Murphy: "On April 30 -- a Thursday -- Reynolds makes an $8m donation. On Saturday, they have lunch w/POTUS & tell him they want a change in rules for flavored vapes. The president calls FDA commissioner & HHS sec, & on Tuesday new guidance is issued paving way to the sale of flavored vapes ... "

A new FDA in 2029 can and should change all of these rules in an instant. Doesn't matter how much money companies have invested, or how much they claim that they "depended" on a federal rule for certainty, or how many workers they say they'll have to fire. Pay to play must disappear.

wow that's so pathetic and hilarious at the same time. As funny as all this is to watch you people should really not let him keep doing this shit to your country.

How would we even stop this from happening again? Once the horse is out of the barn? I’d love to know in all reality how could this & his other corruption be prevented from ever happening with the next Pres who’s corrupt? The courts couldn’t stop him? How do we prevent this???

So when is cocaine and crack going to be legal. I heard it’s highly addictive and has high profit margins for their shareholders.  

And let’s not forget that the “donation” isn’t going to any campaign. It’s just going straight into Trumps pockets. His PAC money can be used for anything.

I don’t think everyone realizes how much $$$ Trump’s made this term. So, let’s do some math. Last month, Forbes said he’d made 2.7 billion. NPR said 2.2 billion. I’ll go with NPR. $2,200,000,000 over 612 days = $3,594,771.24 We can’t afford anything while he makes 3.6 million every single day.

I hope the Democrats are ready to go after all the CEOs and boards of all the corporations that are involved in this bribery

Her smirk makes me want to slap her.......good lord, I've never had such disgust or anger as I've had the last ten years.....

Yet 1 more of t-Rumps 'pay to play'schemes, so those that once Had banned or prohibited products can then be restored to the public! ALL,FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY! SONETIMES,I wish that money was never introduced to us, but then, IM SURE those greedy skanks would find other means of 'trade' for profit!

…and Americans say ‘oh, this is awful, someone should do something about it’ and then do FUCK ALL about it. Rinse and repeat.

I think that's a bit harsh when you're talking about a country where you can be shot for any number of reasons or kidnapped and disappeared because you're non white. Replace, 'Americans' with 'Democrat representatives' and I'd agree 100%

Unpossible this could have happened without a signed note from Trump saying this is him taking a bribe.

Jesus H. The lies and obfuscation of every single person that Trump wants to appoint and that appears before Congressional committees is truly disrespectful to these committees, and surely, one would like to think, degrading to these individuals. Every one of them has obviously been “Coached!”

does jr own its stock? “April 30 -- a Thursday -- Reynolds makes an $8m donation. On Saturday, they have lunch w/ <it> & tell<it>they want a change in rules for flavored vapes. <it> calls FDA commissioner & HHS sec, & on Tuesday new guidance is issued paving way to the sale of flavored vapes ... "

capitalism rewards bottomless greed & crushes the proletariat - sick to death of it - Zuckerberg YOU HAVE ENOUGH DUDE - YOU TOO BEZOS & MUCK - ALL of you have enough

I think that by now we can all agree that the practice of buying influence is SOP for this Administration. They don't even try to hide it. By far, the worst in our history.

‼️🚨⏰🔔ALL Americans 👇👇👇👇BE « WARNED » DON’T EVER BELIEVE TRUMP ON ALL PROMISES HE MADE & MAKES! AFTER THE MIDTERMS HE IS GOING TO BE AS HARSH AS IT NEVER CAN BE HARSHER ! ….👇👇👇👇

Can ANY nominee, for any position, answer without numerous qualifications or glancing over for approval from this corrupt regime? Yes? No? Honesty (integrity) is impossible for this cult.

She disqualified herself as soon as she lied and said “the president was concerned with getting the best outcomes for the American people.” More like, the president is concerned with getting the most money he possibly can.

A textbook case of how big money buys regulatory changes in a matter of days. When an $8 million donation can overturn public health policy over a single weekend, it’s no longer market regulation—it’s direct corporate influence at the expense of public health.
