  1. For once I actually agree with something Rokita is doing.

    Too bad he couldn’t have convinced Indiana Republican lawmakers to support the recent price caps for insulin proposed in Washington. All that Republicans were willing to pass was a cap for Medicare patients. Too bad doing good for the country looked too much like making the Biden administration look good, so Republicans tanked it. For the most part they are no longer a rational political party.
