This story should be getting much more attention. Homan took a bribe, the Trump administration doesn’t even properly deny it, and people don’t seem to care

Someone I love just had a big polyp found on a colonoscopy. In addition, my college roommate died in 2023 of colorectal cancer at the age of 52. If you are average risk, please start getting screened at 45. If you have a family history, you need to start younger than that.

Holy crap

He’s not wrong

We’ve reached the point where career government employees are forced to determine the scope of the Federal Vacancies Reform Act. (Arguments can be made both ways.)

From @kevinrkosar.bsky.social comes the sad news that Mort Rosenberg, the legendary CRS expert on congressional oversight, has passed away.

Oh my God, this really is Hegseth.

Trump promised to lower prices and my brokerage statement shows he has kept his promise.

Although a congressional suit over appropriations issues seems unlikely given Republican control of both houses, one wonders whether there might at some point be enough Rs who would be interested in a "test case" over some of the administration's theories www.pointoforder.com/2015/09/16/c...

I am so sick of this narrative that Zelensky goofed up by not being more deferential to Trump. Trump's narrative - that Ukraine is at least as much to blame for the war as Putin - is poison for Ukraine, and is intended to be poison.

What are the best resources for federal government employees who receive a deferred resignation letter?

I have an essay in the NYTimes with Noah Bookbinder on the importance of the Senate confirmation process for executive branch nominations, including the standard background investigation. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/o...

On Lawfare Daily, @mollyereynolds.bsky.social spoke to @mls1776.bsky.social and Donald Sherman (@crew.bsky.social) about the Senate confirmation process, expectations for congressional oversight in the next Congress, and President-elect Trump’s potential plans for recess appointments.

Wow, I just logged on here and it’s like all the libs were raptured from twitter. 😀

Mike Stern has written an intellectual history of this little tempest over at his blog, which gives some more context on some of the characters involved www.pointoforder.com/2024/01/05/a...
