Not a fan of JD Vance in the least, but I wish he’d hurry up and be sworn in as POTUS.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

I spent a few (weird, what-am-I-doing) years working on healthcare & health insurance, and this checks out. Medicare-for-all/single payer would be better because it'd have greater negotiating power with providers & drug makers. Not because we'd save a ton by getting rid of "greedy" private insurers.

Today is about Martin and Mark for me. Mark was my brother. He passed away on MLK day in 2020. He lived right around the corner from Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. Sleep Sleep tonight And may your dreams be realized (U2)

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.
