"It’s easy to miss the human side of policy, legal compliance, the nitty gritty of efficient government. To get caught up in slogans about fraud or waste. That’s what Musk and Trump are counting on. And yet I see and hear the human side every time my son says “My dad’s name is David.” On @msnbc.com

It does not matter if your shitty start-up fails. The VC culture expects most of them to do so. It does matter if you mess up the federal government because its a lot harder to repair what has been broken rather than, y'know, not break it in the first place.

That this is happening is horrifying enough, but that this is happening shortly after more than 1 million Americans died of a novel pandemic virus is so unfathomable and irresponsible and dangerous that I am struggling to find the words. They are gutting public health and risking our lives.

tragically ironic. EIS officers are fellows. They work for peanuts, travel to all sorts of places (often red states) to investigate epidemics and outbreak. Firing them saves virtually no money and will hurt public health. An EIS greatest hit for GenX: Jack in the Box & E. coli O157:H7

Keeping an eye on the little things with Kyle Kuzma in Milwaukee. Cuts when the defense helps, spaces back out. A lot of "fitting in" ball movement here but a random screen from the corner for Dame to keep the flow up intrigues me to how they could use him.

It is also literally not something that can be done via executive order. Obviously, laws are what the Court majority says they are/they’re only as good as their enforcers, but that makes it all the more important that we scream from the rooftops and make these things matter.

The #Medicaid work requirement train is revving up again. Let's be clear about this: Medicaid is a health insurance program, not a jobs program. There is no evidence that Medicaid work requirements improve health or produce other benefits. They are a barrier to care & a driver of inequity (1/n)

RFK Jr.: Medicaid is not working. Fact check: 83% of Medicaid enrollees rate the overall performance of Medicaid positively, and Medicaid enrollees report fewer cost-related problems relative to those with Marketplace coverage and ESI.
