@JamesTate121 well, they couldn't stay away from drinking piss for too long

Remember when MAGA were destroying Bud Light in all ways possible. Now they get watch fights promoted by it.

that's what was missing BlueCross Shylocks. ffs

*smile break*

@Acyn you are talking about tweenagers.

Rubio: If you've been to UFC fights and I've been to many and you look into the crowd, I mean the crowd is as diverse as you can imagine and I'm not talking about ethnic background, I'm talking about economic background. I'm talking about social background, I'm talking about geographic.

@SecKennedy @nytimes please resign and go collect roadkill. you are a revolting human.

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.

@SecRubio what happened to you, man

Today, I am sanctioning Cuba’s state-owned energy company, Unión Cuba-Petróleo (CUPET), under President Trump’s EO 14404. Cuba’s Communist elites have weaponized energy as a tool of social control and kleptocratic profit. For decades, the regime has stolen and hoarded available fuel — using it for the Castros’ private jet, the security services forces used to repress the Cuban people, to keep empty tourist hotels lit up, and to bus people in for fake protests and political stunts — all while the Cuban people have suffered blackouts and waited weeks to fill their cars. President Trump wants a new future for the Cuban people with greater economic and political freedom and opportunity. Until then, we will continue to target the Communist regime’s ability to leverage its energy trade to further its corrupt agenda and violently repress the Cuban people.

Who knows what the President meant when he said he loves the inflation - but it's clear that inflation keeps getting worse, while he stays focused on anything but the cost of living. This is an election year! He may not be on the ballot, but his protectors and enablers in Congress are. It's time to send a message.

@travelingflying not modest tho

I’m proud to be everything they hate: – White – Straight – Christian – Traditional – Conservative - ICE supporter - Trump supporter – Patriotic – Hard-working – Anti-woke – Pro-veterans – Pro-life – Pro-family – Believer in merit – Gender realist - MAGA - America first - Pro‑common sense – Proud capitalist – Defender of free speech – Supporter of secure borders

Rubio: President Kennedy announced that we were going to put a man on the moon. We did it. We are a nation founded on doing what no one else dared to do. And at some level, that's what this whole company, what UFC has been

The Federal Reserve released data on Trump's tariffs. They found that corporations passed tariff costs off to consumers almost entirely. That raised inflation of core goods by 3.1%. We won't get a penny of the refunds, though. The corporations will. It's a tax scam.

@Acyn please talk to some other humans. not everyone likes fighting.

White: It doesn't matter what color you are, what country you come from, what language you speak—we're all human beings and fighting's in our DNA. We get it and we like it. I spent many times trying to figure out cricket, never gonna happen, but fighting in any language as humans, we all get it.

@amandacarpenter then I'll be sad I wasn't watching it live

So, hypothetically, what happens if the giant 600lb steel-armed UFC claw turns into a literal lighting rod during a highly predictable summer storm? forbes.com/sites/maryroel…

@chuerta1 there's probably something in that

New reporting reveals that Trump administration officials demanded the New Mexico AG close his investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch in 2019.

A Fourth of July parade only works when people believe the promise. This year, too many Americans are asking whether that promise was ever meant for them at all.
