I've finally given up on reinstatement and accepted a position in the private sector. It breaks my heart to leave the federal government and I hope one day that I might return.

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

If you’re in Wisconsin, vote today for Susan Crawford. There are also two special elections in Florida’s 1st and 6th districts. Let’s show Elon our country isn’t for sale.

Scouring the literature to reinforce RFK Jr's pre-conceived notions of truth is not science, and it is not what anyone at CDC should be doing with their time.
What #rfkjr is doing at #hhs looks nothing like science and a lot like fundamentalist religion. My latest for 48 Hills: https://48hills.org/2025/03/when-fundamentalist-religious-thought-replaces-science-we-are-in-serious-trouble/

Under RFK Jr, researchers are looking for data that supports their political agenda, not data that seeks the truth.

Today, thousands of openly-transgender service members will put on their uniform and do what needs to be done because they honor their oath to our country, while Pete Hegseth denigrates their service and violates his oath by brazenly sharing classified intel in text groups.

A new Trump portrait for Colorado's Capitol could take time after one he disliked was removed
Filling an empty space on the wall of presidential portraits in the Colorado Capitol with a new painting of Donald Trump could take time after one he disliked was removed and put into storage. Legislative leaders from both parties will decide how to replace the painting that Trump derided Sunday night on social media and that by Tuesday morning had been taken down. The Legislature is focused on more pressing matters including the state budget.
