Trump’s latest 100 percent tariff on pharmaceuticals: What we know

Now, today is September 26th, and this is supposed to go into effect on October 1st, which is like nine months in the warped dog-years time of the Trump administration. And it’s very possible he’ll walk it back or conveniently forget about it, which happens pretty frequently.

Which means that calling your reps now may actually make a difference in whether this kills people.

Step 1: Search up the generic name for whatever meds you take, then call your pharmacist - not your primary - and ask where it comes from and whether any part of it is manufactured in the US. THEN call your primary and tell them to pre-order your next round, even if you’re not due yet. (They might try to tell you they can’t do that. They can.)

Step 2: Call your reps - by now you should be calling them so often they’re one of the top numbers saved in your phone, but you can also find them very easily here - and tell them specifically that you are worried about the financial impact on American business this will have and ask them what they plan to do about it. Because sadly, concerns about money and saving their own skin will probably get their attention faster than any concerns about the harm it will do to vulnerable individuals.

NONE OF THIS IS INEVITABLE. I’m serious, call your reps. We’ve gotten other Orwellian nightmare shit walked back or shot down - because remember that we’re not dealing with actual politics anymore, we’re dealing with a spineless madman with late stage dementia who’s favorite pastime is Just Saying Things To Say Things - and we can get this shot down too.

CALL YOUR REPS!!!
