🚨 We have uncovered that @SecBecerra failed to follow the Constitution and the law to reappoint top NIH officials when their terms expired in December 2021.
As a result, 14 NIH officials held unlawful positions and exercised authority they didn’t have.
This includes Dr. Fauci—the highest paid federal employee—who served unlawfully & without a proper appointment from Dec 2021 to his retirement.
It was during this time that he awarded a new grant to EcoHealth Alliance, despite scrutiny of risky research it facilitated in China.

There have been some calls—from both sides of the aisle—for a Big Government to mandate or dictate free speech or ensure fairness online. These proposals are not consistent with the #FirstAmendment.
It shouldn't be the @FCC, @FTC , or any government agency’s job to moderate free speech online. Instead, we should continue to provide oversight of Big Tech & their use of #Section230, and also encourage constructive discussions on the responsible use of content moderation.

After reading the opinion piece in the @washingtonpost about aborting babies with Down syndrome, I struggled to put into words how offensive it is. Thread...
