Secret documents reveal donors behind $330 million for Trump’s ballroom
The records offer a panoramic view of a fundraising campaign that is extraordinary for its size and opacity.

“'Data-driven' economist says #breastfeeding doesn't matter.” "Lactation consultants starve babies" This is what #BreastfeedingDenialism looks like. Our new paper argues that addressing #misinformation and #CompassionateCare are NOT conflicting goals. doi.org/10.1111/mcn.... 🧪 🛟 #MedSky #PedSky

Breastfeeding Science Denialism: Unpacking a Hidden Harm
Bridget McGann Christina Raimondi Meghan B. Azad
In the digital age, misinformation about infant feeding threatens decades of public health efforts to revive breastfeeding.Increasingly sophisticated marketing exploits cultural knowledge gaps, serving commercial interests and exacerbating food insecurity from climate change and migration. Public health literature acknowledges that suboptimal breastfeeding rates are due to systemic failures, not personal ones. However, our social responsibility to parents includes promoting public literacy in infant feeding and breastfeeding and lactation science. Recognizing breastfeeding misinformation as science denialism unlocks field‐tested communication tools from domains long‐targeted by denialism, such as climate change and vaccines. We describe five breastfeeding denialism strategies that echo tactics historically used to manufacture doubt about scientific consensus (cut off)

“This is not a story about fractions and SAT problems,’ Christian said. ‘This is something that is happening to human knowledge and human expertise from top to bottom and from grade-school students all the way to the leading experts in the world’.”🧪
"You almost couldn't ask for a clearer story," Christian said.

There was a significant drop-off in the solve rate for the group that had access to an Al tool, represented by the orange line, after the tool was removed. There was also a sharp increase in the rate at which participants skipped questions, shown in the lower graph.“"We need to work toward a future in which human abilities are, as much as possible, augmented rather than supplanted," he said.

Christian said that's especially true with research and academia. He worries about the way overreliance on AI tools in science could jeopardize what makes for a good scientist in the first place: staying close to data, being immersed in the material, and working as part of a team. Something significant could be lost when that team of 10 developing the ideas that lead to a breakthrough is whittled down to two or three researchers and a chatbot.”

Holy shit FOUR members of the ethics committee in Denmark that gave the green light to allow the widely-condemned RFK Jr-funded trial to proceed in Guinea-Bissau have now resigned in protest This quote is 🔥 Great reporting by @melodyschreiber.com www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
Stig Børsen Hansen, a founding member who was one of two reviewers who presented the study to the Danish committee, resigned from the group in protest on Friday, citing major ethical issues with the study.

“You are now enrolling newborns in a lottery to test a hypothesis,” Hansen said. The children who are randomly selected not to receive the birth dose of the vaccine, those who “lost the lottery”, face in their earliest days the risk of contracting hepatitis B, which can cause irreversible lifelong damage. “They contract hepatitis B in the context of being part of a research project,” Hansen said, which made their infection happen, in effect, “by design”.

Three other members of the committee have also resigned in protest.
