We sought comment from you before publication. You didn't respond. A tweet almost 24 hours later is not a comment answering our questions.
The @nytimes article by @apoorva_nyc still says HHS “did not provide a comment.” We sent @SecKennedy’s response more than 24 hours ago and asked them to update the story. They haven’t.
Readers deserve the full story. Here’s the response the Times has yet to include.

Larry Ellison’s TikTok blocked advertising for a documentary criticizing Elon Musk.
Fight back. Defeat oligarchy. Preserve democracy.

Mamdani's act of graciousness at Ground Zero this morning appeared to leave Giuliani defanged and a bit...chastened.

A stellar Napa vineyard, now reverting to nature. Excellent story from @wblakegray wine-searcher.com/m/2026/07/…
Southold has always made great wine, first on Long Island and then in Texas, but problems forced them to leave one, and then the other. Now they are trying again in Bordeaux. nytimes.com/2026/07/16/dinin…

In my first story with Kelley French for @washingtonsun, I spoke to the woman pictured in the Metro photo on July 4.
She didn't know she went viral. Her family wants people to know their difficult reality. Please take some time with our story today notus.org/metro/viral-metro-…
