    CT Senator Chris Murphy Exposes Trump Parson Scheme

    Senator Murphy reveals that Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, who created the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange.

    A PBS News article explains Zhao served prison time because criminals used his exchange platform to move money connected to child sex and drug trafficking as well as terrorism. Then Zhao asked Trump for a pardon to undo his conviction.

    Trump now wants to purchase a stake in Binance to be funded by the Trump family’s crypto company World Liberty Financial (which made him $57 million last year).

    Democratic Senators Introduce Bipartisan Bill to Break Up Big Medicine

    The “Break Up Big Medicine Act ” tackles a questionable business strategy called “vertical integration” that causes high healthcare prices for everyone.

    In vertical integration, one company can own every part of the health care supply chain—from health insurance companies, to pharmacy benefit managers, pharmacists and even the physicians. By controlling all of the chain, giant pharmacy conglomerates could steer business to others in their supply chain. They could also avoid the laws that stop corporations from making illegal profits and potentially use the health providers they employ to boost government payments to make even more money for themselves.
