Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

Dear media,
As you report on another inexcusable act of violence by ICE against the American people, remember:
HOMELAND SECURITY LIES ROUTINELY AS A MATTER OF POLICY.
If you feel compelled to include the Trump regime's version of events, you must include that context.
Thank you.

This entire admin has the mentality of a rapist.

And the rest are willing to go along and support rapists because they are self-serving and amoral.

Hard to fall any farther than Trump calling on the "journalist" from Lindell TV, who basically throws him a kiss with her plumped up Mar-a-lago lips.

If Renee Good is a "a domestic terrorist" according to Kristi Noem it means the label is meaningless and will be used by the Trump Administration to murder anyone it wants.

From Venezuelan fishermen to anti Trump protestors in the No Kings Rally.

$20 Billion for an Argentina bank bail out to help Trump's rich friends
$173 Million for Kristi Noem's jet
$250 Million for a ballroom only billionaires have access to, not you

Millions are about to see healthcare costs rise & farmers are going bankrupt, and suddenly there's $0 for them

As a result of President Trump’s suspension of foreign aid, hundreds of USAID shipments of antimalarial and HIV medical supplies arrived late at regional warehouses in dozens of countries.

Many did not arrive at all. The consequences were deadly. https://wapo.st/4mEo6NZ

Standing Together in the Wake of the CDC Tragedy

Dear colleagues,

As many of you have heard, a tragic shooting occurred yesterday at the CDC’s Roybal Campus in Atlanta. One police officer, David Rose, lost his life in the line of duty. Our prayers are with the officer’s wife and three children, one of them unborn.

I also send my prayers out to the entire CDC family β€” especially those directly impacted. We know how deeply unsettling this is, particularly for those working in Atlanta. The shock and uncertainty that follow incidents like this are real, and they affect us all in different ways.

We want everyone to know, you’re not alone. Leadership is in close coordination with CDC teams to ensure support is available on the ground. Any HHS staff feeling the weight of this tragedy can call the SAMHSA Disaster Distress 24/7 Helpline at 1-800-985-5990.

This is a reminder of the very human challenges public servants sometimes face β€” even in places dedicated to healing and progress. But it also reinforces the importance of the work you do every day. From public health labs to data systems to community programs, your efforts matter. They move us closer to our shared goal: making this country healthier, safer, and more resilient.
We’ll get through this the same way we approach our mission β€” together.

In solidarity,

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

RFKJ, will there be enough staff at SAMHSA to answer our calls since you fired most of them?

And which part of our work is important? COVID vaccines? Violence prevention (also fired).

We don’t need your platitudes. We need you to stop telling lies that are putting our lives in danger.

A precinct in Rockland County, NY registered 80% of votes for Gillibrand and 0 votes for Harris

The NY Supreme Court ordered a lawsuit about the discrepancy to continue yesterday.

RFK Jr. Is as Bad as We All Imagined If it walks like a quack, talks like a quack, and quacks like a quack. . .

Things could get very ugly very quickly. And folks like Senator Cassidy, who allowed this to happen, have a unique responsibility to try and stop itβ€”if that’s even possible at this juncture.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

RFK Jr. ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines.

RFK Jr.β€˜s extreme anti-vax views β€” and his related conflicts of interest β€” were a huge problem during his confirmation process.

So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.

Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.
