On Monday, Representative Chellie Pingree stood on the steps of the Supreme Court and named what is actually happening in Congress right now.

Bayer has 53 lobbyists working Capitol Hill and is spending millions to jam a liability shield into the Farm Bill, language that would strip Americans of their right to sue when a product gives them cancer. Pingree fought to have it removed in committee.

Every single Republican and one Democrat voted to keep it in. Across the street from that rally, the House Rules Committee was deciding the same day whether the Pingree-Massie Protect Our Health Amendment would even be allowed a floor vote.

She has been an organic farmer in Maine since the 1970s and has been fighting this fight long before MAHA existed. Her message on Monday? No one can claim to support making America healthy again while voting to protect the companies spraying toxic chemicals on American farmland.

Cancer is not a partisan issue, and any Farm Bill that shields chemical companies over farm families is not pro-farmer, not pro-health, and not pro-America.

Bayer has the money. The people showed up Monday in Washington to make clear that is not enough.

@delbigtree

🚨This is IMPORTANT. The Farm Bill vote happening right now contains a provision that goes far beyond pesticide liability, and Dennis Kucinich came to the steps of the Supreme Court on Monday to make sure people understood what is actually at stake.

The Supreme Court heard arguments Monday on whether Bayer can be shielded from state-level failure-to-warn lawsuits. But as Kucinich explained, the justices are not being asked to decide whether glyphosate causes cancer. They are being asked to decide whether states retain their constitutional right to protect the health and safety of their own people.

The 10th Amendment reserved that power to the states when this country was founded. The Supremacy Clause preemption argument Bayer is making, backed by the Trump Justice Department, would strip it away.

The Farm Bill makes this worse. Removing the pesticide liability shield language, as some representatives fought to do, does not address the EATS Act provisions buried in the same bill, which would block states from setting agricultural standards stronger than the federal baseline, covering chemical use, animal welfare, and beyond.

The Rules Committee refused to allow a vote on removing those provisions. That leaves voting no on the entire Farm Bill as the only remaining path to protecting states' rights over their own land, their own farmers, and their own communities.

This is a constitutional moment.

Researchers in Japan injected a common anaerobic bacteria into tumor-bearing mice and watched it navigate directly to the oxygen-starved tumor environment, colonize it, shrink it, and activate the immune system to destroy it, with no toxicity and no adverse effects on major organ systems.

A follow-up study tested a second bacterial strain, Ewingella americana, against colorectal cancer and found something even more striking. After treatment, all cured mice completely rejected a second introduction of tumor cells more than 60 days later. The immune system had learned, remembered, and refused to let the cancer return. The survival rate in the E. americana group was 100%. Standard chemotherapy and leading immunotherapy did not come close.

Jefferey Jaxen's report puts these findings in the context of a cancer establishment that has resisted precision and microbiome-based approaches for decades, and asks the questions MAHA leadership has so far avoided answering.

Katie Couric sat down for coffee with an oncology fellow who had just told a 21-year-old college student with no family history that he had stage 4 colorectal cancer. Couric went public with her alarm. Seventeen cancers are rising in people under 50. She rattled off a list of possible causes: ultra-processed food, microplastics, forever chemicals, and antibiotic overprescription.

She ended with a raw question: "What the f is going on?"

Del and Jefferey Jaxen have a thought on what is missing from that list.

Every environmental factor Couric named has been present for roughly 40 years. None of them explain a sudden spike in young-onset cancer over the last two to three years. Something else happened recently, something experimental, something forced on the global population, and it is conspicuously absent from her investigation.

She is asking the right questions. But she's skipping over a category....

@delbigtree

Senator @RonJohnson - who has been a hero for transparency surrounding the COVID shot - has nearly 11 million pages of documents proving what many have said for years.

The FDA hid the myocarditis signal. They hid the ischemic stroke signal in people over 65.

And now Johnson has uncovered something worse: Peter Marks, head of the FDA's vaccine division, was told on March 26th, 2021 that the algorithm used to analyze VAERS data was actively masking adverse events. He was told that using a different system had uncovered 49 examples of extreme masking, including 25 significant adverse events among them cardiac sudden death, Bell's palsy, and pulmonary infarction. He knew. They all knew.

The VAERS death chart tells the story without any sophisticated mathematics. For decades, vaccine-associated deaths ran at a few hundred per year. In 2021, that number crossed 20,000. For five years, the FDA looked at that chart and said they saw no signal. That was a lie, and Johnson is naming it as a cover-up that continues inside HHS, CDC, and FDA to this very day.

A formal report drops next week alongside a Senate hearing. Johnson demanded that the people involved in the cover-up be made available for interviews. Kennedy's response on the record: "You have my commitment."

@delbigtree

Nowhere but in the pharmaceutical industry can you have a product that not only "sucks" but also harms the consumer...

The measles vaccine does not create sterilizing immunity. That means vaccinated individuals can still carry and transmit the measles virus without knowing it, and the antibody protection the vaccine does create wanes over time, leaving a significant portion of vaccinated children in a subclinical infected state where they feel fine and go to school while actively spreading the virus.

The unvaccinated child, by contrast, gets sick, shows symptoms, stays home, and recovers with lifetime immunity. The vaccinated child becomes an asymptomatic carrier with no idea they are infectious and no reason to isolate.

The framing that unvaccinated children are responsible for measles outbreaks ignores this entirely. Herd immunity through vaccination requires a sterilizing vaccine. This one does not sterilize. The science on this is not new and it is not disputed. The media just refuses to discuss it.

@delbigtree

When a federal judge blocked changes to the ACIP committee and threw the panel into disarray, ICAN lead attorney @AaronSiri sent a letter to Secretary Kennedy the same week urging him to amend the charter directly. He did it within days.

The changes to the new charter are significant. The old version limited membership to experts in vaccination and vaccination policy. The new version opens the door to toxicologists, pediatric neurodevelopment specialists, and experts in recovery from serious vaccine injuries.

The word safety now appears significantly more times than in the original charter, and the new language explicitly calls for examining gaps in vaccine safety research and adverse effects following vaccination.

Most people assumed that kind of expertise was already in the room. It wasn't. And now that it is being added, the committee that recommends vaccines for every child in America will look fundamentally different at its next meeting.

All eyes are on what comes next.

@delbigtree

Researchers have found that every 10% increase in ultraprocessed food calorie intake during pregnancy is linked to an 11% higher risk of preterm birth and a 5% higher risk of high blood pressure disorders including preeclampsia, which are the leading causes of death and serious illness for mothers and newborns in the United States.

For decades, the government's own food pyramid was directing pregnant women toward the very foods now linked to these outcomes. Every administration in recent memory looked the other way while these dietary guidelines shaped what millions of American mothers ate during the most critical window of fetal development.

These findings should be at the center of every conversation about maternal and infant health in this country.

@delbigtree

For the first time, more Americans doubt vaccine safety than trust it.

A poll of 3,851 US adults conducted by Public First found that a plurality of Americans question vaccine safety, support reducing the number of vaccines administered, and believe that the right to decide what goes into your own body outweighs the goal of preventing disease transmission.

This is the actual state of public opinion, and it matters because politicians have been quietly telling each other that vaccines are too hot to touch heading into the midterms.

The data says the American public is already there. The mainstream is catching up to what people have been saying in private for years, and anyone reading the room honestly cannot ignore it anymore.

@delbigtree

The mainstream news coverage of measles outbreaks follows a familiar pattern. A handful of cases, a doctor warning about declining vaccination rates, and an immediate recommendation to get two doses of the MMR vaccine, which happens to be 97% effective. It reads like a pharmaceutical ad because, as Del points out, it functionally is one.

Understand the actual history of the measles vaccine program. The goal was never just personal protection. The goal set in the 1960s was eradication, the complete elimination of measles from the planet. That program has failed by its own stated measure, and virologists and immunologists warned at the time that pushing hard against such a contagious and historically mild virus carried its own risks. Sound familiar?

When seven cases of a rash in one state and eleven in another become a national news emergency, and the answer is always the same product from the same industry that funds 70% of those news stations' advertising, the question becomes who benefits from the framing?

@delbigtree

Jefferey Jaxen reports on mounting concern over microplastics accumulating in the human body, as HHS Director @RobertFKennedyJr. announces a major new research effort to investigate the health implications of widespread plastic exposure.

From drinking water to the air we breathe, scientists are detecting microscopic plastic particles in places few expected to find them, raising new questions about how modern environmental contamination may be interacting with human biology.

At the same time, a new controversy is emerging around blood transfusions and COVID vaccination status, as some patients begin requesting blood donations exclusively from unvaccinated donors. Blood banks insist the supply remains safe, but the requests reflect a growing public conversation about what remains in the bloodstream after both environmental and pharmaceutical exposures.

As these two stories unfold, Jefferey examines why the question of what’s circulating in the human body today is becoming increasingly concerning for researchers, regulators, and the public alike.

@delbigtree

Water doesn't get the same attention as oil or energy policy, but the pressure on the supply is just as real and the consequences of getting it wrong are harder to reverse.

Freshwater demand from AI infrastructure alone is already straining regional supplies. Fracking raises the same questions from a different angle. Whatever position someone holds on that energy source, the volume of water consumed and the contamination risk to surrounding aquifers and waterways are costs that fall on everyone else.

Energy decisions made in boardrooms have a way of showing up in everyone else's tap water.

‼️A grandmother spent five months in jail for a crime she did not commit, in a state she had never visited, after AI facial recognition technology wrongly linked her to bank fraud. It was her first time on a plane when police flew her a thousand miles to Fargo to face charges.

This is happening right now, and it is part of a much larger shift in how law enforcement is using AI to make decisions that destroy people's lives.

More to come...

@delbigtree

A 62-year-old woman developed uncontrollable tonic-clonic seizures after three COVID vaccines. Her face drooped as if she had suffered a stroke. The first seizure lasted 14 hours. She was having six of them a week.

Dr. Tina Peers asked her to start augmented NAC on June 3rd. By June 7th, the seizures stopped completely and never returned.

The science behind it starts with the spike protein itself. It attaches to ACE2 receptors, triggers inflammation, and cannot be cleared by the body on its own. Standard NAC, a precursor to glutathione, showed some ability to weaken the spike protein's bonds under electron microscopy, but not enough.

Working with a quantum physicist, researchers developed an augmented version with significantly greater bioavailability that can enter the spike protein and break it into pieces small enough for the liver to process and the body to excrete through urine. They then developed a urine test to confirm that the clearing was actually happening.

Dr. Tina Peers joins the show to discuss what she has found and what it means for people still carrying the spike protein in their tissues.

@delbigtree

🩸Americans are refusing blood transfusions from vaccinated donors in large enough numbers that it is now causing clinical harm. People are experiencing deterioration and in some cases going into shock rather than accept standard blood supply inventory. At the same time, the Red Cross declared a severe blood shortage in January after supply dropped 35% in a single month.

Jeffrey Jaxen's reporting lays the institutional failure bare. A study from Dr. Peter McCullough raised the concern directly, noting that COVID injectable products are associated with an increased risk of stroke and that the persistence of product artifacts in the blood presents a possible threat to transfusion recipients from donors who suffered vaccine-induced thrombosis or thrombocytopenia.

The Biden administration hid the stroke risk data. Nobody added an optional checkbox to donation forms asking whether a donor had been vaccinated. The science that could have addressed this was never done, and now the consequences are showing up in emergency rooms.

@DelBigtree

What is happening right now with Bayer and Monsanto at the Supreme Court is the same story we have been telling about vaccines for twenty years, and it is playing out again in real time.

They are losing billions in lawsuits because their pesticides are causing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. So instead of making a safer product, they are asking the government for liability protection. And our own Department of Justice is helping them make that case.

This is exactly what happened with vaccines. The manufacturers were losing money over death and injury. The government didn't say go back and fix it. They said we will protect you. And now an entire generation of children is living with the consequences of that decision, with no legal recourse for their families.

I trust Bobby Kennedy and the work he is doing, but we are watching complications inside this administration and I think people need to pay attention to this one. I can't imagine anyone walking down the street wants to give pesticide companies a free ride when their product is causing cancer and poisoning our children.

@delbigtree

A few weeks ago an activist judge wiped out the changes @RobertFKennedyJr. had made to the vaccine program and abolished his Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. A lot of people saw that as a devastating loss. We saw a window.

ICAN submitted a letter to Secretary Kennedy, drafted by our attorney @AaronSiri , laying out exactly what he could still do. Expand the ACIP membership criteria. Bring in people who specialize in vaccine safety and injury, not just the people who make vaccines and promote them. Add liaison representatives so that injured people and the organizations fighting for them actually have a seat at the table, instead of leaving it entirely to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Days after receiving that letter, Robert Kennedy Jr. made exactly those changes to the ACIP charter.

When I was a kid I was taught that when something looks dark, you look for the window. That's what we did.

That's what Kennedy did. I want to thank him.

These are the changes we have been fighting for. This is what it looks like when it starts to work.

@delbigtree

🚨BREAKING: ICAN sent a letter to Secretary Kennedy last week urging him to revise the ACIP charter. Within days, he did.

Here is what changed:

🔥The membership criteria have been expanded beyond the vaccinologists and epidemiologists who have long dominated the committee, opening seats to experts in toxicology, data science, pediatric neurodevelopment, and vaccine injury.

🔥The word "safety" now appears ten times in the charter. It appeared three times before. The word "risks" appears five times. It appeared zero times before. The new language requires ACIP to evaluate risk/benefit profiles, consider cumulative effects of vaccines and their components, and conduct re-analysis as new safety data becomes available.

🔥New liaison representatives have been added to the committee, including the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), Independent Medical Alliance (formerly FLCCC), MAPS, and Physicians for Informed Consent, bringing pro-safety, informed consent voices into a room that has never had them.

🚨None of this happens without the people who show up, stay informed, and keep supporting this work. This is what winning looks like.

Nearly 32 million Americans got their first mRNA COVID-19 dose and never came back for the second one. The CDC has had four years to explain why. They still haven't.

ICAN first asked in February 2022, then again in May 2022. Both letters were met with silence. The data CDC had in hand during the height of the pandemic showed that more than 38 million Americans failed to complete the two-dose series. Put another way, more than one in ten people who began the mRNA COVID-19 vaccination series never finished it.

@AaronSiri's team wrote it plainly in the new letter:

"When tens of millions make the same decision, it suggests that something meaningful is likely driving this result. Whether this reflects adverse events, perceived adverse reactions, or other safety-related concerns is a question that warrants formal evaluation."

That formal evaluation never came. So on March 9, 2026, ICAN sent a third letter, this time addressed directly to Jay Bhattacharya at HHS, Retsef Levi at the Covid-19 Vaccine Review Committee, Sarah Oliver at the CDC, and Dr. Marty Makary at the FDA, cc'd to Secretary Kennedy, asking the current administration to finally answer what the last one refused to.

Before gender reassignment treatments, 9.8% of adolescents in a new Finnish study needed specialist psychiatric care. After? 60.7%.

The study followed over 2,000 gender-referred adolescents and young adults and tracked psychiatric outcomes before and after hormonal and surgical interventions. Among those approved for masculinizing treatments, the rate went from 21.6% to 54.5%.

The study's authors noted that the significant rise in psychiatric comorbidities among those seeking gender reassignment since 2011 is not explained by improved diagnosis, and that the data suggests gender dysphoria may, in some cases, be secondary to underlying mental health challenges.

Gender-affirming treatments are routinely promoted as life-saving care that reduces suicidality. This study does not support the claim that these interventions deliver the mental health outcomes commonly promised.

The article also covers the current legal and policy
landscape as courts and states continue to fight over whether these treatments should be available to minors.
