The Biden Admin’s dangerous Ministry of Truth must be stopped. I am gathering signatures to put the Senate on record to eliminate their “Disinformation Governance Board” & defend the American people from this grotesque anti-free speech effort. — Rand Paul (@RandPaul) May 6, 2022

Politico reports, “Here comes the Department of Homeland Security — that heavily funded guardian of our national borders, enforcer of the immigration laws, preventer of terrorism, protector of U.S. coastal waters, keeper of cybersecurity and coordinator of disaster preparedness — with yet another sweeping assignment. On Wednesday, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced at a House hearing the formation of a Disinformation Governance Board, which will carry the agency’s fight to a new front. The board will battle disinformation.
What will the board do? Where will the war be waged? Information on the Biden administration’s war on disinformation proved scarce. When the Associated Press asked DHS for an interview for details, the department stiffed them, according to the AP’s April 28 story. The next afternoon, a reporter asked White House press secretary Jen Psaki for more about the board at a presser, and she was pretty vacant, too. “I really haven’t dug into this exactly. I mean, we, of course, support this effort, but let me see if I can get more specifics.”

Many people suspected the NSA would spy on Americans but who would have guessed we needed to fear the CDC’s collection of metadata?

American Military News reports, “The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) purchased access to a vast trove of data collected from the phones of millions of Americans, to monitor overall compliance with COVID-19 lockdown orders throughout the country.
VICE first reported on the CDC’s actions after obtaining internal agency documents through a freedom of information act (FOIA) request. The CDC documents state the database is ‘derived from at least 20 million active cellphone users per day across the United States’ to provide a geographically representative sample to study lockdown compliance.”

Great analysis for anyone open-minded enough to bypass left and right-wing reactionary responses and actually discuss ways the Russian war on Ukraine might have been avoided and how it might yet be resolved. https://t.co/OBcrVRwJat — Rand Paul (@RandPaul) April 28, 2022

Responsible Statecraft’s Alex Jordan writes, “Secretary of State Antony Blinken appeared to contradict one of his top deputies in an exchange with Sen. Rand Paul before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Tuesday, re-igniting questions about the Biden administration’s diplomatic strategy in the months leading up to Russia’s illegal and aggressive war on Ukraine.
Of course, the media chatter surrounding yesterday’s hearing largely ignored the latest evidence that U.S. diplomats missed a potential opportunity to prevent Russia’s war, focusing instead on conflating Paul’s attempts to explain Russia’s actions with efforts to justify them.
I’d encourage you to watch their full exchange.
Sen. Paul opened his comments by saying that ‘while there is no justification for Putin’s war on Ukraine, it does not follow that there’s no explanation for the invasion.’ Yet during his testimony, Sec. Blinken seemingly rejected the need for any further exploration of Russia’s motivations, instead asserting the same, dangerous combination of over-certainty and incuriousness about the ‘the other side’ that has fueled so many disastrous U.S. foreign policy decisions…
In fact, more than 30 years of analysis from U.S. foreign policy leaders like Burns, George Kennan, and Fiona Hill indicates that NATO’s expansion is, in fact, a core security concern for Russia; it is in this context that Sen. Paul challenged the wisdom of a Nov. 2021 statement reaffirming U.S. support for Ukraine’s NATO aspirations, asking Blinken to explain how the administration weighed the imperative to avert a Russian invasion against their desire to keep NATO’s door ‘open’ to Ukraine (despite ‘knowing full well’ that Ukraine was unlikely to join the alliance).”

The Washington Examiner’s Christopher Tremoglie writes, “Paul should be commended for calling out the fearmongering by Democrats and the Biden administration surrounding the pandemic. They pursued authoritative measures with questionable efficacy instead of providing alternative options for protection during the pandemic. Whether it was being censored by Big Tech or diligently working to end the federal mask mandates, the senator always championed liberty over despotic decrees.
‘The administration is appealing this, but it is my hope we never have to do this again,’ he said.”
We’re ready to be free again, and thank goodness for a judge who was willing to make the right decision. And the administration is appealing it, but my hope is that we never have to do this again. Congress never gave permission to the CDC to pass this. https://t.co/bpTDKK8Hhe — Rand Paul (@RandPaul) April 25, 2022

"It is a happy day! No more masks!" Paul cheered. "We’re seeing nothing but smiles here at the Nashville Airport. People have been tired, sick and tired of wearing the masks. We’re ready to be free again, and thank goodness for a judge who was willing to make the right decision. And the administration is appealing it, but my hope is that we never have to do this again.
