Collude...

Colorado is one of 44 states that filed a lawsuit against generic drug manufacturers alleging they violated state and federal laws by conspiring to fix prices and stop competitors, resulting in generic drug costs significantly going up.

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Connecticut, alleges that 20 pharmaceutical companies — including Teva Pharmaceutical, Sandoz, Mylan and Pfizer — “embarked on one of the most egregious and damaging price-fixing conspiracies in the history of the United States.”

Teva and other companies raised prices between July 2013 and January 2015 on about 112 generic drugs some with price increases of more than 1,000 percent, according to the complaint. The lawsuit called it an overarching conspiracy that attempted to thwart competition in the generic drug industry and resulted in inflated drug prices.

There are more ways to solve this problem. Just a thought.

Yuma...

So far this fiscal year, there has already been over 40,000 illegal migrant arrests according to Yuma Border Patrol, which is almost double the total of all of the fiscal year 2018. In FY 2018, there were over 26,000 illegal migrant arrests with around 20,000 being families and unaccompanied children.

And in comparison, in 2017 there were 12,867 illegal migrant arrests, with around 10,000 of those being families and unaccompanied children.

Yuma Border Patrol agent Jose Gaibay said they need more manpower to deal with the “large influx”. Agent Gaibay said even though they do background checks, they don’t have criminal history in their country of origin so they rely on what the migrants are telling them.

They have concerns with some migrants abusing the US immigration system that they’ve found criminals bringing kids over, hoping to get released into the community.

Any voice of the politicians? Schumer with his Dolce Ice cream?

The cost of seeing and hearing former President Bill Clinton and his wife talk about their political experiences live on stage has dropped to as little as $20 on the secondary market “as their 13-city adventure continued to struggle to find an audience,” The New York Post reported.

At Seattle’s WaMu Theater reportedly went for $829.

That’s quite a drop from the $1,785 that the former first couple fetched when the tour was announced back in early November of last year. Event organizers were then forced to cut prices — and even offer discounts through Groupon to boost sales.
The official prices for Friday’s appearance ranged from $66.50 to $519 

The former first couple kicked off the speaking program in Las Vegas in mid-November of 2018.

Live Nation Entertainment described the event as “joint on-stage conversations with the two leaders sharing stories and inspiring anecdotes that shaped their historic careers.”

Is the people''s opinion shifting?  Just a thought.

Prices...

Pharmaceutical companies will have to reveal the price for many prescription drugs in TV commercials, under a new rule announced by the Trump administration. 

The requirement is part of President Trump's efforts to crack down on drug costs  one of his few initiatives to earn wide bipartisan support.

Under the rule, which is set to go into effect over the summer, drug makers will have to disclose prices in ads for any medication that costs more than $35 for a month's supply. It's similar to the current requirement for drug companies to spell out a drug's side effects in TV ads.

"Historic transparency for American patients is here," the president tweeted. "If drug companies are ashamed of those prices lower them!"

Fractured...

As U.S. military forces hunt down the remnants of the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, they are also waging a quieter campaign in the fractured country of Libya. 

Conducted primarily from the air and through special-operations personnel based in the western city of Misrata, the effort aims to eradicate cells of fighters who fled the group’s stronghold in the central city of Sirta.

According to Libyan officials, these cells number around 500​, called “Desert Brigade." Moving along the shallow valleys south of Sirta, the network has already conducted a number of attacks on checkpoints, convoys and, most recently, against an oilfield. 

The secretary of State at the time, Hillary  Clinton, was adamant about taking down the Libyan Leader.  Since then the killing continued, eight years and counting.

Run...

The Democrats are not sure where to go. They disparate to get the presidency regardless of who is running or what direction the party is moving to. So the call is "we choose whoever beats Trump", which is a self defeating plan.
