This clip from More Perfect Union tells us about a 32-year Pharma rep named Lisa Pratta who spills the beans on some of the ways people in her business comped doctors...if you can imagine it, then it was probably used as an incentive to get the drugs in circulation; this clip discusses the pressure to over-prescribe Acthar made by Questcor for MS patients...as is often the case, Questcor was bought up in a merger, this time with a company called Mallinckrodt, which subsequently paid $15 million to make claims of wrongdoing against Questcor go away...just keep telling yourself that this country has the greatest health care system in the world...sure we do...
...and Robert Reich revisits the question of “Should America Be Run Like A Business?” (presumably the government of course, to which the correct answer is “Hell freaking no!”)...and as Reich points out, that’s code language anyway for privatizing the hell out of everything so only those with the most dough can benefit, which basically is the story of this country over the last 40 years or so...”the purpose of government is not to show a profit” indeed...
...and John Iadarola of The Damage Report tells us that Trumpist numbskull Sean Duffy recently said that states that don’t let ICE goons in to seize people illegally won’t get infrastructure funding, a move that no doubt is illegal as hell and will be ruled as such by a court (with Elex Michaelson)...
...and David Doel brings us the story of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the Dem NYC mayoral primary...and of course, it tells you what kind of an inside-out world Fix Noise inhabits where they put up that pic saying, among other things, that Mamdani will combat ICE...and their audience is supposed to think that’s a BAD thing? And yeah, that graphic showing the amount of dough that the DNC centrist establishment basically set on fire for Andrew Cuomo is an eye-opener all right (and kudos to David Hogg for playing his part in this)...and yes, Mamdani bringing out new voters is HUUUUGE! And yeah, kind of a ballsy comment about Cuomo from Brad Lander IMO, though not undeserved, and kudos to Lander for helping Mamdani...not sure it really does any good to resurrect what happened with India Walton, but whatever (NSFW/H)...
...and Seth Meyers brings us “A Closer Look” on Our Ochre Abomination dropping an “F” bomb when Israel and Iran break a ceasefire...and oh yeah, Combover Caligula thinks he should get the Nobel Peace Prize; only someone with the gnat-on-meth brain of Our Treasonous Orange Pustule could bomb another country and then somehow claim that he’s a “peacemaker” (although, to be fair, I give you this)...
...and I know I'm definitely overdue for a new tune - I hope this will suffice.
