Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

Great, painstaking reporting by @bethreinhard.bsky.social and @aaronschaffer.com — a story you're only going to find at The Post.

on our last #WTHealth podcast for 2025: the latest on the ACA fight on Capitol Hill; vaccine news; and a special wrap of 2025 in health policy. With @alicemiranda.bsky.social, @lizzylawrence.bsky.social, and Tami Luhby: kffhealthnews.org/news/podcast...

One of the biggest moments of my career: USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

ICYMI, @julierovner.bsky.social on the ACA deadline and the politics over extending subsidies: www.wnyc.org/story/the-la...

It's almost as if intentionally punting the issue to December set the stage for a higher-stakes, uglier, and more public intra-party standoff that could earn the GOP even more blame in the public's view.

on this week's #WTHealth podcast: The latest on the fight over ACA subsidies and changes to vaccine policy. With @annaedney.bsky.social, @maya-goldman.bsky.social, and our newest panelist, @sherylnyt.bsky.social. kffhealthnews.org/news/podcast...

This seems rather, uh, dictatorial. I'm old enough to remember when conservatives wanted devolution and the return of power to states.

Helpful tips for reporters from Poynter, especially in the Trump era when this is increasingly common. (Example: tried to interview Kari Lake at the Kennedy Center. She began with a series of insults, invited a nearby conservative reporter to denounce us too, and then got an aide to record us.)

Listen to @gregggonsalves.bsky.social: "Race, gender, and sexuality may be a third rail of American politics for some, but for those of us in public health and biomedicine, these issues are central to our work, and improving the health and well-being of Americans depends on facing them head-on."

UCLA's Center on Reproductive Health, Law, and Policy just unveiled a fantastic hub for folks interested in the intersection of history and litigation -- "History in Reproductive Rights Cases." Their new collection of amicus briefs, scholarship, and cases is here: law.ucla.edu/academics/ce...

New, from me: by embracing unitary executive theory, the Supreme Court is moving towards making all public employees fireable at the will of the President. This will not just hurt government competence, it will aid democratic backsliding. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/at-will-wh...

On this week's #WTHealth podcast: @alicemiranda.bsky.social, @joannekenen.bsky.social, and @paigecunningham.bsky.social on the GOP scramble to find a health plan; vaccine uproar at CDC and FDA, and SCOTUS hears another abortion (related) case... kffhealthnews.org/news/podcast...

The White House will submit its plans for Trump's ballroom to the National Capital Planning Commission this month, the chair of the panel just said in public hearing.

Remember: The average American cannot afford an unexpected $1,000 medical expense. In a country with notably expensive health care, fronting medical expenses because of bad insurance policies and then waiting to do a big tax deduction is not going to be an option for the vast majority of people.

Grim new analysis from KFF: The administration's move to re-adopt the public charge rule could have a chilling effect that leads to several million people dropping Medicaid coverage — including tens of thousands of citizen children www.kff.org/medicaid/pot...

Historian of eugenics here. I don't normally like to retweet bad arguments, but this is such a fundamental misunderstanding of eugenics, I think it's important to point out. I don't have time to debunk all of the ways this is inaccurate, but I'll highlight a few things and then recommend some books🧵

Doesn’t seem great that all the animals are turning to booze.

Chairman of Senate’s health committee with his sharpest words yet as CDC’s vaccine advisers meeting gets underway. The question is what does Cassidy do now, beyond issue rebukes.

A key mission of @kff.org public opinion work is to amplify the voices of the people directly impacted by healthy policy debates. Today we release a great example of this- a survey of ACA Marketplace Enrollees www.kff.org/public-opini...

My latest, with @kffhealthnews.org and @usatoday.com: RFK Jr. wields the country's biggest bullhorn on health. Here's what he wants to talk about -- and what he doesn't. (For example, skipping Father's Day posts): www.usatoday.com/story/life/h...

I talked live on the radio this am with NO dog interruptions. Score!!! www.npr.org/2025/12/01/n...

If the CDC has been hollowed out, who will inform the nation about disease outbreaks? "That's the big question," @kffhealthnews.org Chief Washington Correspondent @julierovner.bsky.social says while noting that states and universities are "trying to pick up some of the slack."

Trump, the oldest man ever elected president, is showing more signs of age and fatigue. His official schedule starts later in the day and he has held 39% fewer public events than during the same period in his first term. @katierogersnyt.bsky.social Dylan Freedman www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

Now we have the president calling a female New York Times reporter ugly because he's mad about a story she wrote.

Friends don't let friends who can't explain silver-loading write about appropriating funds for cost-sharing reductions

Hey, the bipartisan Problem Solvers are really trying to...solve a problem! They have a bill to restore and slightly trim the enhanced ACA subsidies, and it's good. xpostfactoid.substack.com/p/on-earth-2...

New #WTHealth podcast up: @joannekenen.bsky.social, @shefali.bsky.social and Paige Cunningham on what the GOP really wants on health care, how the D's may well have won the shutdown, and an interview with @avik.bsky.social on possibilities for bipartisanship... kffhealthnews.org/news/podcast...

Jaw dropped. Trump Administration Removes Report on Missing and Murdered Native Americans, Calling It DEI Content

It’s not all politics for me. Aspen finished her Open FAST title in agility today!

Mafia governance in action "the only offer on the table was that I needed to resign by 5pm that day or the DOJ would basically rain hell on UVA... If I did not resign that day, I was told that the DOJ would extract/block hundreds of millions of dollars from UVA before they would even negotiate."

Amazing reporting from @chalkbeat.org: Christian Nationalist law firm Alliance Defending Freedom was involved in setting up Colorado's first "Christian public school" specifically so it could get another case to the Supreme Court over whether public money can fund religious schools

NEW: With Trump having signed the bill ending the shutdown, and SNAP benefits fully funded again, DOJ withdraws its SCOTUS stay request in the SNAP benefits case. "Because the underlying dispute here is now moot, the government withdraws its November 7 stay application in this Court."

This work is so important, especially in the context of how modestly (if at all) outreach efforts improve retention. Also important: the work requirements that need to be implemented by the end of next year may prove much harder to automate than standard eligibility redeterminations

In this special episode of “What the Health?” from KFF Health News and WAMU, host @julierovner.bsky.social talks to @cynthiaccox.bsky.social of @kff.org about the state of the Affordable Care Act. https://bit.ly/4813Bad
