@mimibrowntv @breakfastclubam Are you planning on interviewing Austin Metcalf's parents? Let me know when. I'd like to watch.

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

OH MY GOSH!

I don’t know what to say.

President Trump just called for the SAVE America Act to be attached to budget reconciliation 3.0.

Reconciliation packages only require a simple majority in the Senate.

This means that we could secure our elections with 51 votes.

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

Sheryl. Your article exemplifies the biased reporting we have come to expect from you and @nytimes. It was unfair, inimical, and inaccurate. All one needs to refute your argument is to glance at my publicly available calendar and to review my unprecedented list of accomplishments on a wide range of issues, all of which I drove. You evidently never undertook these foundational due diligences. Why let facts obscure a good story?

You fault me for missing a couple of monthly counselor meetings. However, I meet one-on-one with my counselors every day to decide policy and strategy. We schedule the monthly meetings to give the divisions a chance to keep each other informed about HHS-wide policies with which I’m already intimately familiar. Had you read my calendar, you would have seen that I have back-to-back meetings all day, every day, with both career and political staff, with my counselors and with outside stakeholders, interspersed with press conferences and other policy announcements.

I am knowledgeable and active on every issue in every division of my department, and I always make the final decisions. I meet with the principals at FDA, NIH, CDC, and my senior counselor every morning, something, I’m told, is unprecedented in HHS history. I try to get out of the office between 4:30 and 6:00 PM, so that I can spend three hours, in quiet, responding to emails. I normally work until 11 PM every night, mostly on phone calls to staff.

In order to prove your preconceived case for my disengagement, you quote anonymous employees, some of whom I fired or who quit to avoid being fired. You also deceptively quote HHS employees without identifying whether they were among those I fired, thereby depriving your readers of the opportunity to make an independent judgment about their credibility.

I came into this job to change the culture of a broken agency that has presided over the worst decline in public health in American history. Of course I fired people—lots of them! It's an easy task for even the laziest journalist, to comb that flotsam and jetsam for malevolence toward the Trump administration. And of course, this species of journalist will always be able to find disgruntled individuals among the 70,000 employees of the Department from whom to cherry pick "facts" to flesh out a preordained hit piece. All that is required for this brand of journalism is the ethical elasticity that you seem to have in spades. You had a preconceived thesis, and you set out to prove it. This is a widely accepted technique in journalism today, but I grew up in an era when it would not have been tolerated by the New York Times.

Ultimately, God puts us all on this earth to search for existential truths. I've tried to instill this mission at HHS by implementing gold standard research to end the regime of politicized science that COVID exposed to the American public. There was a time that journalists were proud to be the fearless and uncompromising champions of truth. Standards have devolved, and journalism is dead. The Times now employs propagandists. Your capitulation to partisanship further compounds your journalistic challenges; since we all are aware of your predictable bias, we at HHS are unwilling to talk to you about the topics that are important. The fact that you have minimal access to decision makers leaves you covering trivia and relying on your own capacity for invention.

Btw. When I took this job, the building was empty. About 90% of the employees were not coming to work. I changed that, but your newspaper never covers my reforms. Nor did you cover the fact that my predecessor almost never showed up for work here during his four years in office. When we came in, there were still artifacts from the first Trump administration in many of our office drawers because no one showed up for work during the Biden years. Just as Rochelle Walensky spent her entire term as CDC Director in Cambridge, Xavier Becerra reportedly spent most of his term as HHS Secretary in California. (I live in California, but I’ve only been there once in fifteen months).

His only notable accomplishments here were losing 300,000 children, referred to HHS for custody and care, to human traffickers and drug runners, encouraging transgender surgeries, and disabling the entire program-integrity apparatus, allowing hundreds of billions of dollars of theft from my agency. I have set out to find the children Becerra lost. He is now the front-runner for the governor of California. These are not invented stories; they are genuine scandals that the Times will never cover, presumably, because the malefactors are Democrats.

Finally, you criticize me for spending time with the Indian tribes in Alaska. I consider that part of my job. I run the Indian Health Services, and I’ve had unprecedented success in transforming IHS from a backwater to a top priority for this department. I’ve made more trips to Indian country and to Indian health clinics and hospitals than any HHS secretary in history, and I’ve brought Indians into high positions on the sixth floor for the first time in agency history. This is another success story that the Times will never cover.

The parents are to blame as much as Karmelo.

Say what you want about me, but I would never marry my brother.

OMG

Jen Lima, a school board member at North Kingstown School Department in Rhode Island shared a letter to Austin Metcalf’s dad blaming him for his son’s murder because he “failed to teach him that black boys have boundaries.”

Holy CRAP.

Trump ORDERS the United States Postal Service to NOT deliver ballots to any state that is hiding it's voter rolls.

The USPS is a federal agency under Trump’s control.

Very smart!

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. ActBlue just PLED THE 5TH and REFUSED to answer about getting foreign donations infiltrating US politics on behalf of Democrats

She wouldn't even refute getting RUSSIAN money! 🤯

ActBlue is a FRAUD group. Shut it down!

REP. JIM JORDAN: Your board chairman said ActBlue accepted up to 38 million contributions in 2024 that had the signs of foreign origin. How much fraud is too much fraud?

ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.

JORDAN: How many foreign contributions did ActBlue accept?

ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.

JORDAN: How much money did ActBlue accept from Russia?

ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.

JORDAN: Why did your entire legal team quit? Your in-house legal team?

ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.

JORDAN: Did your legal team quit because of reduced fraud standards?

ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.

JORDAN: We won't keep you here all day, but let me just do one more. Did you weaken your fraud standards to help Democrats?

ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.

Absolutely insane.

[USA NEWS 🇺🇸 @usanewshq]

Time for a huge wrongful death lawsuit!

Karmelo Anthony’s family drives away in their luxury car after raising close to $1,000,000 for murder…

My team and I would like to help fund the lawsuit! We are taking that car and their mansion. If anyone knows the Metcalf’s directly, please help me contact them.

[Brilyn Hollyhand @BrilynHollyhand]

We loathed Obama like you loathed Trump.

Except we loathed Obama because he loathed America.

You loathe Trump because you loathe America.

[James Woods @RealJamesWoods]

Democrats are the Party of Unity.

They have finally brought the Communists and Nazis together as one!

[Rep. Anna Paulina Luna @RepLuna]

We have Democrats nominating an actual DEI Nazi to the Senate.

We have Act Blue funding Democrat campaigns with foreign money.

And we have a Democrat Governor covering up election fraud in California.

But please continue to say that Trump is the problem.

Oh yeah, and don’t forget the terrorist sympathizer they nominated in NJ.

Total freaks.

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

Democrat Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer was caught on hot mic with Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk, INSULTING locals and bragging about how she ignores their concerns.

“We’re used to people saying 'f*ck no,' and doing it anyway.”

Democrats don't care about you.

Black guy PUNCHES a random White man in the face because he thinks he was on Karmelo Anthony's jury selection

He also threatens his life saying, "You gonna die."

How is this not a hate crime? @fbi

[Reverend Jordan Wells @WellsJorda89710]

We have lost our minds.

A jury convicted Karmelo Anthony of murder for stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf to death. Evidence was presented. Witnesses testified. Self-defense was rejected. He got 35 years.
That’s not a “legal lynching.” That’s justice.

Crying racism because the killer is Black and the victim was White doesn’t change the facts: actions have consequences.
Austin is dead. His family grieves. The system worked.

Stop excusing violence.
#JusticeForAustin #RuleOfLaw #NoMoreExcuses

[Derrick Evans @DerrickEvans4WV]

After Karmelo Anthony is found guilty, I hope the Metcalf family sues them for all of the money they raised and more.

[MaryAnn Martinez @MaryAnnreports]

Austin Metcalf's dad, Jeff, just unloaded on Karmelo Anthony.
"We were robbed, don't look down, of all of these things."
"I said from day one, this was never about race, please don't politicize it. But what did you choose to do, both. It's about right and wrong. We're all humans. We all bleed the same color.
"You're free to make choices all you want, but you're not free from those consequences. You will face those consequences starting today." 
"People think that grief is sadness but its not. IT"S RAGE!!! (slamming his hands on the table.) Pure unfiltered rage,' he shouts.
"You failed your parents, your failed yourself and you failed society, You don't belong in this community," he says to Karmelo.
"You're going to prison, You can't even look me in the eyes right now but you can stab my fu**ing son in the heart."
