Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced on Monday that Texas had sued Pfizer and Tris Pharma for allegedly defrauding the Texas Medicaid program through its provision of an ADHD medication to children. Paxton alleged that Pfizer and Tris doctored testing data on ADHD drug Quillivant despite known issues with the drug. Paxton said that the pharma companies violated the Texas Health Care Program Fraud Prevention Act to get Quillivant past Texas drug regulations. “I am horrified by the dishonesty we uncovered in this investigation. Pfizer and Tris intentionally concealed and failed to disclose the issues with Quillivant to receive taxpayer funded benefits through Texas Medicaid‚ defrauding the state and endangering children‚” Paxton said in a statement posted on X. According to a press release from Paxton’s office‚ Pfizer distributed Quillivant to children on Medicaid “despite the drug’s pattern of failing quality control tests due to flawed manufacturing practices.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING GUIDE “For years‚ Tris altered the drug’s testing method in violation of federal and state laws to ensure Quillivant passed regulatory hurdles and could continue to be sold‚” Paxton’s office said. “Despite knowing about these serious problems‚ Pfizer misrepresented to the Medicaid program that Quillivant was in compliance with federal and state law‚ and concealed from Medicaid decision-makers the fact that Quillivant was an adulterated drug.” Paxton’s suit says that the poor manufacturing processes were hidden by Pfizer and Tris from 2012 to 2018. At the same time‚ Paxton said patients attested that the medication was not working. “At no point did Defendants warn Texas Medicaid providers or decision-makers that Quillivant had known manufacturing issues affecting its efficacy‚ thereby depriving the Medicaid program of the crucial information it relies on‚” a legal filing from Paxton says. “As a result‚ thousands of Texas children received an adulterated Schedule II Controlled Dangerous Substance.” GET 50% OFF DAILYWIRE+ ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS One of the plaintiffs named in the case‚ Relator Tarik Ahmed‚ used to work as head of technology for Tris. According to the filing‚ Ahmed learned of the alleged “substandard manufacturing practices” used by Tris during his time with the company from 2013 to 2017. Pfizer has previously said that it was subpoenaed in 2022 by the Southern District of New York over the production of Quillivant and its partnership with Tris. It said it hasn’t heard any more updates after the initial communication.

Former President Donald Trump criticized Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds in a video that his campaign posted on Tuesday for endorsing one of his opponents‚ Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Trump made the remarks after Reynolds said in an NBC News interview earlier this month that the last time she spoke with the former president was when “he called to ask if I would endorse him‚ and I said I wasn’t [going to endorse him].” “Kim Reynolds of Iowa has gone from a popular governor to the most unpopular governor in the entire United States of America‚” Trump said. “Not an easy feat. Her endorsement of Ron DeSanctimonious‚ who is 50 points down to me in the polls‚ has given him exactly zero bounce. He’s a wounded bird falling violently from the sky.” “I wonder what position Kim was promised in order to back someone who is so far down in the polls‚” he continued. “I got Iowa‚ first in the nation‚ ethanol security‚ and $28 billion for our great farmers in Iowa and Nebraska and Wisconsin‚ and many other farming areas of our country. $28 billion for the farmers. I also protected Social Security and Medicare; DeSanctimonious and Nikki Haley did absolutely nothing.

A British museum has decided that an infamous Roman emperor was transgender‚ and will refer to him using female pronouns in the name of sensitivity. The North Hertfordshire Museum told the Telegraph that going forward‚ it will refer to Elagabalus‚ who ruled the Roman empire from 218-222 AD‚ as a woman‚ based on the work of contemporary historian Cassius Dio‚ who said that Elagabulus was “termed wife‚ mistress and queen.”  “Call me not Lord‚ for I am a Lady.” Elagabalus supposedly told a male lover. “We know that Elagabalus identified as a woman and was explicit about which pronouns to use‚ which shows that pronouns are not a new thing‚” said Keith Hoskins‚ executive member for Enterprise and Arts at North Herts Council. “We try to be sensitive to identifying pronouns for people in the past‚ as we are for people in the present.” However‚ later historians have debated how seriously some of these descriptions should be taken. Rome was an unapologetically patriarchal society and lacked the modern conceptions of “gender” as something independent of biological sex. While some “gender fluid” characters existed in myth‚ such as Hermaphroditus‚ from whom we get the term “hermaphrodite‚” and the blind prophet Tiresius‚ who was transformed into a woman for seven years as a divine punishment‚ after which he was transformed back into a man‚ such ambiguity wasn’t transferred over to flesh and blood people. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING GUIDE Allegations of sexual impropriety or effeminate behavior were stock insults in the Roman political lexicon. Surviving histories of the era are often fragmentary and biased‚ with some unpopular emperors being exclusively remembered by the descriptions of their enemies. “There are many examples in Roman literature of times where effeminate language and words were used as a way of criticising or weakening a political figure‚” Dr Shushma Malik‚ a classics professor at Cambridge University‚ told the BBC. “References to Elagabalus wearing makeup‚ wigs and removing body hair may have been written in order to undermine the unpopular emperor.” Elagabulus‚ who is widely considered to be one of the worst emperors Rome ever had‚ ascended to the throne at the age of 14 at the end of a bloody civil war‚ and was himself assassinated four years later to be replaced by his younger cousin‚ Alexander Severus. Aside from his reported sexual exploits (Dio tells us that he was “married” at various points to four women and one man and had many extramarital affairs)‚ Elagablus is also remembered for his promotion of the Syrian sun-god of the same name and his unpopular religious reforms‚ which were rescinded after his death. GET 50% OFF DAILYWIRE+ ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS Cassius Dio lived through Elagablus’ reign and was a close political ally of his replacement. While he is still respected as a valuable ancient source‚ Dio has often been regarded as less reliable than other Roman historians and his descriptions of the late Emperor were far from neutral. “[Elagabulus] both married and was bestowed in marriage; for he appeared both as man and as woman‚ and in both relations conducted himself in the most licentious fashion‚” Dio wrote. In the same account‚ Dio repeatedly refers to Elagabalus as a pretender to the throne (“the False Antoninus”)‚ and accuses him‚ among other things‚ of defiling a virgin priestess‚ dressing and acting like a female prostitute‚ planning to “cut off his [own] genitals” seeking out a primitive vaginoplasty‚ and says that “He ought to have been scourged in the Forum‚ thrown into prison‚ and then put to death.” That being said‚ the well documented sexual behavior of some modern dictators often mirrors ancient allegations of impropriety‚ which has led some historians to re-evaluate claims that had previously been dismissed as “fantastical.” The claims made about Elagabalus in the historical record stand out as particularly extreme‚ even when compared to other Roman invective‚ which has led some historians to believe that he may have genuinely suffered from gender dysphoria‚ although others remain skeptical.

The U.S. military unleashed an AC-130 gunship on an Iranian-backed terrorist group in Iraq this week after the group fired a ballistic missile at U.S. and coalition forces stationed at Al-Asad Airbase. “On 21 Nov. an AC-130 gunship engaged individuals responsible for launching a missile attack on U.S. and Coalition personnel at Al Assad Airbase‚ Iraq‚” U.S. Central Command said in a statement. “The gunship maintained visual confirmation of the individuals from the time of the launch to the time of engagement. This strike resulted in several enemy casualties.” The missile attack resulted in multiple U.S. personnel being injured at the facility‚ as well as damage to infrastructure at the base. A pentagon spokesperson said that the gunship was able to respond so quickly because it was already in the air when the attack happened. “We were able to identify the point of origin of these attacks because an AC-130 was up already in the area and therefore was able to respond‚” the spokesperson said. “They were able to take action because they saw the militants. They were able to keep an eye on the movement of these militants as they moved into their vehicles and that’s why they were able to respond.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING GUIDE The U.S. did not specify which terrorist organization was behind the attack‚ only that it was backed by Iran. U.S. forces throughout the region have been attacked at least 66 times in Iraq and Syria since October 17‚ ten days after Hamas launched an unprecedented terror attack against Israel‚ murdering 1‚200 Israelis‚ wounding 5‚300+‚ and kidnapping more than 240. The AC-130 is one of the most feared aerial weapons in the U.S. arsenal as its equipped with a Precision Strike Package that includes a 30mm and 105mm cannon in addition to its Standoff Precision Guided Munitions‚ which includes GBU-39 Small Diameter Bombs‚ GBU-69 Small Glide Munitions‚ AGM-114 Hellfire missiles‚ and AGM-176 Griffin missiles.
