Adventures with friends, burner stuff, health policy, information interoperability, and clinical AI, being owned by cats, bicycles, cooking, and living in the belly of the beast in DC.
This is the first time since no kings that I’ve looked at Bluesky before I got out of bed and felt optimism

Vought and miller can still go lick the inside of a garbage can though

The Capital Area Food Bank is now offering food distributions for federal employees and contractors impacted by the shutdown. This is on top of all the other good work they do in metro DC

I donated this morning and if you can, please do

Miller is hiding out in military bases because he is a giant fraidy cat!

I find that interesting. He is *that* scared of Americans.

neither vought or miller have the balls to do anything but hide behind a failed real estate mogul with dementia.

I bet their mommies are real proud of them.

Another morning I wake up, read the news and am glad I am the last one standing in my family. My dad was a customs officer. He’d been port patrol and army air force before that. Proud of his service. He’d be so ashamed to see his agency defiled by racist trash recruits beating on people.

I hate the supreme court’s emergency docket

Roberts is a treasonous simp in the orange menace’s pocket.

What does the orange turd have on Roberts?

What color/ethnicity are the people who clean Roberts’ house and take care of his yard?

Inquiring minds want to know!

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition

Tip o’ the keyboard to Monty Python as I armchair quarterback the impending public health crisis. Those brainiacs who hijacked the US somehow think that this is only gonna affect the people they want to eliminate…

Tell me how Roberts is a patriot again? Sure sounds to me like he is in Putin’$ pocket.

Policy pays my bills. This is true. I know bluesky is 1) an echo chamber 2) I’m not popular enough on bluesky for anyone to see this: BUT ironic that the orange menace’s followers would be willing to lose access to healthcare - no ACA subsidies for a LIE. No One Expects the Spanish Inquisition

Whew…
The DoJ wants states’ voter data, a MAGAt now owns Dominion, SCOTUS may further gut the Voting Rights Act, a 2020 election denier now holds a gov’t “election integrity” post, Trump may invoke the Insurrection Act, and we still don’t know how Elon affected the 2024 election. So we’re doing great.

I paid off my student loan yesterday

It feels really good to get rid of that debt. Especially now with Palantir muddling about in government data and potentially seizing a future tax refund or something because never being late or missing a payment probably isn’t good enough anymore

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

Quote from HCR’s newsletter discussing that POS’ unhinged address to NATO

“A senior foreign diplomat posted at the U.N. texts me,” (foreign affairs journalist Ishaan Tharoor) wrote, “‘This man is stark, raving mad. Do Americans not see how embarrassing this is?’”

Yes, every single day

Putting on my policy hat for a minute (I can’t sleep, ugh). What does this mean, for my non professional friends? AHIP is a professional society for commercial health insurers. “America”s Health Insurance Plans.” Math was done. It’s cheaper to vaccinate than to not. At least through 2026
