It has come to my attention that Washington Post reporter @nakashimae appears to be actively harassing ODNI staff. Instead of reaching out to my press office, she is calling high level Intelligence Officers from a burner phone, refusing to identify herself, lying about the fact…
Michelle Obama was vilified for pushing healthy food and bans on trans fat. Now, many of her opponents have embraced RFK Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again. I asked her top nutrition adviser, Sam Kass, what he makes of this new world. For @politico ⤵️ politico.com/news/magazine/…

Elon Musk’s physical confrontation with Treasury Secretary Bessent, as recounted by Stephen Bannon:
I've referred to the challenges @JohnArnoldFndtn describes in implementing Medicaid work requirements as rationing health coverage through complexity.
