The Public Health Crisis Conceptual Model: Historical Application to the World’s First Nuclear Bomb Test. It is always fun to write with friends @MPCouigPhD #mdpisocsci via @SocSci_MDPI

I've been reading Black and Buddhist. There is an excellent chapter on Belonging by LamaDawa Tarchin Phillips that talks of doubt -- Some of the best advice I ever received on the topic of doubt was from another Western teacher and elder who told me, "When you experience doubt, you practice until you overcome your doubt, and then you help others overcome their doubt."

She is studying parasites not DEI. Parasites survive in climates that allow them to thrive and as the climate changes they can survive in new places and potentially put us or other countries at risk of diseases we don’t want. Her research is not DEI related. The hair is another issue…also not DEI but not a good color for her.

@SecRubio @POTUS When? Words mean little when they are being starved to death.

@HenMazzig The photos are horrifying

RT @HenMazzig: What is the point of saying "never again" for 80 years, if the world stays silent when Jews are starved, tortured, and slaug…

@WalshFreedom Know how to pull heart strings.

@SeldenGADawgs @Ga289798Ga @SenTomCotton @elonmusk @DOGE It says from outside of Treasury and expressly does not limit the Secretary's statutory authority.

The order allows civil servants within the Bureau of Fiscal Services to access the information if they need it for their jobs and have passed security checks and training. The Secretary of the Treasury, as the head of the department, is responsible for overseeing Treasury operations, so they would likely qualify to have access The order explicitly restricts political appointees, special government employees, and OUTSIDE agency employees. The Secretary of the Treasury is a political appointee, but they lead the department and typically have statutory authority over Treasury operations, including financial systems. The order does not explicitly mention the Secretary—it focuses on restricting access for other political appointees and outside agency employees who are not part of the Bureau of Fiscal Services. The Secretary's statutory authority likely overrides these restrictions. If laws governing the Treasury Department require the Secretary to have access to financial records, this court order would not override that legal authority as is made clear in the order. In the end I'm not a lawyer, but the entire issue was people doing things outside of their statutory authority and not the things that are within it.

@Ga289798Ga @SeldenGADawgs @SenTomCotton @elonmusk @DOGE it ends with detailed from an agency outside of Treasury after that list.

@SeldenGADawgs @SenTomCotton @elonmusk @DOGE You may hire people through the federal process or your may contract, but the laws of how to do that apply. They cannot go outside of their statutory authority to do so. If the legal filing is correct they went outside of what they have legal authority to do.

@SeldenGADawgs @SenTomCotton @elonmusk @DOGE You can't exceed your statutory authority no matter who you are. As I read it it he can't grant access to...people outside the department.

No, they are saying they can't make decisions outside of their statutory authority, even as a Presidential appointee. They may only do what the law allows them to do and the judge believed it was highly likely that the plaintiffs would win because what was being allowed went beyond the statutory authority.

@SeldenGADawgs @SenTomCotton @elonmusk @DOGE I would have been shocked if the Secretary could not see data. I'm not shocked they said that it exceeded the authority to give access to people outside the department.

@SeldenGADawgs @SenTomCotton @elonmusk @DOGE This isn't true. You can find the ruling. He bared DOGE and not the Secretary. I'm not sure how he got A from B on this.

@PatriciaLWatts @SenTomCotton @Tx_Massacre2 @elonmusk @DOGE He did not.

The federal government provides more charitable funding than churches and other religious organizations. I used to make the same argument you do until I looked at the numbers when I was working for HHS and with Faith-Based Organizations (FBO). There are some FBO that don't take government funds, but most depend on them. The wealthiest Americans contribute the largest absolute dollar amounts to charity. In 2021, the top 1% of earners accounted for nearly 50% of all individual charitable donations.

@WryWrichard I have to find the Chanel

@WryWrichard I like it
