The second Saturday morning in a row that I am grateful that my vet fit me in at short notice for something urgent with Liam. Driving INTO DC is a pain in the butt. Good vet care is priceless!

I moved my island to a new switch when the update was announced. Logged in to check on things and Julian let me know that it had been a while.

Oh hey it’s Sunday morning and time for doom and gloom on BSKY to prepare for doing doom and gloom in the healthcare policy mines for the little data analytics startup that keeps me from being homeless. Have my favorite cats right now and these deer playing with a plastic bag on my lawn this morning

I don’t think Lowly would cut off funding to GAVI, the global vaccine alliance - but RFK sure did! Something something “not science.” RFK = the T2 admin’s own Mengele… except Mengle had a medical degree and RFK *might* possess enough intellectual capacity to tie his shoe. Maybe

Dear Mom and Dad, I made a quick trip home for a work conference. We stayed near union sq in the Palace. She’s gone a little shabby over the years since you’ve been gone. This trip, full of childhood nostalgia. But I am grateful in a way you are both gone 1/2

“Facilitating importation programs that could save states millions in prescription drug costs.”Commerce started a 232 investigation on natl security risks of U.S. importing pharmaceuticals and starting materials on 4/1. dumpy said pharma imports will be hit with tariffs on 4/8. Something is a lie.

I’d take them more seriously if they could spell “executive” correctly on their own “orders.” This persisted for a couple of days around February 25th.

This is a letter from William treanor the dean and executive VP of Georgetown law to the “interim” US state atty Edward Martin. This is important because Dean Treanor isn’t rolling over @youranoncentral.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social @fednews.bsky.social @altscalesofjustice.altgov.info

Dear Interim United States Attorney Martin:
I write in response to your letter dated February 17, 2025, which you sent to me via email
on March 3, 2025.
As a Catholic and Jesuit institution, Georgetown University was founded on the principle
that serious and sustained discourse among people of different faiths, cultures, and beliefs promotes intellectual, ethical, and spiritual understanding. For us at Georgetown, this principle is a moral and educational imperative. It is a principle that defines our mission as a Catholic and Jesuit institution. Georgetown University also prohibits discrimination and harassment in its programs and activities and takes seriously its obligations to comply with all federal and local laws.
Your letter challenges Georgetown's ability to define our mission as an educational institution. It inquires about Georgetown Law's curriculum and classroom teaching, asks whether diversity, equity, and inclusion is part of the curriculum, and asserts that your office will not hire individuals from schools where you find the curriculum "unacceptable." The First Amendment, however, guarantees that the goverment cannot direct what Georgetown and its faculty teach and how to teach it. The Supreme Court has continually affirmed that among the freedoms central to a university's First Amendment rights are its abilities to determine, on academic grounds, who may teach, what to teach, and how to teach it.

This is a bedrock principle of constitutional law - recognized not only by the courts, but by the administration in which you serve. The Department of Education confirmed last week that it cannot restrict First Amendment rights and that it is statutorily prohibited from "exercising control over the content of school curricula."
Your letter informs me that your office will deny our students and graduates government
employment opportunities until you, as Interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, approve of our curriculum. Given the First Amendment's protection of a university's freedom to determine its own curriculum and how to deliver it, the constitutional violation behind this threat is clear, as is the attack on the University's mission as a Jesuit and Catholic institution.
Georgetown Law has one of the preeminent faculties in the country, fostering groundbreaking scholarship, educating students in a wide variety of perspectives, and thriving on the robust exchange of ideas. Georgetown Law faculty have educated world leaders, members of Congress, and Justice Department officials, from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. We pride ourselves on providing an excellent graduate and professional education, built upon the Catholic and Jesuit tradition. Georgetown-educated attorneys have, for decades, served this country capably and selflessly in offices such as yours, and we have confidence that tradition will continue. We look forward to your confirming that any Georgetown-affiliated candidates for employment with your office will receive full and fair consideration.

Sounds like it’s time for certain members of congress to step down since they cannot maintain their oath of office. This is a screenshot from senate.gov

Senate oath of office which says “I do solemnly swear (or Affirm) that I will support and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that I take this obligation freely, without reservation or purpose of evasion, that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of this office on which I am about to enter. So help me god.”

Senators Alsobrook and Van Holland held a town hall last night. This came from a redditor who listened in. Confirms what I thought - the republicans are cowering in fear and if you live in a red state you should be reminding them of their duty to their constituents

This hooligan decided that he would go parkouring off a shelf of glassware at 1:15 am this morning in protest of not getting any dry food post dental surgery. I’m amazed I did not step in the broken glass on my kitchen floor when investigating.

Uh, is lack of intellectual curiosity a generational thing or a denial thing? Seems like if you were going into health policy you’d look to inform yourself prior to starting a program? I can’t be mad, just befuddled! So here’s a cat sitting on my iPad that I couldn’t find for 10 minutes.

This was supposed to be a special trip back home. A meaningful conference, some nostalgia, some good networking and science. Now science is on the chopping block. And I crossed a picket line at a hotel. What a time to be alive.
