The letter is specific: LAHSA’s “repeated false statements” and “irresponsible actions and failures, including its lack of financial management, internal controls and safeguards against conflicts of interest, pose a threat to HUD, the public and those living on the streets of L.A.” Los Angeles County has already pulled its own funding.

Instead, Soofer bought a $𝟕 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐝, a $125,000 Range Rover, and spent freely on private jet travel and luxury-hotel stays.

Not because expunging the record reverses the constitutional mechanics — impeachment is a House act, and the votes happened — but because the public record should accurately reflect what those proceedings actually were. Both impeachments were launched by Democrats who had decided, before the first article was drafted, to use the constitutional process as a political weapon. The Durham Report, the declassified Crossfire Hurricane documents, and years of subsequent reporting have confirmed what Republicans said at the time: this was a coordinated political operation dressed in constitutional language. Trump was acquitted twice. Every major prosecution launched against him during and after his first term — New York, Georgia, the Jack Smith federal cases — has since collapsed, been dropped, or been formally closed.

It was one of America’s original revolutionary war banners, flown by George Washington’s Continental Navy fleet in 1775. It bears a pine tree and the words “𝘈𝘯 𝘈𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯” — a reference to John Locke’s argument that when earthly authority becomes unjust, you appeal to God.

The broader hearing exposed the full scope of the SPLC’s one-directional targeting. Rep. Chip Roy asked the organization’s CEO to name leftist or antisemitic hate groups on its map. She couldn’t provide any. He then asked for Islamist designations — organizations that march in American cities with open terror-support chants. Also none. Rep. Darrell Issa gave the CEO eleven seconds to say whether she’d recant Charlie Kirk’s listing. She refused.

If 10% of harvested ballots are illegal, and 90% are legal, but it is impossible to isolate the 10% from the 90%, should it continue to be allowed?

"Ask at least 3 times."

"The Times on Wednesday interviewed 20 residents of Skid Row about the election. Some said they live on the streets, others in shelters or apartments in the area. None said anyone approached them offering money to vote for a specific candidate." Twenty (20) people! That's Pulitzer territory. But notice the weaselly "specific candidate" qualifier. It turned out "most" said they "had not been approached in any manner about the election." So maybe 9 of the 20 HAD been approached. latimes.com/california/story…

My favorite "witch hunt" for fraud was Bob Dornan's 1996 House campaign. Dem Loretta Sanchez finished ahead by 984 votes. Dornan cried foul, but a bipartisan Congressional inquiry found only 748 illegal votes--624 from non-citizens. Nothing to see there! cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1998/02/…

I would actually change the "no" to "probably no." We don't know. The loopholes are big enough---eg sending in random ballots for people who won't complain and never see them which then aren't adequately checked--that it's possible.

These Irishmen are not protesting Islam. They are protesting the willful and deliberate destruction of their centuries-old culture by their own government. Why are they not allowed to prevent cultural genocide against their own indigenous culture?

This single paragraph from an emergency docket opinion issued one week ago (Allen v. Milligan) is likely to be the most important paragraph the Court has written since Dobbs. The OLC relies on it in its new opinion declaring EEOC's Title VII disparate impact guidelines unconstitutional. But its significance is even deeper. As others have pointed out, this is the first time a majority opinion officially declares that we the people of the United States have a colorblind constitution. As Justice Harlan explained long ago, and as the people understood when they ratified the Fourteenth Amendment.

Kaizen, I deeply respect your unbiased and cautious approach to reporting. If this was a fair loss, I’d take it on the chin. But, universal mail in ballots combined with outdated voter rolls, mafia level ballot harvesting, paying the homeless for their votes, accepting marks as signatures, allowing gym cards as ID to register, and having a 40% ASV setting on ballot machines makes fraud impossible to detect. This is by design. Add to that the fact that Newsom is blocking federal review of the voter rolls and passed a law (SB73) a week before the election banning feds from seizing ballots, and poll observers from questioning signatures, and at the very least your ears should perk up. Sure, fraud in this particular election will need to be proven in time. But election fraud does exist. Just last month a woman was federally charged with paying homeless people to register to vote. James O’Keefe, Nick Shirley, and many citizen journalists have video proof that more cases of registration and voter fraud are out there. As we speak, hundreds of people from Bill Essayli's team to concerned citizens are doing their due diligence to seek the truth and find evidence. To say outright that it’s not fraud and to suggest that people who say it is are doing so because they “don’t like the outcome” or “want clicks” is misguided. That conclusion requires turning a blind eye to the insurmountable evidence that’s building, the mathematical improbability of the vote swing, and discredits hundreds of thousands of voters who feel disenfranchised by what took place last week. There's a reason her own district of progressives didn't turn out for her, and that a disproportionate amount of homeless people did. Skid row's turn out was 150% more from our last Mayoral election. Please get more curious about what’s actually going on under the surface. This affects much more than California. If Spencer Pratt was robbed, we all were. And we deserve to know the truth.

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.
