Republicans just struck down the $35 insulin cap in The Inflation Reduction Act. Democrats needed 10 Republican votes, but only got 7. Just another example of the Pro Life party not really being Pro Life.

I started a list of horribles about the ways a malicious Congress could derail DOJ’s work, but decided not to roadmap it. If the House flips, expect unprecedentedly destructive behavior. I hope people in DOJ & FBI are thinking about it – because Biggs and others clearly are.

This is horrible, horrifying, and evil. Latter-day Saints everywhere should be horrified by this. & the must change. These policies are unconscionable and evil, and not of God, & those performing & upholding these are guilty, also.
