Deliciously, you can hear Storm Thurmond and the Dixiecrats boo and walk out of Hubert Humphrey’s 1948 DNC speech when the Democrats risked disappearing forever by taking the side of Civil Rights m.youtube.com/watch?v=8nwI...

*spits on ground in French* “You mean Vichy HHS!”

MISSED ME SUCKAH! m.youtube.com/watch?v=r6l_...

Uhh looks an awful lot like a loyalty test guys. “The revamped critical elements will evaluate senior executives on whether they faithfully administered the law and advanced the President's policy priorities; promoted government efficiency; demonstrated merit and competence; held others accountable…

Bullets 1. Snapping Necks 2. Cashing Checks 3-5. ibid.

Yeah we are baby! #altfam #altgov

Wait is this saying CMMI is a pro-market scam? Arguably models skewed that way eventually but effort was always in earnest to save $ and was part of blue sky vision of Obamacare. Check out optimism from Atul Gawande: www.newyorker.com/magazine/200...

Rough estimates and weekend texts suggest around 10% of my agency gone

Allegory alert!

Roses are red Violets are blue #SNAP improves health And lowers health care costs, too #HealthPolicyValentines

Roses are red Listen to my tale My gift for you love Is the head of a whale #healthpolicyvalentines

Roses are red Drinking methylene blue Worms in my head Say my love is true #healthpolicyvalentines

Roses are red Violets are blue I won’t hide my love Like data on the flu #healthpolicyvalentines

World: "Oh my god, what do we do if the government just decides NOT TO OBEY the courts?! HAS ANYONE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS?" Prof. Nick Parrillo: "Hold my beer." papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

It’s hard because it’s like 15% a decent platform. I *would* like to get to the bottom of this whole microplastic thing. I *do* suspect why we don’t get fat when eating more in Europe has something to do with Monsanto, and are we *sure* semaglutides won’t liquefy my pancreas?

I worry Gen X failed Gen Z as I don’t think we made them aware masculine liberals exist, likely because having a Twitter/youtube/podcast talking about how masculine you are is the least masculine thing ever.

Periodic reminder everyone should read “Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here,” by @jonathanblitzer.bsky.social www.amazon.com/Everyone-Who...

Right spirit wrong plan. In the dead of night set up Little Free Libraries near schools and load them with banned children’s books. Wear ski masks. Don’t get shot. Same punk rock energy. (www.ala.org/bbooks/frequ...) www.carscoops.com/2025/02/anti...

So it’s clearly an abomination to fire civil servants who took an oath on the Constitution but many of the DOJ/FBI guys who worked on Jan 6th cases are *also* big MAGA guys now getting shit-canned/reprimanded #ohshitleopardsfindmyfacedelicioustooWTF #tearsaredelicious

Ahh yes. Then RFK is only Secretary of Vichy HHS

This is true but here’s how it plays out internally, from an administrative law perspective. Statute becomes regulation. There’s a shitload of interpretational wiggle room in that jump. The regulation can be very progressive or very conservative or toothless or prescriptive to industry 🧵🪡

Not to be confused with “Dirty Balls” from “Ong Bak”

To make up for lack of office space for Feds it’s been circulating that we may go to WeWork. There was a GSA pilot on it during Biden (www.wework.com/newsroom/wew...). Of course, we’re trying to figure out which billionaire would profit from this, likely him: www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Will sleep like a baby knowing once you feed the AI all the federal regulations as training data it’ll start smoking & shaking in horror, unable to reconcile regulations that contradict & declare each other illegal, terms defined inconsistently across agencies, like when WOPR fried out in Wargames.
