Former @CMSGov, @NEDHHS, @LADeptHealth. Louisianan turned Texan. @LSU and @UAB_SHP alum. Married to the much smarter Dr. @AleeLockman. Opinion = my own

[Calder Lynch @calderlynch]

Thrilled that @LAGovJeffLandry has asked Bruce to return to @LADeptHealth. He is a transformative leader who has selflessly mentored so many, myself included, and challenged us all to think big & never be constrained by the status quo. https://t.co/kQGU9t9ctk

The new STAR and CHIP Medicaid managed care awards considered past performance and required health plans to demonstrate how they will innovate and meet the higher bar and demands of the new contract, including improved service coordination and efforts to combat fraud, waste, and abuse. #txlege

[Texas Managed Care Alliance @TXManagedCare]

In Texas, accountability and transparency in state spending aren't just expected; they're demanded. Let’s champion a system that works for all Texans. #FairProcurement #txlege

[Calder Lynch @calderlynch]

@sangerkatz Looks like they are calling out New York, Louisiana, Texas, and California.

[Calder Lynch @calderlynch]

Great news coming out today that Drew Snyder - @SnyGuy - is taking the helm @MedicaidGov. He was a great partner during my time @CMSGov and a solid leader in Mississippi. He will do a fantastic job! https://t.co/ifxbWVV9q5

[Calder Lynch @calderlynch]

Excited to see the news that @Steph_C_Texas is headed to @CMSGov. She’s smart, thoughtful, and tough. Can’t think of anyone better for the job!

@OGFC3 @amazon @AmazonHelp @JeffBezos That MIGHT make up for making me fly without an iPad tomorrow.

[Calder Lynch @calderlynch]

Great customer service @amazon closing your satellite pickup location at least 30 mins before the posted closing time. I guess I won’t have these items for my trip tomorrow. @AmazonHelp

[Alee Lockman @aleelockman]

Very grateful for the opportunity to contribute to a special section of @MiddleWestRev discussing all things rural politics and reviewing "White Rural Rage.”

(And now that I have my copy, I’m excited to dive into the other thoughtful reviews by many scholars I’ve long admired!)

[Calder Lynch @calderlynch]

We dream of West Wing.

We get Veep.

[Calder Lynch @calderlynch]

Yes this is very logical to do the Sunday before Thanksgiving.

[Lake Charles Traffic @LC_Traffic]

The right lane is blocked on I-10 East at Mile Marker 2 (Vinton) due to roadwork. Congestion has reached 4 miles.

[Calder Lynch @calderlynch]

Go Dr. @aleelockman!

[Texas A&M Public Health @TAMU_SPH]

Welcome new faculty to @TAMU_SPH!

[Calder Lynch @calderlynch]

@aleelockman @ashrestha97 Oh you’ll be fine. That’s what central air is for. 😆

[Calder Lynch @calderlynch]

Are hotels just never going to bring pens and notepads back?

[Calder Lynch @calderlynch]

I’m so incredibly proud and excited to be future Mr. Dr. Lockman. Texas, here we come! 🤠

[Alee Lockman @aleelockman]

I successfully defended my dissertation! I’m incredibly grateful to my amazing committee — @ermeara @MariamKA_1 & Andrea Campbell— for their support and mentorship through this process.

Up next: I’m excited to be joining @TAMU_SPH as an assistant professor this fall!

[Calder Lynch @calderlynch]

@emma_sandoe @EGolberstein @saynikpay @tradeoffspod @smilleralert @LaurawherryR @onceuponA @johngraves9 @MelindaBBuntin @j_a_benitez @LynnBlewett @meg_ammula @KHNews @medicaidwonk @statemedicaid I’m fairly certain this first came to be on our series of regular all state webinars that we held during 2020. Who first used the word I can’t recall!

[Calder Lynch @calderlynch]

So it's a vast no-wing conspiracy?

Exclusive: Chinese balloon is part of a vast aerial surveillance program run by the People’s Liberation Army. The spy balloon effort operates in Hainan province off China’s south coast and has for years collected military intelligence, U.S. officials said. https://t.co/R2LsRLD9GH

@EWRairport I’ve been sitting here at your new terminal for 20 mins waiting to deplane because the new jet bridge is apparently broken.

[Calder Lynch @calderlynch]

I was looking forward to seeing the new Terminal A @EWRairport but apparently the brand new jet bridge does not work. 😑 @JetBlue
