Today @americansunlight.org published a report we've been working on all fall, detailing the worrisome connections and quack science in the MAHA movement, the Bolsonaro health ministry's failed COVID policies and President Trump's "gold standard" HHS: americansunlight.substack.com/p/how-maga-u...

How MAGA Used Problematic Research From Brazil To Push False Covid Cures

When research didn’t support Trump’s pandemic “game changer” claims in 2020, his administration went to Brazil. Today, Trump’s “gold standard” anti-science HHS mirrors Bolsonaro's.

🎒 September 🚫 Partnered with @indicator.media to expose how DSA non-compliant ads for nudifiers were running unchecked in the EU indicator.media/p/meta-ran-4... static1.squarespace.com/static/6612c... 7/

Meta ran 4,000 more ads for AI nudifiers. That may not be the worst part.

The company is making it easy for the advertisers to conceal their identity

What struck me about Illia’s analysis is how familiar this tactic has become to the United States in such a short time; this sort of lawfare is being used by the MAGA movement to great success, particularly against disinformation researchers.

Proud to publish this piece from my former student, who writes that Russia's lawfare in the European Court of Human Rights is "transforming [it] into an unwitting accomplice in one of the most sophisticated disinformation operations of the modern era.” americansunlight.substack.com/p/russias-la...

On Kash Patel’s “enemies list.” Facing threats, smears, and now retribution. ASP’s @ninajankowicz.com isn’t staying quiet. In her new @msnbc.com op-ed, she calls out the Trump admin’s crusade against truth and what it means for all of us. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

I'm on Kash Patel's 'enemies list.' Just as I expected, the retribution has begun.

New investigations of John Brennan and James Comey are just the latest examples of a troubling trend under the second Trump administration.
