By crippling publicly-funded research, Russell Vought follows Project 2025's plan to force innovation to the private market (& away from public funding). Then, oligarchs have total control of what even gets researched - whatever reaps the shortest term, highest profits - for themselves.

Babies who don’t get the vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop severe bleeding. In many cases, oxygen can’t reach their brains and blood pools around their skulls. Yet driven by misinformation, more parents are refusing the injection. (Published May)

Babies Are Bleeding to Death as Parents Reject a Vitamin Shot Given at Birth
A lifesaving injection given at birth to prevent severe bleeding has become collateral damage of the anti-vaccine movement.

We found some more fraud, waste, and abuse. The third government-funded Trump ad has been identified by AdImpact in recent days. The latest ad is nearly identical to a video Trump posted during his 2024 presidential campaign. It shows him walking down a hallway declaring, “This is the final battle.”

The Trump administration is moving to strip federal protections from millions of acres of wetlands across the country. A new EPA and Army Corps proposal would dramatically narrow which waters qualify for protection under the Clean Water Act. Wetlands aren’t wasted space.

Tonight’s moonrise over Seattle was filtered through layers of smoke and haze, giving the moon that deep orange glow as it climbed behind the Space Needle. The clouds drifting across it made the whole scene feel especially dramatic Sunday night.
