Excited to join the San Diego County Taxpayers Association @sdcta as their new President & CEO! It’s a great year for Taxpayers to do what it does best—analyze local government policy proposals and ballot measures to help voters make informed decisions.

@jcroe @KamalaHarris Can she do it for another six weeks? And stops in VA and NJ are a must.

.@KamalaHarris book tour is going to be amazing. Word salads, nonsense, and no friends.

NEW: Kamala Harris says she couldn’t pick Pete Buttigieg as her running mate because he is gay and there was only 107 days. Maddow: To say that he couldn't be on the ticket effectively because he was gay, it's hard to hear. Harris: No no no that's not what I said… with the stakes being so high, it made me very sad, but I also realized it would be a real risk. She denied the accusation then admitted it was true?

ESPN Sources: Cowboys are trading three-time All-Pro LB Micah Packers to the Green Bay Packers.
Parsons and the Packers already have reached agreement on a four-year, $188 million contract. @DavidMulugheta of @Athletesfirst had a hand in the trade and ultimately negotiating the record-breaking contract that includes $120 million fully guaranteed at signing and makes Parsons the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history.

@MattRexroad Correct. But in theory, since the Texas Ds left the state to stop a quorum they have delayed it enough that when California passes their bills to go on the ballot this week, Texas Rs could redraw their maps and give Rs more seats then currently drawn.

@GrantCardone FEMA is the Federal Government not state government

It’s Official - California is a Land Grab
Just informed by FEMA in California if your home was affected by fires and required to spend more than 50% of previous homes value you will be forced to raise the entire property structure to new “flood water” requirements. I will be forced to raise a perfectly good property 3-4 feet at a cost of $40-50M.
This will make it impossible for anyone to rebuild adding years to completion. Everything the California govt suggested about coastal approvals, fast tracking etc was a lie.

@Irish_Cowboy88 Then when he retired from football he started The Staubach Company. It was a commercial real estate firm. He sold it for $600 million to JLL.

People ask me why I think Roger Staubach is one of the all time greats. They look up his stats and say he doesn’t have the numbers. Then I remind him he spend 4 years of his prime serving his country, including the Vietnam war. ✭ 🐐 🇺🇸

I feel bad for people too young to have know about Alan Simpson. There wasn't a funnier, more interesting, more insightful voice in American politics. I have missed his voice over the last 20+ years but man was it fun to come of age with him in the Senate.

@AugieNash Yeah but he was only 22-9 with a 1.12 era. Crazy stats.

@marcjoffe @elonmusk @VivekGRamaswamy @DOGE maybe look at Bay Area Rapid Transit for federal funds they receive. Here’s a start

Today is the last @SFBART board meeting for 4 departing Directors (incl me). I wanted to leave my colleagues with a final gift. But, what does one give to 8 #SanFrancisco Bay Area elected #Democrat directors? They seem to have everything they need.
Given BART exhausts the $ billions in federal and state emergency funds in early 2026, yet expects to face ongoing $350M+ annual operating deficits far beyond, I thought they may need a backup "lifeline", just in case bay area taxpayers say no to increased taxes. So I gave them each this lifeline tool, just in case...

The key is the contracts CEOs of self insured companies sign. You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE
Let’s start with the pharmacy side. I haven’t seen your contracts, but I already know that if you have a contract with a big PBM you:
1. Don’t control your claims data
2. Don’t control your formulary
3. Have to pay more for “Specialty Drugs” that have nothing special about them
4. Get rebates that are paid for by your sickest and oldest employees and result in higher deductibles and co-pays that impact the wellness of your workers and their families.
5. Cause independent pharmacies to be reimbursed for less than their costs for brand drug scripts for your employees and families. Causing them to go out of business
6. Can’t talk to manufacturers to put together wellness programs for things like GLP1s
7. Signed a PBM contract with an NDA which prevents you from publicly discussing your PBM contract , resulting in an opaque, inefficient market, which leads to higher prices and lower quality of care for the entire country
All of this allows the big PBMs to continue to distort the pharmacy market for literally EVERYONE
I don’t know cars or rockets, but I know how to land healthcare in a net that saves millions of people an un quantifiable amount of money. Without legislation.
It starts and ends with educating CEOs like yourself, of self insured companies, to do what is in the best interest of their employees and families.
And FYI , google the ERISA lawsuits against JJ and Wells Fargo. They will be ubiquitous class action lawsuits coming for all CEOs next.
If DOGE extends its mandate to educating CEOs, about how to Direct Contract with providers and how to work with Pass Through PBMs, then you can change the balance of power in healthcare and change how healthcare in this country works
