PHOENIX, AZ - Millions of taxpayer dollars were spent on transgender surgeries and treatments on animals, House Oversight Committee Chairman Eli Crane (R-AZ) confirmed yet again this week.
According to reports, the committee revealed that $241 million in taxpayer dollars were used to study transgender surgeries and treatments on animals. What is perhaps more, former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases chief Anthony Fauci gave the green light to the bulk of these cruel and unusual experiments.
“Insane, right?” Crane said of the report on Tuesday.
The confirmation is welcomed but the news is not new, as taxpayer watchdog White Coat Waste Project (WCW) has continued to bring these realities to light. Testifying at an Oversight hearing earlier this month, Senior Vice President of Advocacy and Public Policy at White Coat Waste Project Justin Goodman testified that the $241 million spent on transgender animal testing is merely the “floor” of this so-called research.

WASHINGOTN D.C. - In a sweeping legal defeat of the former Biden administration, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ruled that the administration’s student loan forgiveness efforts were unconstitutional. The ruling effectively declares illegal the vast majority of the $188.8 billion in loan forgiveness granted to 5.3 million borrowers.
This decision comes after the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling in Biden v. Nebraska, which struck down an earlier $430 billion forgiveness plan. Despite this, the administration continued to push widespread debt cancellation through executive action, a move that legal experts and lawmakers argued was an overreach of executive authority.
The Mackinac Center for Public Policy and Cato Institute, in partnership with the New Civil Liberties Alliance as lead counsel, challenged this latest loan forgiveness attempt in multiple lawsuits. The Center also filed amicus briefs in support of other legal efforts to stop the administration’s actions. Click here to read more.
THOMPSON COVE BEACH, Turks and Caicos Islands - A woman reportedly lost her hands to a shark attack while she was trying to take a selfie with the large creature.
According to The New Zealand Herald, the woman was reportedly a 55-year-old Canadian tourist visiting the Thompson Cove Beach in the Caribbean.
The woman reportedly "attempted to engage" the 6-foot-long shark, at which point the animal attacked her and seriously injured her hands. The outlet reported that the woman needed to have one of her hands amputated below the wrist and her other arm was amputated halfway up her forearm.
Other beachgoers saved the woman from an even worse fate, with her husband scaring off the shark after the attack and strangers gathering around her and using their clothes to slow the bleeding. Click here to read more.
HELENA, Mont. — Legislators heard a bill on Friday that would make Montana the first state to ban the use of mRNA vaccines.
House bill 371, sponsored by State Rep. Greg Kmetz (R-Miles City) and introduced alongside a dozen other Republicans, would ban the use of mRNA vaccinations on humans, and provide for misdemeanors to be issued to violators.
According to Johns Hopkins, gene-based vaccines include those to protect against Covid-19, and vaccine manufacturers are developing mRNA vaccines to protect against other respiratory viruses.
Friday’s hearing on the bill in House Judiciary lasted well over two hours, with proponents arguing these vaccines have caused short term side-effects and could have long-term impacts that are unknown, and that they could shed to others.
“Gene-based vaccines, or mRNA vaccines, are the most destructive and lethal medical products that have ever been used in human history. I am asking you to support this bill banning gene-based vaccines so we can halt continued harm, disability, and death of our citizens,” said Christine Drivdahl-Smith, a family physician in Miles City and volunteer board member of Montana Medical Freedom Alliance.

The Massachusetts Teachers Association (MTA) has been promoting the use of anti-Israel teaching materials that includes phrases such as “Zionist bullies” in workbooks for students.
MTA president Max Page was called to a hearing on Feb. 10 by the Massachusetts Commission on Combating Antisemitism regarding the materials, during which he consistently defended them despite the committee pointing out the blatant anti-Israel bias contained in the documents. A Parents Defending Education (PDE) dispatch first shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation provides the teaching materials promoted by MTA, which PDE called “antisemitic.”
Some of the materials provided to educators included Palestinian “activist” guides and a children’s book that says “a group of bullies called Zionists wanted our land so they stole it by force and hurt many people” and “children like me keep having their homes taken by Zionist bullies.” The documents also encourage children to protest and help “Free Palestine.”
During the hearing, committee members pointed to several social media posts by Page’s staff stating “Free Palestine” just days after Hamas’ deadly Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel. Page defended his staff’s posts to committee members. The MTA president also refused to disclose who compiled the resources meant to teach students about the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel. Click here to read more.
