Happy Birthday to our great President @realDonaldTrump! 45 and 47 – thank you for your tireless service to this nation and for never stopping the fight to Make America Great Again!

Governor Lombardo is not taking criticism from a guy who spent 420 days out of the state on special interest funded travel. He claims he is working for hardworking Nevada families - will he explain how a luxurious trip to Paris helped lower costs, improve schools, or make communities safer? And while vacationing in Paris, Ford was wearing a campaign t-shirt. Was he trying to win over Nevada voters or French tourists? Hard to tell.

Fact: Aaron Ford was out of Nevada for 420 days while in office, collecting a taxpayer-funded salary. It’s rich that Ford wants to criticize while he remains under investigation for accepting tens of thousands of dollars in luxury travel backed by corporations and special interests. Nevadans are still waiting to hear how luxurious vacations to places like Singapore, South Africa, and Martha’s Vineyard were helping them. He has 0 credibility.

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.

Happy National Best Friend Day to our favorite trio: Aaron Ford, Kamala Harris, and Joe Biden! Nothing says true friendship like abandoning your official job in Nevada for 420 days, including campaigning for your besties’ failed presidential bid.

Congratulations to our next County Commissioner for District F @heidikasamanv! She will be a tireless advocate for our people! On to November!

🚨 President @realDonaldTrump has endorsed our campaign in NV-2! I’m ready to fight for President Trump, Nevada and America! Link: truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT…

🚨 VICTORY 🚨 Thank you to the voters in the 3rd District for putting your trust in me, thank you to President Trump and Governor Lombardo for their support, and thank you to my family for being with me on this journey. But the work has only just begun. Susie Lee is a self-enriching, out of touch, radical left politician who is nothing but a cog in a Democrat Party machine that seeks nothing but power for themselves while making our nation poor, miserable, and less free. The contrast between Susie Lee and myself couldn't be more. Together, we are going to beat her and continue delivering a secure border, a resilient economy, safe streets, peace through strength, and good old fashion common sense. It's officially GAME ON— from now until November 3rd.

Thank you so much to the voters of Nevada’s First Congressional District! It is an honor to be your Republican Nominee and I look forward to serving you in Congress. #NV01

I'm honored and humbled by the results tonight. A special thank you to @JoeLombardoNV, @realDonaldTrump & the voters who placed their trust in me. It's been an honor to speak with Nevadans about the issues they face & I'm honored they chose me to represent them in the General.

I support Governor @JoeLombardoNV and you should too! Grab a friend and GO VOTE! keystonenevada.com/nevada-vo…
