I talk about politics and public health mostly with a sprinkle of life observations and a dash of sports commentary.

The House will need to elect its speaker before Congress can swear in new members and certify Donald Trump as the winner of the 2024 presidential election. Last time, it took four days and 15 votes. Here’s how it works.

Maybe one of the best plot line summaries that I have ever read.
Mary Poppins, a beautiful story where a nanny and some parkouring chimney sweeps teach children, through the medium of witchcraft, about CLASS WAR.

Happy New Year! I hope you and your family have a great year ahead.

If Elon can stay off Twitter we might have a deal! Speaker Johnson just saved his gavel.

I feel bad for Speaker Johnson

Had a feeling that we were heading towards another CR. There is no end to the budget season on Capitol Hill

I'm not a conspiracy theorist at all but I find it hard to believe that we don't know more about these drones in the Northeast.

BREAKING NEWS: President Biden has signed the bipartisan #BOLDAlzheimersAct reauthorization into law! 🎆

By reauthorizing this important law, we can continue strengthening our public health infrastructure. We thank the president for standing with the Alzheimer’s & dementia community. #EndALZ

If you sell real estate in this country, you are subject to a background check. Why would we water down the process for vetting leaders of Government Agencies?
Should we move past the expectation that presidential appointees must have squeaky-clean personal records?
What do you think?

The Senate must act before the bipartisan #BOLDAlzheimersAct expires this year. Tell your senators to keep building on the progress we’ve made in improving brain health across the country by passing this important bill. p2a.co/rV41AR1 #EndAlz
