He sounds shaky, but there’s nothing ignorant about his answer. Medicaid’s a joint federal-state program. Seems like he wants to devolve it more to the states (something we did with welfare in 1996) in a way that would let them raise or lower benefits.

He hints at a connection because in both parts he’s discussing “effectiveness” of the vaccine. There are not edits in this section, nor does he pause.

I forget the Charlie Peters party line on ‘blue slips’. Jimmy Carter tried to get rid of them. They seem like a way to cement establishment hold on Fed justice system. But they’re surely a barrier to any president’s authoritarian ambitions, no? They remain in place under Trump https://t.co/Pigki5vP6Y

.@LATimes suggests the cataclysmic Palisades fire was started by an earlier New Year’s Eve fire (itself started by fireworks) that wasn’t quite snuffed out by the Fire Department.
