Share A Midwest Conversation with someone in your life who is sick of the mainstream media, or someone who is politically homeless, or someone who just doesn’t care about any political or governmental processes at all.

Jimmy Kimmel’s terrible take.
In a recent monologue on his late-night show, Kimmel took the take that American hospitals should deny unvaccinated people health care. A truly disgusting take that is making its way through elite media circles. Kimmel might have been joking, but the fact still remains that there are upper-class liberals that unironically share his take in this situation. That, is no laughing matter.

The plan also calls on Congress to allow drug importation from Canada, allowing generic and biosimilar drugs to be available more quickly.Be ready for a fight; Big Pharma is not going to let this go unchecked.

International Press Freedom act.
This week Senators Lindsey Graham (R-S.C) and Tim Kaine (D-VA) announced a bill to protect journalists working overseas or in dangerous areas. The bill calls for a new State Department office and an annual 30M in funding for the protection of journalists.
