“Mr. Nadler has been sharply critical of Hamas, still believes in a two-state solution for the region and does not agree with those who say Israel is carrying out genocide in Gaza. But he said [that under Netanyahu] Israel was committing mass murder and war crimes in Gaza ‘without question.’”

Crime is literally lower than it has been in the entire life of every single non-senior-citizen American. If you are under age 65 you have never lived at a time with lower property crime rates, lower violent crime rates or lower homicide rates. Never.

This ‘blue states closed schools too long’ narrative is becoming increasingly entrenched in the Polite Center but it’s arguable at best. Republican states had far more deaths during COVID and their students have roughly comparable learning loss.

No interest in starting a fight with this random person but big pharma absolutely does not support Trump, in fact he is seriously screwing them over in multiple ways along with most of corporate America

It's not hyperbolic to say that the alt med/ wellness industry has been instrumental in the rise of fascism. And Big Pharma has profited from it greatly, which is one reason the industry is supporting Trump.
