More than 11,500 people across nine states have been sickened in the largest known cyclospora outbreak in U.S. history. The FDA rule designed to catch contamination like this faster was delayed by the previous administration — after produce industry lobbying.
The U.S. has recorded more measles cases in seven months of 2026 than in all of 2025. The outbreak map traces directly to states that adopted RFK Jr.'s vaccine policies — and the federal apparatus that would normally respond has been restructured by the same ideological network that produced the cri
The company suspected in a cyclospora outbreak gave $2.2 million to GOP infrastructure — including $1 million to a Trump-aligned PAC days after the administration delayed the food tracing rule it would have been required to follow. Thousands are now sick.
Independent analysis of the US-UK trade deal finds the NHS will divert billions from essential services to pay for American medicines — a structural transfer of purchasing power that analysts project will cause 229,000 excess deaths. Labour signed it anyway.
RFK Jr. is demanding that a scientific journal explain why it retracted a vaccine study he used to justify federal policy changes. The study was pulled for methodological failures. That sequence — policy first, retracted evidence second, pressure on the journal third — is the story.
The Trump administration refused to publish a multi-year international alcohol study. The findings — showing cancer risk at light-to-moderate drinking levels — would have triggered mandatory updates to federal dietary guidelines. The alcohol industry has been lobbying against exactly that outcome fo
Sen. Bill Cassidy, a physician, publicly blamed RFK Jr. for the resurgence of measles and whooping cough. It is the clearest Republican accountability for a public health failure that was entirely predictable — and one senator's X post is not the same thing as a consequence.
The EPA's proposed rollback of Biden-era PFAS drinking water limits doesn't dispute the science linking forever chemicals to cancer. It simply removes the legal requirement to act on that science — and the industry that spent decades causing the contamination spent years lobbying for exactly this ou
The term 'food desert' suggests a natural void. Food apartheid names the system that created it — and identifies who profits from keeping it in place.
Community organizations in Oakland's Latino neighborhoods built hospital-based violence intervention programs with documented results. Federal funding cuts are now forcing them to scale back — a policy choice whose consequences are not speculative.
The emergence of cychlorphine proves prohibition doesn't stop drug use — it forces underground chemists to create increasingly dangerous compounds that evade each new restriction.
A ProPublica investigation documents rising measles and whooping cough rates in states that weakened vaccine requirements following RFK Jr.'s recommendations — a public health crisis the administration refuses to acknowledge.
