Teachers in a Virginia county packed with data centers are being told to turn off their classroom lights.

Electricity costs are climbing, and apparently, teachers aren't important enough to spare the expense. Maybe police and fire departments are next? Kids doing schoolwork by candlelight because there's a data center up the street isn't a hypothetical anymore, it's the plan.

Who's voting on this? One or two county commissioners for the entire community?

7 to 2. Monsanto wins. Your food loses. Welcome to the pool. Everyone is in it now.

The Supreme Court just ruled 7 to 2 in favor of Monsanto, striking down thousands of Roundup cancer lawsuits worth billions in damages.

The ruling grants liability protection to the maker of an herbicide that hundreds of thousands of plaintiffs claim causes cancer. Corporations are now getting the same shield that pharmaceutical companies have had on vaccines for decades.

If liability protection was fine when it applied to something you didn't personally worry about, today's ruling is a reminder that the same protection now covers what's in your food.

When corporate interests drive the political system rather than human interests, that's fascism, not a republic.

Regardless of party, the pattern keeps repeating. Corporate interests are winning, and the public is left with fewer tools to hold them accountable.

This hearing sure did give us a lot to talk about today. In his opening statement, Senator Cassidy told a CDC nominee that anyone who questions whether vaccines cause autism is spreading misinformation. Then he spent the next two minutes unable to correctly name a disease outbreak he was citing as a public health emergency.

"Study after study shows they do not cause autism," he said, presenting it as closed science. It isn't. We all know that.

Cassidy also called it misinformation to question the hepatitis B birth dose, a policy that vaccinates newborns against a disease overwhelmingly transmitted through sexual contact or IV drug use, conditions that no newborn is in. This has been asked and answered. See: ACIP.

The senator wants a CDC leader who won't tolerate "equivocation" on any of this. What he's actually demanding is silence on questions that remain genuinely open.

The Supreme Court's Monsanto ruling works like this: if glyphosate's cancer risk isn't on the label, the EPA said there's no issue, so you can't sue for failure to warn. If it is on the label, you were warned, so you still can't sue.

"You can't bring a failure to warn claim in any state under any state law," @AaronSiri explained. "That is basically effectively immunity granted by the members of the US Supreme Court."

The bigger problem is who controls the label in the first place. Industry funds and conducts its own safety studies, then decides what to hand over to the EPA. If the EPA accepts the industry's version and finds no harm, that finding now bars any future lawsuits nationwide.

"There's a reason the industry wanted the EPA to be in charge of deciding what harms are caused," Siri said. "They know that is an actor they can control, unlike juries."

@delbigtree

"When I first got involved all those years ago, there were perhaps five people around the world who were even prepared to discuss the thorny issue of vaccine safety."

Now, more than half of the world's adult population says there's a problem. Families are having the conversation around their own dinner tables every night, whether to continue with the program or not.

"You're going to go down in history as a man that was way ahead of his time. I think one of the greatest scientists of our time is you. You called it before anyone."

The shift happened because people kept asking the questions they were told not to ask, and the trend line only points one direction from here.

Just before heading out to the stage to talk to several expert scientists and doctors and get their perspective on the truth about COVID here at CPAC.

Traveling and hearing from people all over the world has shown me more than ever how united we really are. Grateful for these opportunities!

Aaron Siri, ICAN's lead attorney, gave a talk at the Kennedy Center to an audience that included officials from the FDA, CDC, and other federal health agencies.

"I tried to make the point that they've really, really messed up," @AaronSiri said of the address, "including a lot of them firing themselves."

The strategy behind ICAN's legal work has always been incremental. Siri compared it to how mandates themselves were built, one vaccine added at a time, until an entire schedule existed that no one would have accepted all at once. ICAN is using the same approach in reverse, bringing narrow cases that chip away at the legal architecture piece by piece rather than swinging for one case that changes everything.

Nine years into this work, Siri says they're further along than he expected. State legislatures passed the largest number of medical liberty protections in the country's history during the years federal COVID restrictions were at their peak. Roughly 20 to 30 percent of the public now understands why medical liberty matters, a number that didn't exist as a concept a decade ago, when saying the words "vaccine injury" out loud got you looked at like you had horns.

The Supreme Court is next. Siri said ICAN is ready with the right cases, built the same deliberate way as everything else: incrementally, narrowly, and built to win.

Retroviruses can do something ordinary viruses cannot: insert themselves into human DNA.

Professor Angus Dalgleish, an oncologist who has spent decades studying viral links to cancer since his work on the earliest HIV research, explains.

Normal RNA viruses, even airborne ones, never touch your DNA. Retroviruses reverse that process, inserting themselves in and sitting there for a long time, which is exactly what the word "retro" refers to.

He points to the known cancer-linked viruses as the model for how this plays out: Epstein-Barr causing lymphoma, HPV linked to cervical cancer, hepatitis B and C both capable of causing cancer. In every case, it took years, sometimes decades, before the cancer ever emerged.

...It's happening a lot more quickly as of late.

A peptide product was tested. It was claimed to contain epimelanin. Lab results found zero percent detected. What it did contain? Arsenic and lead.

That's the answer to one of the most common questions our panel on peptides received: how do you safely source peptides?

When compounding access was restricted, the demand didn't disappear, it just moved underground. "The gray market is what took over when they restricted and took away the compounding for us," and compared it to the shift to the Dallas Buyers Club era, where cutting off what was working for people just drove it into an unregulated space.

And, they say, it really is dangerous. Anything injectable, even something as ordinary as vitamin B12, is classified as a dangerous drug once safety protocols disappear. Buying it without any oversight opened the door to adulterated, sub-therapeutic, and toxic products reaching consumers who were sold on it through social media with no medical supervision at all.

@RobertFKennedyJr. just announced plans to create a formal COVID-19 vaccine injury table, according to a new filing reported by The Hill.

Right now, anyone injured by the shot has to file a claim with no established list of recognized injuries, then build their own medical and scientific case from scratch that the vaccine caused their harm. Out of over 14,000 claims filed, only 62 have been compensated.

An injury table changes the entire starting point. Instead of proving causation alone, claimants would be working from a list of injuries the government already recognizes as linked to the shot. The longer and more thorough that list, the more people actually get compensated for the medical bills and damage they're already living with.

The devastation in Venezuela is almost impossible to put into words.

Strategic Response Partners deployed into the earthquake zone where every collapsed building carried impossible choices, heartbreaking losses, and the hope that someone might still be alive beneath the rubble.

"There was so much work that needed to be done... and there still is."

Steve Slepcevic and Byron Rodgers share what they witnessed on the ground, the extraordinary resilience of the Venezuelan people, and the moments that will stay with them forever.

🚨 They say MAHA is losing steam. The numbers tell a different story.

A new poll shows nearly one-third of U.S. adults identify with the MAHA movement, while another 20% remain undecided but supportive. That puts a majority of Americans within reach of a movement centered on medical freedom, healthier food, and better health.

“This has legs. It has steam. It has momentum.”

Can you count them??

@delbigtree

Fauci pleaded the Fifth throughout his testimony today. No clarity on what he did, said, agreed to, or funded.

Rand Paul raised the question of contempt. And there may be a real legal problem with how Fauci's team handled it: he opened his testimony with a statement about his "decade-long cooperation with Congress," testifying 200 times.

"You can't use it as a sword and a shield." Once he opened the door to that topic, pleading the Fifth on everything else may not hold up.

@delbigtree

The global governance structure - the authoritarian EU expanding to the WEF, the WHO, the UN - believes it needs to control your bodies, and vaccines are how they intend to do it. They want to decide if you can have children. This is not a conspiracy theory.

Bill Gates says we must reduce population. Barack Obama, Klaus Schwab, Tedros - they all say we need to reduce population. And at the same time, every one of them says every nation must mandate vaccines. Start taking them for their word.

The next pandemic is not a matter of if, according to the head of the WHO. It is a matter of when. And the next time, they will be playing to win.

I made "An Inconvenient Study" as a tool. If everybody knows the truth and everybody shares that truth, we are powerful enough to change the world. Take this film and share it with everyone you know.

I can't guarantee we win. But I know for sure that if we do nothing, we lose.

"There's compassion available for the small child that everyone knows has a disability," Tyler Hudson says. "But what about when he ages out of that and turns into an adult, and now his behaviors can be perceived as threatening?"

His son is 18 now. "There's nothing between 18 and 80 for him." He will require significant support for the rest of his life, and Hudson describes that reality as the hardest stage of an actual grieving process, not something people talk about openly.

He pushes back on how society has reframed autism. "We say, 'Oh, autism is a superpower.' Well, it might be for that person. It's not for us. There's no evidence of savant-level telepathic communication going on with us."

Even the early hope, he says, produces its own kind of bargaining: "God made my child this way for a reason," a mental gymnastics society at large has adopted too, sanitizing something it doesn't actually understand.

@delbigtree

Just over 50 people signed the Declaration of Independence. They put their names on that document and said this is who I am, you know where I live, come and try to take freedom from me. That's what they were saying to everyone who knew them. They would rather die standing than live on their knees.

We are celebrating 250 years of that decision this year, and I think one of the most important things to stand for is this: if you don't control your body, if you don't decide what goes into it, you have no freedom at all.

Every history book ever written is full of people who faced insurmountable odds, defied all reason, and won anyway. We have to be the generation that writes the next pages.

@delbigtree

Not one Democratic senator asked Fauci a single question at the hearing.

That's the real story. Not what Fauci said or didn't say. It's that half the country still doesn't see anything wrong with letting one man wield the kind of power he did over health decisions for an entire nation.

There should be two red lines coming out of it: no gain-of-function research, period. And your rights can't be contingent on the opinion of a public health official. No mandates. Persuade people on the merits or don't get their compliance at all.

"How are they going to admit then that they might have been wrong? They'll never do that because it will destroy their credibility."

@delbigtree

🚨Rand Paul's document dump includes Tony Fauci's own diary, and it rewrites the COVID timeline.

One month after being warned by Drew Weissman, the Nobel laureate behind the mRNA technology, that the vaccine crosses into the placenta and fetus and triggers an immune response in the amniotic fluid, Fauci greenlit the shot for pregnant women. Roughly 20,000 were vaccinated. The official line: no red flags.

"Looks like you have touched all the bases of informing people of your results. I hope that all is well."

Not a single follow-up question.
