If both candidates over/under perform polls to the same extent as their parties' candidates did in 2020, here's what the electoral map will look like

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.

🚨 Crowd Turns on Ed Gallrein (Thomas Massie's Opponent) at Campaign Event 🚨 Ed Gallrein has been sending out text messages inviting the public to events in a desperate bid to rehab his image as a candidate willing to engage with voters. It's not working. We now have a second video from one of these events and several members of the crowd turn on him. No wonder he no-showed so many early events and refuses to share a stage with Thomas Massie. The more people actually see him, the more they wonder if he was ever meant to win this race. In the video, a voter directly asks why he won't debate Massie. Gallrein's response? He holds up a Norman Rockwell painting and insists he's "debating Thomas Massie right now" — even though Massie isn't in the room. More audience members pile on with remarks like: "I didn't come here to see your Letterman jacket." When a campaign staffer tries to defuse the situation by claiming Gallrein had answered the question, several people fire back that he hasn't said anything substantive — just waved around props while dodging policy questions. Normally at campaign events, if someone challenges a candidate, parts of the crowd rush to defend them. Here? Multiple people joined in the pushback. That's a massive red flag. I've been told by multiple sources that the campaign is now turning away anyone who looks under 60 at the door — terrified they might actually ask Ed a tough question.

“No corporation should be able to poison people and then run for protection of the Supreme Court and Congress.” Rep. Chellie Pingree just stood in front of the Supreme Court and said she is ready to “fight like hell to keep that from happening.” “They care about their corporate bottom line, and that is it.” “If their product makes you sick, they don’t want to pay up and they don’t want to take responsibility.” “Bayer [has] the full-throated support of the Trump administration at the Supreme Court.” “The other fight we’re in today is that Bayer got Republicans to jam this liability shield into the Farm Bill.” “This should not be a partisan issue.” “I have been an organic farmer in Maine since the 1970s.” “For me, this lifelong fight has been to make sure that everyone has access to healthy food without toxic chemicals, and every farmer has the resources that they need to farm organically and regeneratively.” Today, the House Rules Committee will decide whether to advance Rep. Pingree and Rep. Massie’s Amendment to remove the federal liability shield for pesticides from the 2026 Farm Bill. The future of American agriculture depends on it. “Any Farm Bill that protects chemical companies over American farm families is not pro-farmer, it’s not pro-health, it’s not pro-America.” “It’s a giveaway to Big Chemical.” @chelliepingree

The most important fight of my life isn’t in the ring. I’m not fighting for a belt. I’m fighting for our health.  Processed foods are killing us. We have been lied to and we need to eat real food again.

Washington can be very disappointing. Despite the frustrating nature of government, @SecKennedy faithfully works toward his mission. This year, for his birthday, many of us thought the best thing we could do was to pray for him. Blessings on your success. @RobertKennedyJr

Mom & dad, I’m on television! Thank you so much to @FoxFriendsFirst for having me to talk about the elections in New Jersey & Pennsylvania. New Jersey, you can vote early in-person TODAY until 8 p.m. Pennsylvania, today is the LAST day to request a mail-in ballot. Go vote!

🚨BREAKING — The Most Comprehensive Analysis Ever Conducted on the Causes of Autism Finds Vaccination Is the DOMINANT Risk Factor After decades of censorship and denial, the McCullough Foundation’s Landmark Report of over 300 studies finally delivers the verdict: Autism’s rise is multifactorial—but vaccination is the MOST significant, preventable driver. We found potential determinants of new-onset autism before age 9 to include: 👵Older parents (>35 years mother, >40 years father) 👶Premature delivery (<37 weeks) 🧬 Common genetic variants 🧩 Siblings with autism 🔥 Maternal immune activation 💊 In utero drug exposure ☣️ Environmental toxicants 🦠 Gut–brain axis alterations 💉 And combination routine childhood vaccination Of 136 studies evaluating vaccines or their components: ➡️ 107 (79%) found evidence consistent with a vaccine–autism link ➡️ 29 claimed “no association,” yet lacked truly unvaccinated controls ➡️ 12 studies comparing fully vaccinated vs. unvaccinated children found every time that the unvaccinated had far better overall health and dramatically lower autism risk. Biologic mechanisms converged on shared pathways—immune dysregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation—triggered by clustered and early-timed vaccination during critical windows of brain development. By evaluating all known risk factors side by side, this analysis uniquely clarifies the relative contribution of vaccination compared to genetic and environmental domains. No prior review has attempted this integrative scope without excluding positive vaccine-association studies or unvaccinated controls—an essential step in determining whether vaccines truly play a role in autism risk, and if so, how significant that role is within the broader causal landscape. Our report represents a major breakthrough through the iron grip of censorship imposed by the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex on the issue of vaccination and autism. It also marks Dr. Andrew Wakefield’s first major return to the scientific literature in years—after enduring years of irrational attacks from the vaccine cartel. Thanks to the tireless work of the McCullough Foundation team: Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, John S. Leake, MA, Simon Troupe, MPH, Claire Rogers, MSPAS, PA-C, Kirstin Cosgrove, BM, CCRA, M. Nathaniel Mead, MSc, PhD, Bre Craven, PA-C, Mila Radetich, Andrew Wakefield, MBBS, and Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH — and support from the Bia-Echo Foundation — this historic effort was made possible. CONCLUSION ⬇️ The totality of evidence supports a multifactorial model of ASD in which genetic predisposition, neuroimmune biology, environmental toxicants, perinatal stressors, and iatrogenic exposures converge to produce the phenotype of a post-encephalitic state. Combination and early-timed routine childhood vaccination constitutes the most significant modifiable risk factor for ASD, supported by convergent mechanistic, clinical, and epidemiologic findings, and characterized by intensified use, the clustering of multiple doses during critical neurodevelopmental windows, and the lack of research on the cumulative safety of the full pediatric schedule.
