Statement from Secretary Amore:
I am absolutely sickened and devastated by what’s happened in Providence. Gun violence anywhere is unacceptable, and when it occurs so close to home, the pain is immeasurable. As we wait to learn more, my heart is with the entire community.

Trump is now eyeing a loyalist to fill the role, because nothing says “trust the data” like hand-picking someone who already agrees with you. Starting next month, expect to see “tons of new jobs” magically appear… and then another… and another. At this rate, we’ll all be employed twice.

RFKJ’s HHS tried to downplay it on X, brushing it off as just a “required notice.”
