Yes. We're applying to the NIH now to get a system I implemented into their genetics initiative. If that happens I will have piece of cake megabuck consulting gig as long as I want it.

Mik, I’ve run a genetics test… And I love you, father!

I think LD just called me a motherfucker.

It is a long shot, but from his cabnet pics Trump on this shot may be one of the great Presidents ever. He's shaking things up. And that is a VERY good thing.

Buy Pete.

Not a lot. Not the rent money. But it's worth a few bucks.

Surgeon General: Dr. Janette Nesheiwat

I know this has no effect on her ability to be surgeon general, but what a tragic story. But may be why she became a doctor.

Donald Trump’s nominee for US surgeon general – Dr Janette Nesheiwat – accidentally knocked over a gun when she was 13 years old, causing it to fire and fatally shoot her father in the head.

TG you follow true crime, so you must know how many times people try to use that story. I hope in her case it's true.

ETA: I linked Dhillon's interview with TuCa regarding Harris's history and qualifications.

It feels like we’re really digging into the weeds with the Trump picks. Is it because he’s posting them so early?

Rubio confirmed 99-0.

That one makes sense at least.

Hegseth and Ratcliffe have secured committee votes.

[Jolly]

Heard on the GOP senators today, complain about Schumer. The Dems are dragging, maybe on purpose.

The Republicans have proposed creating two tiers of hearings. The A block is nominees with a very high chance of confirmation. The C block would be for the nominees with the most opposition. The B block would be all other nominees.

So far, no deal.

I was going to ask who didn’t vote but it must be Rubio himself.

But wait - Vance resigned last week. Did Rubio vote for himself?

[George K]

If it had been me, and I saw the way the vote was headed, I would have voted "Present."

[Mik]

Nah. It's a poor dog that won't wag his own tail.

[jon-nyc]

I don’t fault him for it but I’d also have abstained.
