An Israeli trans woman's essay from "them.us" argues that trans liberation and Palestinian liberation are intrinsically linked. The author describes her shock upon discovering that her hormone replacement therapy (estrogen) is manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals, an Israeli-owned company. The hosts mock the "pearl-clutching" nature of the narrative, where the author views her own medical transition as a "battleground" for the Zionist game.

The U.S. is experiencing significant shortages of Adderall and the liquid form of the antibiotic Amoxicillin. Pharmaceutical companies like Teva cite high demand and supply chain issues, while critics suggest the shortages may be a tactic for price gouging. Adderall prescriptions reportedly rose to 41 million in 2021, up from 37 million the previous year.

The FDA has declared a nationwide shortage of Adderall due to high demand and supply chain issues. The shortage is linked to the rise of online therapy apps that simplified the process of obtaining prescriptions for ADHD during the pandemic. The hosts criticize the shift in terminology from "doctor" to "provider" and suggest these apps act as legal drug pushers for stimulants.

Teva Pharmaceuticals, the primary manufacturer of Adderall, attributes the current drug shortage to supply chain disruptions and high demand. However, the hosts question the validity of these claims, noting that the FDA regulates production quotas. They suggest the shortage might be a manufactured crisis or a scam, as most ingredients are sourced from India and Mexico where supply lines remain functional.

News B-roll footage regarding the Adderall shortage reportedly included images of Oxycontin, raising concerns about the pharmaceutical industry's intentions. Teva Pharmaceuticals is currently involved in a Senate opioid probe and has been linked to fentanyl production. The hosts speculate on a potential "China's revenge" scenario involving the saturation of the US market with addictive opioids.

The FDA has confirmed a nationwide shortage of Adderall, the primary medication used to treat ADHD. Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, the largest manufacturer, cited labor shortages and a significant increase in prescriptions during the COVID-19 pandemic as the primary causes. Critics suggest the shortage may be a form of artificial price fixing by pharmaceutical companies to limit supply and drive up retail costs.

Major pharmaceutical companies like Teva and Johnson & Johnson are deeply involved in the legal manufacturing of fentanyl products, including "fentanyl lollipops." Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta's family reportedly owns a company that produces chemicals used in fentanyl manufacturing. This highlights the blurred lines between legal pharmaceutical production and the illicit drug crisis, with few executives facing criminal consequences.
