    Many of you know my career, some know about my 30+ yr fight w/ my MS, still others know how I have used this to advocate for patients. Few know about my recent passion for oil painting. You can read the story about how this happened, read why the studio name, “Fives,” and see

    You have zero credibility. You have zero sources who know anything. And are using anonymous sources as if your name is enough for us to trust them. It doesn’t. I

    If you ever wonder why there’s such an unhinged, outsized, uncivilized reaction to the Trump administration, this is one of the reasons. Dark forces understand their real enemy.

    I’m a former Office of Management and Budget (OMB) staffer, a veteran of the first Trump White House with nearly 40 years in public and private sector experience. It’s with utmost confidence I can say that @russvought is the perfect man to lead OMB. 🧵

    A little late. Journalism has been destroyed by your coverup compliance. I’m not going to pay to hear spin of your own participation in this lie. This story begged for investigative journalism, a little courage & publication of a version of this in 2015, 19, or 21. Fail.

    Biden: "We finally beat Medicare." FACT CHECK - True: In 2022, Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act, raiding Medicare to the tune of $260 billion to pay for EV subsidies and other green initiatives, and harming how cures are delivered. They beat us good.

    I was honored to share my story and speak out for patient’s hope, telling the Congressional committee: “while a cure never discovered may show savings on a CBO spreadsheet, there’s nothing more costly than losing a loved one.” Especially to a health challenge close to being

    Largely because they isolated it from congressional funding and operate with Sith-like unlimited power and staffed from day one with a woke workforce. (Disclosure: I was there 2017-20.)

    The DC swamp is a dirty puddle compared to Albany. Check out our next two episodes to hear how fmr Gov Andrew Cuomo’s 3/24/21 order led to unnecessary Covid nursing home deaths, and an epic coverup. Cuomo-as-savior was quickly over as the party needed him gone before 2-many saw

    SPOT ON! If you want to you understand how healthcare is so expensive, read this. The solution within our grasp. Insuring things unnecessarily, and hiding the cost is at the core. Echoes the smartest minds in healthcare policy @brian_blase @GeBaiDC @RealJoeGrogan @DutchRojas

    Imagine we mandated everyone have car insurance that covers new tires, oil changes, and wiper fluid. People would use more of those services. Sure, some people driving on dangerously bald tires would finally get new ones. You might even prevent the occasional crash. But you’d

    Gotta love how the people who gave us the Affordable Care Act are constantly demanding that people who aren’t in the ACA plans give their tax dollars to subsidize it as its cost becomes ever more unaffordable. George Orwell meet Franz Kafka.

    Can we at least all now agree that the Affordable Care Act is unaffordable?
