Last night I was listening to a podcast discussing unitary executive theory and I cursed Dick Cheney under my breath... I think it worked.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

My 2026 Covered California renewal quote is including the federal subsidies. There is nothing in my renewal notice indicating I might not get the subsidy. Is the state of CA planning to fund this if the feds don't?

How is anyone supposed to pick a plan under these circumstances?

Trump on DC: "We haven't had to bring in the regular military, which we're willing to do if we have to. And after we do this, we'll go to another location and we'll make it safe also ... Chicago is a mess. And we'll straighten that one out probably next"

My high school English teacher was a teenager in Nazi occupied Estonia and she beat up a Nazi-youth with a stale baguette when he tried to take it from her. That story is burned in my brain. 🥖

Ok, you know why I don’t like Gavin Newsom? You know how in While You Were Sleeping, Peter Gallagher’s family all talks about how he rescued a nest of baby birds as a kid, and later he admits he knocked their nest out of the tree with a rock, then made sure everyone saw him rescue it?

That’s Gavin.

If you ever think about reaching out to an old friend who you lost touch with for no major reason... Do it. Got to catch up with one today and it was delightful.

If I keep the same plan I have right now my coverage will go from $500/mo to around $1200/mo. It's more than my mortgage.

My prescription drugs and specialists will mean I'm either paying a crazy high premium or crazy high co-pays.

You know when you were a kid and your parents made you go to some other kid’s birthday party that you didn’t want to go to but you went anyway because you knew there would be food and cake and probably something fun to do? I think that’s what today feels like for a lot of people.
