Along with recklessly recommending the contaminated and deadly experimental mRNA COVID-19 jabs to infants, the Biden administration has been quietly urging more than twenty countries to modify, delay, or reconsider their baby formula regulations intended to protect public health. Like its toxic relationship with vaccine manufacturers and Big Pharma, this pressure to undermine public health has often come after complaints from baby formula manufacturers like Abbott and Mead Johnson...

#4 Harris Campaign’s Google Ads Rewrite News Headlines - Sarah Fisher for Axios, Collin Rugg, Wall Street Silver, and Drew Hernandez, Karli Bonne on X
The Harris campaign has been editing news headlines and descriptions within Google search ads that make it appear as if the Guardian, Reuters, CBS News and other major publishers are on her side, Axios has found. Why it matters: It's a common practice in the commercial advertising world that doesn't violate Google's policies, but the ads mimic real news results from Search closely enough that they have news outlets caught off guard. According to Google's ad transparency center, the Trump campaign isn't running these types of ads, but this technique has been used by campaigns before. The ads say that they are sponsored, but it's not immediately clear that the text that accompanies real news links is written by the campaigns and not by the media publication itself...

#1 Americans Increasingly Want Woke Corporations to Shut Up About Politics - Sean Moran for Breitbart, Maat, Consumer Research, and John Solomon on X
Americans have become increasingly tired of business weighing in on current events in politics, according to a Gallup poll released on Tuesday. In 2022, 48 percent of Americans, or nearly half, wanted businesses to weigh in on current events and politics. Now, two years later, only 38 percent want them to weigh in on politics, a two-year drop from just two years ago. The Gallup survey also found that Americans across nearly all age groups, both genders, all races, and all partisan backgrounds want to hear less from corporations about how they feel about current events. Groups who were previously the most receptive to hearing from businesses are now considerably less likely to say so. In 2022, three-quarters of Democrats thought businesses should take a stance on current events; yet, over the past two years, that support has decreased by 22 percentage points...
