PhRMA, AKA the industry lobby that runs those ads in the NYT showing smiling patients and talking about how wonderful the world's pharmaceutical companies are, while fighting tooth-and-nail against Medicare price negotiations that would benefit seniors and the most vulnerable populations. This is one of those associations where if they're for something, you should be against it, and vice versa.
Incredibly sad to see Alice Cooper using rote, boring anti-trans talking points, especially the old canard of 'any man can walk into a woman's restroom by saying he feels like a woman today,' which is something I've seen online more times than I can count and even heard in person from a few folks almost word-for-word. Don't be a parrot, Vincent.

This so-called man is the public face of narcissistic personality disorder. My favorite part of the embedded interview is when he described himself as "stoic" without a trace of irony.
Whether he retires, switches to the Republican Party, dies, or serves until 2050 as a Democrat, Joe Manchin is the last Democratic senator from West Virginia for the rest of our lifetimes.
Yeah, all the cheerleading for Manchin to get out is unbelievably shortsighted. As soon as people get their wish, we lose control of the Senate and Mitch "30 second pause" McConnell runs it again. That's what people want?
The relationship has been dwindling for a while. I’m pretty sure she had an affair with her old assistant, Hunter. Last night we threw a dinner party for our coworkers and we basically fought the whole time. It ended in her throwing a Dundee at my tv. We broke up after this. AITA?
