Progressives denounce FBI attacks by right wing but push for agency reforms

"If Republicans really care about FBI overreach of civil liberties, then they will get serious about the real reforms," Representative Cori Bush, a Democrat from Missouri, said. "But that's not really what they're pushing right now. Instead, they're still amplifying those conspiracy theories and trying to distract the public, to gaslight the country and distract us from Trump's criminality."

Following Successful Public Pressure Campaign to Lower the Cost of Eli Lilly’s Insulin, Sanders and Bush Introduce Bill to Finish the Job and Cap the Price at $20 Per Vial

"There is no reason why Americans should pay the highest prices in the world for insulin – in some cases, ten times as much as people in other countries," said Sen. Sanders. 

"In 1923, the inventors of insulin sold their patents for $1 to save lives, not to turn pharmaceutical executives into billionaires. Now, 100 years later, unacceptable corporate greed has caused the price of this lifesaving medication to skyrocket by over 1,000 percent since 1996. 

We can no longer tolerate a rigged health care system that forced 1.3 million people with diabetes to ration insulin while the three major insulin manufacturers made $21 billion dollars in profits. Now is the time for Congress to take on the greed and power of the pharmaceutical industry and substantially lower the price of insulin. 

In the richest country in the history of the world, no one should die because they cannot afford the medication they need."

Everything Bush said to do to prepare for a pandemic but Trump ignored - Business Insider

In 2005, while on vacation at his ranch outside Crawford, Texas, President George W. Bush read John M. Barry's "The Great Influenza." The book examines how the US was impacted by the 1918 flu pandemic, the deadliest viral outbreak since the Black Death. At the time, the country was focused on other crises — notably the war in Iraq and global terrorism — but Bush was adamant about preparing for a massive national health crisis.
