That’s just not true.
No person would be turned away from voting.
Any person without documentation would be able to sign an attestation.
The SAVE America Act does NOT require proof of citizenship for those already registered to vote.
Why don’t you suggest an amendment which would allow remote Alaskan voters to attach a copy of their proof of citizenship + photo ID to an absentee ballot?
It’s completely disingenuous to say you don’t have the time to implement the SAVE America Act
when you could have passed it last year.
It’s equally as bad to say that you support photo ID & proof of citizenship when you won’t even offer suggestions for how to earn your support on this legislation.
Looks like I’ll have to travel to Alaska to ask the voters themselves.
UK police apparently don’t want anyone talking about this man who was attacked by a muslim migrant gang
They told him not to talk about it
So definitely don’t talk about it or share… that would be really bad…
Here’s a cautionary tale—and one reason so many patients have lost trust in conventional medicine. 🙈 (Read to the end)
👉 Them: “I’m the expert. Lower LDL is always better.”
👉 You (or me): Politely ask a direct question to explore the nuances or the underlying evidence.
👉 Response: A personal attack.
That’s not expertise. It’s defensiveness and a transparent signal that the person’s claim exceeds the depth of their understanding.
👉 Them: The same “experts” complain that patients are turning to “influencers” instead of trusting experts.
🚨The worst part?
There are countless brilliant, thoughtful clinicians who genuinely deserve the public’s trust. They acknowledge uncertainty, engage with evidence, and answer difficult questions with curiosity rather than contempt.
Unfortunately, many of those people aren’t the loudest voices among the self-appointed “experts.”
Instead, trust in the medical profession is undermined by a vocal minority who mistake credentials for arguments and résumé lines for evidence.
Patients lose trust when sincere questions are met with arrogance instead of answers.
Trust me — I’ve been that patient

I thought the ASPCA ran most animal shelters.
I was wrong.
They collect more than $300 million (Those sad commercials with dogs in cages are a gold mine) in donations, but spend only 2% of that on shelters.
Where does the money go?:
At the Rapid City airport heading back to DC
& more folks are positively coming up to me.
They can’t believe that I was denied entry from the dinner
& I asked them to vote in the South Dakota gubernatorial runoff on Tuesday, July 28th.
Video reached a lot of South Dakotans.
It's not your decision to make, Bernie, whether a price is "unacceptable." That belongs to the people making the purchase, not a government bureaucrat who imagines he knows what a thing ought to cost. If the price is too high, men don't buy it, and Apple lowers it. That is the only authority required: the free judgment of the buyer.
You want to talk greed? Greed is wanting what you did not earn and seizing it by force. Cook offered you a phone you are free to refuse. You offer the public nothing and demand the power to dictate terms to a company you never built, with money you never made.
Apple's "profits" are millions of voluntary choices to trade. Your career is the opposite: taking by law what men would not give you by choice. One of you produced the value. The other just wants the power to command it.
The greed isn't in Cupertino. It's in the Senate seat that confuses a vote with ownership of other people's work.
I hope @LeaderJohnThune sees this message…
“I hope you're watching this. You, John, are a coward, traitor, spineless, nutless.
The American people, 85% of us, want the Save America Act passed. And you're running home for 19 days and then going back to DC for a couple days and then taking a month off.
You're a f*cking coward. Do your f*cking job or resign.
And to the 52 other GOP senators who aren't calling for John Thune's removal, pathetic. You guys should be ashamed of yourself. Each one of you should be in front of a camera right now demanding that John Thune's removed.
To everybody else, happy Thursday.”
If you live in South Dakota, I urge you to join the South Dakota Republican Party.
The Chairman of the SDGOP is @JimEschenbaum.

When a man fails, they look inward at the mistakes they made so they can avoid making the same mistakes again.
When a narcissist fails, they blame everyone and everything except themselves.
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.
Tod Hipsher is a retired captain from the Los Angeles County Fire Department
He says TMZ contacted him trying to get him to give details on Spencer Pratt staying in a hotel
He implies this is disgusting behavior from TMZ
“TMZ — They called me, they found me, the retired fire captain that's posting about Spencer Pratt. They wanted to talk to me about him living in the Bel-Air Hotel, which, you know, the guy just actually lost his whole house. His, you know, family is unsafe. He's running for political candidacy of mayor of Los Angeles, which is an absolute shithole, needs help. It's on life support.
And they're worried about where the guy's staying? He deserves to stay in a nice place. You know, he's going to make a change and we need to keep supporting him. So Let's support Spencer Pratt”
TMZ is trash. There’ll have candid discussions about how Los Angeles has been destroyed and then in the same breath tell you to keep voting Democrat
You know what it is, they are a new organization that needs the chaos and destruction. They need the stories. They are profiting off the misery of LA residents
The mayor of Charlotte, NC asks that we not post about this lady murdered on a Charlotte train by a repeat offender with 14 prior arrests!
I say in Iryna’s memory please share and make this go viral! A repeat offender with 14 prior arrests should not be roaming the streets of ANY city! They should be locked up!! Epic failure in the justice system!
