Yes!! This is my area of expertise as an endocrinologist —we have to be intentional with our time to rest and reset from all this stress. Resilience has a cost!!

My oath is to the Constitution of our state and of our country.

We don’t have kings in America – and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one.

I am not speaking up in service to my ambitions — but in deference to my obligations.

A central claim of unitary executive theory is that it doesn’t give the executive power carte blanche to do whatever it wants, because Congress still has the power of the purse. So even the most conservative Republicans should be up in arms about Musk. If not, this was never a “real” legal theory

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

As a very proud former USAID staffer, I reject this filthy, false, insane statement.

This person’s powers must be immediately abrogated.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.

Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.
We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

A clear explanation of how the Trump/Musk power grab will do untold harm to us all. This is a 5 alarm fire. No president, regardless of party, should have such direct control over the disbursement of federal funds. Now, a thread on what to do:

Reminder: Elon Musk is NOT an elected official or government employee.

Time to call our actual elected officials.

Elon Musk is on track to become the world’s first trillionaire. Imagine if his wealth was capped at $999M, and we taxed the rest (~$239B).

We could:

End homelessness: $20B

End hunger: $40B annually to 2030

Build homes: 710K new homes at $308K each

A trillion for one or a future for all?

Holiday Update

5 years ago today, I went to the Holiday show for my middle son, who was in kindergarten at the time.

Later that afternoon, I met with the palliative care team for my eldest son who was struggling with a severe life-limiting illness
