It’s scary how many people would agree with the orange one.
RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
RFK Jr.'s example misstates percentage changes. From $100 to $600 is a 500% increase ((600-100)/100 × 100). From $600 to $100 is an 83.3% decrease ((100-600)/600 × 100). A 600% decrease from $600 would reach a negative price. newsweek.com/rfk-jr-trump-d… cnn.com/2025/09/23/pol… calculatorsoup.com/calculators/al…

Thugs.
ICE deploy tear gas on crowded public street—because they were upset being stuck in Chicago traffic. A 2-year-old child required medical care after inhaling the chemical agents—adults were vomiting on the sidewalk. Local elementary school was forced to lock down for recess due to the presence of agents. People in nearby cars reported that the tear gas caused their ears, nose, and mouth to run—after chemicals seeped into vehicles despite windows rolled up. The incident occurred close to Funston Elementary School in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. #DemsUnited

Trump says he’s respected around the world. The reality is he is regarded as the global village idiot. I can’t think of a better way to describe his global reputation. He’s not even a politician, really. He’s just a bloke who’s filling his boots with bribes and strip mining America to the benefit of his uber rich buddies. Malcolm Turnbull hits the nail on the head. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNdX4CNW9/

It seems a bit shady..
July 1987, Moscow, USSR — Trump, 41 years old, flies to Moscow at the invitation of Soviet Ambassador to the U.S., Yuri Dubinin. Upon returning from Moscow, the bankrupt Trump suddenly receives loans from 16 banks and, without negotiation. 1/n

So let’s get this straight—a sitting Republican congressman, Cory Mills, allegedly beats up his mistress in a luxury penthouse, police show up, see fresh bruises, and even hear him telling her to lie about it. They decide to arrest him. But then—poof!—the case gets downgraded, the arrest never happens, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office (stacked with Trump appointees) conveniently refuses to sign the warrant. The game is rigged, folks. If this were anyone else—especially a Democrat or an average citizen—they’d be in cuffs before they could blink. But a Republican congressman? Suddenly, it’s “let’s investigate further.” Funny how the law only seems to apply when it’s politically convenient. Meanwhile, the same party screaming about “law and order” is running interference for their own criminals. Mills should be sitting in a jail cell, not Congress. But when you’ve got the right connections, the law bends in your favor. Hell of a democracy we’ve got here.

Elon and Vivek are saying native born Americans are not good enough or smart enough to hire for tech companies, and Donald Trump is silent. Because he agrees with them. MAGA was never about America first.
