to the other side of COVID, but I'm obviously still sick. I FEEL like I have energy....so I started to fold/put away laundry..once I was done it felt like I had ran a marathon. Lol :( #covid

I feel awful that hubbs has to care for all 3 of us. (Hes doing a great job with no complaints though) Son is definitely feeling fine, but still had a + test yesterday, so he's still isolating.

We'll get there!!

A whole advent calendar of punishment.

Trying to figure out who owns this website, where their funding is coming from etc,.. stuck at work right now but it appears to be another malicious right wing misinformation website?

Trying to find any relevant information because this is making the rounds in my area.

“They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” the former president said. “They’ve poisoned mental institutions and prisons all over the world. Not just in South America, not just the three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world they’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia.”

From Germany.

Trump’s grandfather was an immigrant who left Germany to avoid (checks notes) compulsory military service.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Trump is a VICTIM… because he broke the law?

That is the DUMBEST take from a lawyer who still has a license.

“He’s getting a lot of voters that he normally wouldn’t get because they’re seeing this and he is the victim of all of a sudden they’ve made him a victim of complete and utter election interference and lawfare” said Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba.

He isn’t a victim. He is a rapist and has 91 counts against him for BREAKING THE LAW.

He doesn’t believe the law applies to him because he is a privileged white male rapist who has gotten away with a lot… up till now.

We. Are. Tired. Of. It.

And when he loses he will sue you because that is the kind of vindictive man he is.

And then he will turn on you and tell people things about you that you thought were private.

He is not your client no matter what you think — he is poison to you and your career.

Trump must have been talking about Melania, Ivana, Ted Cruz, Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch, & Peter Thiel when he said immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country.

“ Detroit is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1966, Asher found, while Baltimore and St Louis are on track to post the fewest murders in each city in nearly a decade. A few cities, including Memphis and Washington DC, are still seeing increases in their murder rates, but they are outliers.”

You know who wants to paint the US as being full of crime? The “law and order” party that wants to nominate a rapist as President — the Republican Party.

They can’t win if they acknowledge reality.

The MAGA cult can’t be reasoned with, they can’t be bargained, and they can’t be deprogrammed.

They must voted into irrelevance.

They are an impediment to progress.

We will build a better future for all Americans, including them, in spite of them.

Uuuuuggghhhh. Parents are upset that I haven't scrubbed the pot and pan that I used for dinner yet. They came home and I get a "you didn't put dinner away".

Correction: I made food for me and the very elderly semi blind dog, I put the food away, I went to the store to grab soda, I took a shower, I pottied the very elderly semi blind dog several times, and I charted. I'm sorry, excuse me for not scrubbing the pot and pan...

“One might wonder why Musk would want Ivermectin, originally used as a veterinary drug to fight parasites, in bulk for his companies, especially since Covid is now more under control.”

1) Ivermectin is an antiparasitic — it does nothing to prevent COVID

2) COVID is only “under control” (😬😱🤦🏻‍♀️) because people like me get vaccinated.

Activision Blizzard to pay more than $54 million in gender discrimination settlement

https://calcivilrights.ca.gov/2023/12/15/civil-rights-department-announces-settlement-agreement-to-resolve-employment-discrimination-and-equal-pay-lawsuit-against-activision-blizzard/

The lawsuit led to Microsoft's takeover of the video game giant.

However, as Engadget and MarketWatch point out, as part of the settlement, the CRD will withdraw its allegations of widespread sexual harassment at the company.

Been wondering what's the future of these little Trump lap dogs in the Republican party? Their whole schtick is defending Trump, making excuses for Trump, sucking up to Trump, threatening anyone who dares to question Trump or who doesn't kiss Trump's ass enough.

What are they going to do when he falls off the perch? Will they actually get back to doing some real work? How long will they ride his coattails after he's gone? Will they transfer their affections to Junior? 🤨

Good afternoon, I lost this morning to a migraine and am only now starting to feel normal.
