This time last year, I was on the South Lawn of the White House helping to lay out the AIDS Memorial Quilt.
This year the White House did nothing and the State Department instructed empoyees and grant recipients to “refrain from publicly promoting World Aids Day through any communication channels”

This morning I had the honor of helping lay out some panels of the #AIDS Memorial Quilt on the South Lawn of the White House. Seeing all these individual lives that were lost and knowing they are just a miniscule part of that great tapestry of loss is haunting.

Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?

Yes, that's right: Kristi Noem said "persecute," not "prosecute."
Noem: "Anyone who has info on this needs to know we will be coming after you & we will bring you to justice. We absolutely will persecute you b/c we do know that we will never allow this to continue to happen in our country -- allow individuals who came to our country unvetted by Joe Biden ... "
