Biden, Like His Predecessors, Must Not Abuse Power To Appoint “Acting” Officers
Walter OlsonFrom a recent Washington Post report by Matt Viser, Seung Min Kim, and Annie Linskey, it looks as if President ‐Elect Joe Biden is being urged to end‐run the Senate’s advise and consent function in some of the same ways that presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama did before him:A Republican ‐held Senate — or even one with a narrow Democratic majority — probably will affect Biden’s Cabinet picks given the Senate’s power to confirm nominees.One option being discussed is appointing Cabinet members in an acting capacity, a tactic that Trump also used.“Just by virtue of th...

What If It ’s Close on Election Day?
Ilya ShapiroWe can all hope that the presidential election goes off without major hitches and that a winner emerges through the normal process of counting ballots. But even if nothing nefarious happens, close races in key states may not allow us to know a winner on Election Day, or even the next day. The pandemic has led to changes in election administration that have led to an unprecedented number of absentee and mail-in ballots, which in some states don ' t get counted until polls close on regular in-person voting. Even if everything goes smoothly, recounts may be triggered, either automatic or at the request of the losi...

Interstate licensure for telehealth can fuel medical practice growth
When it comes to using telehealth to treat patients out of state, most physicians are mindful about licensure issues. But some are not aware that if you don ’t have a license to practice medicine in a given state, it isn’t just malpractice: It’s a criminal offense. Licensing restrictions have been eased to facilitate care during […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com. Search thousands of physician, PA, NP, and CRNA jobs now. Learn more.

“Acting” Officers Can’t Act Forever, and Their Rules Are Illegitimate
Ilya ShapiroA core component of the balance of powers between the executive and legislative branches is the Senate ’s role to advise and consent to the appointment of officers. Under the Appointments Clause of Article II, federal officials are nominated by the president with the “advice and consent of the Senate.”However, and this should come as no surprise to anyone, the Senate is not an efficient body; there are often delays with the appointment process, both due to unexpected vacancies, and general political gridlock. Knowing this, Congress enacted theFederal Vacancies Reform Act (FVRA) which allows the president ...

Portland and the Paramilitarization of the Border Patrol
Paul MatzkoUnidentified, camouflage ‐wearing federal agents carrying military‐style equipment have been caught onvideoabducting people in Portland, Oregon. They do not bother to make formal arrests, read the captured their rights, or even announce the reason for detainment. The fact that the number of those abducted thus far appears small and that they have later been released without charges being filed does not make the abuse of basic civil liberties less shocking.The deployment was ordered by Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf, who has said he is willing to send similar units to other cities that ...

H-1B Workers Are Helping to Save Jobs During the COVID-19 Recession
Alex NowrastehThe large increase in unemployment during the COVID-19 pandemic, caused byindividual changes in behavior andgovernment policies, have prompted the Trump administration to consider suspending many temporary work visa programs. Among those visa programs on the chopping block is theH-1B visa for skilled foreign workers. In 2019,two ‐thirds of migrants received the H-1B visa to work in computer ‐related occupations with many of them employed in the information technology (IT) sector. IT is an important source ofproductivity growth, but it became more obvious how important it was for saving employment op...

Five Steps White People (Myself Included) Can Take in Response to Systemic Racism
Here are some things that I am trying to do:
Understand that Black Lives Matter. Some people are inclined to say that “all lives matter,” and of course all lives do matter. But as John and Ocean Robbins shared in a recent post (and I paraphrase): If a house is burning down, you don’t call the fire department and say “all houses matter”; instead you focus on and send help to the specific house that is burning. Black people have endured unspeakable individual and collective traumas of a nature that I/we (the privileged white) can never truly understand. This trauma has occurred in their past, AND it is a part of...

Don ’t Ban H-1B Workers: They are Worth Their Weight in Innovation
Alex NowrastehThe Trump Administration is reportedly working on anexecutive order to ban the issuance of new H-1B visas. His order is expected to be issued before the end of this month. His order would be quite a negative blow to the U.S. economy and hit American economic innovation the hardest. The H-1B visa system has problems: It ’s unreasonably costly to change firms, workers are restrained from starting their own firms, and the wait times to adjust their status to a green card are absurdly long. Complete H-1B worker portability between firms, allowing workers to sponsor themselves if they start a firm...

Research Provides No Basis for Pandemic Travel Bans
CONCLUSIONThe pre ‐COVID‐19 research is unanimous that governments cannot expect to rely on travel restrictions to prevent the spread of pandemics similar to influenza. Travel restrictions do not prevent the spread of disease and may only delay it for a few days or weeks if implemented prior to the interna tional transmission of the disease. The Trump administration’s travel restrictions waited until after the virus had already entered the United States, and they exempted many travelers from China, not to mention the rest of the world.[30]The research shows that the Trump administration should have known that ...

Red Fife Country Sourdough
Tartine Country White Sourdough made with Red Fife Whole Wheat
If you noticed an absence of bread on my Instagram feeds of late, it’s because I’ve been experimenting with heritage grains in my sourdough bread. And let’s just say the results, until now, have not been not exactly picture worthy. Low rise, dense crumb, and a rock-hard crust. Reminds me of my days working in a summer camp kitchen, where I frequently overcooked the dinner rolls. My kitchen mates took to calling them hockey pucks and treated them accordingly by shoving them with push brooms across the bakery floor. Bigger than hockey pucks, ...
