Did you even read this one? I don't have time to go check the rest that you posted, but this one stuck out.

While Trump's reversal of Biden's order did not immediately change any existing laws and regulations on prescription drug pricing for Medicare and Medicaid, it did create uncertainty about the federal government's approach to addressing prescription drug costs.
 
Interesting accusations...META forcing sites / pages that support Trump and his team, while suppressing / deleting / blocking anything that is critical of them.

These social media platforms owned by billionaires never had "free speech" - there has always been a thumb on the scale. When there was an exodus from Twitter to Threads due to Musk shenanigans, it was always known that Zuck was still there in the background. That, and the resulting interference, is now in the foreground.

All US-billionaire-owned social media and mass media is now suspect, and that includes a lot of Canadian mass media.

100%

I don't think there's any unbiased media nowadays. It's all filtered and curated for what the owner wants the message to be.
 
Heard that Murdoch had to pay millions orin the process of talks to prince harry for stalking him in his early yrs.

Of course Trump's order didn't immediately "raise prices". It just removed something that was in the way of others raising prices.

The eventual consequence is predictable.

Trump is a master of getting knee jerk and over reaction from people on crap he says

"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.
A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong.
And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule
of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want."
- Hannah Arendt
(14 October 1906 – 4 December 1975) German historian and philosopher
