Your Instagram feed would be torture to scroll through.
Only if you don't like funny videos.
I assume those will be coming soon?
If you're too entrenched politically to admit a lot of those videos of Biden (or about Biden) are funny (or sad?) then that is a you problem, not a me problem.

I think most of the videos of our last 2 presidents have been amazingly sad really.
Trump was a saggy pants, bad dancing, bigoted asshat with enough awareness to know how he was raping and pillaging the system to manipulate it in whatever way he could to benefit himself regardless of the expense to the countries safety and security.
Biden looks like a senile grandpa that wandered into a Quincinera, grabbed the microphone and thinks the pinata is for him.
Like I said, the White House and the National Archives need to do a thorough review of their procedures and policies to figure out why this is happening so frequently. One is a mistake, two is a problem and three is a serious issue. Get this shit figured out because foreign spies have got to be licking their chops right now.

one take I saw was that maybe Merica has an "overclassification" problem.
if every single little memo and post-it note counts as classified, of course some stuff might get misplaced.
not that I'm trying to justify anything. I think it should be fairly easy to not end up with classified stuff you aren't supposed to hang onto.

Unfortunately it’s fodder for Trumpistas to claim post-it note equals nuclear codes. Much the same way illy claims similarity between aspirin and arsenic because……..side effects!

Im still waiting for a breakdown of what was found and where.....is that available anywhere?
Or was that hyperbole by zsn while, in the same sentence, admonishing the use of hyperbole?
Eli Lilly will cap the out-of-pocket cost of its insulin at $35 a month, the drugmaker said Wednesday. The move, experts say, could prompt other insulin makers in the U.S. to follow suit...
Insulin makers continue to face pressure from members of Congress and advocacy groups to lower the cost of the lifesaving medication. Insulin costs in the U.S. are notoriously high compared to the costs in other countries; the RAND Corporation, a public policy think tank, estimated that in 2018, the average list price for one vial of insulin in the U.S. was $98.70.

(But, what about those Dr. Seuss books in my kid's school library?)
Note: Many patients with diabetes need 2-3 vials of insulin per month.

No, thank you capitalism!
"In addition to political pressure, Eli Lilly also faces the threat of competition from outside the industry, said Larry Levitt, the executive vice president for health policy at KFF, formerly known as the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Civica Rx, a nonprofit company in Lehi, Utah, said last year that it plans to make and sell generic versions of insulin to consumers at no more than $30 a vial and no more than $55 for a box of five pen cartridges. The state of California also plans to make low-cost insulin, as does Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Co., which sells drugs at low costs online.
“Eli Lilly definitely sees the writing on the wall,” Levitt said."

Every country’s National health care system negotiates prices concurrently with granting approval based on safety-and-efficacy. Ours (Medicare) is prohibited by law from negotiating prices for most drugs (all, until quite recently - thanks Uncle Joe!)

CNN - A few weeks after allowing the controversial Willow oil drilling project in Alaska to go forward, the Biden administration is auctioning off more than 73 million acres of waters in the Gulf of Mexico to offshore oil and gas drilling.
