Sorry to disappoint! I’ve been working and parenting — with a few small breaks — and I wasn’t aware anyone was waiting on my posts!

And yes, as someone who covered HHS for nearly a decade, the former HHS chief of staff pleading guilty to stealing from the HHS secretary is interesting to me.

The whole story is delightfully done and worth your time — if you're in for a penny, you're in for a pound.

I didn’t write that it was taken when he first stood up; it came after he pivoted to look at the man seeking aid, and then he looked away when people were being ushered from the room.

I read the screenshot first and your commentary second, and, yes, I really needed the Oxford comma there. But also, the show that existed in my imagination for a minute would probably be far better than any of the three shows actually described here.

That’s not true — Oz immediately went over, caught the man and cared for him until the White House Medical Unit team arrived.

Respectfully, there were plenty of people who were fixated on the identity of the man and what his collapse allegedly revealed.

A top trending item on X this morning still invokes the "Novo Nordisk executive."

If we can't fix this small, defined error, what does that say about the bigger stuff?

I can only speak for myself — if there's a factual error on my stories, I want to know, and I'll fix it.
