1/ New, via one of our ongoing #FOIA lawsuits, ODNI has re-released two National Intelligence Council memos on intel agencies' COVID origins assessments with fewer redactions. Newly visible text describes the approach of the Energy Department, which favored a lab-associated origin with low confidence.

Former tobacco lobbyist Susie Wiles is leaving her post as White House Chief of Staff.
Today is my last day as White House Chief of Staff.
Serving President Trump in the White House has been the honor of a lifetime. I’m so proud to have been a part of what we’ve accomplished together from securing our border and cutting taxes to strengthening our economy and putting America First.
More than anything, I’m grateful for the extraordinary people I’ve had the privilege of working alongside. While my role may be changing, my commitment to the President and the mission never will.

Scientists say this pesticide needs a warning label for pollinators. Ongoing research at @wsu links buprofezin, commonly applied to tree-fruit crops, to “severe brood mortality” for honey bees.

1/ NEW @USRightToKnow has posted 831 pages of records recently obtained via #FOIA from the Department of Energy of communications to/from Amy Sims (ex-Baric lab researcher who later moved to DOE's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory) that document myriad projects & collaborations spanning Jan–March 2020. No bombshells, but they offer a view into the risky virus research field that remained ongoing as the pandemic emerged.

An early #MAHA Commission report warned about corporate influence over science and policy and raised health concerns about #cancer-linked glyphosate and atrazine. The final report — after intense industry lobbying — adopted language promoted by CropLife. usrtk.org/pesticides/pestici…

Must read BOMBSHELL investigation about pesiticide industry ties at White House. Seeing how sophisticated and powerful these special interests are behind the scenes was deeply disturbing.
The question is simple: Who is this administration protecting - our children or the pesticide industry?
Here's what @usrighttoknow uncovered:
- Warnings about glyphosate and atrazine disappeared from the final MAHA strategy, which proposed ZERO new pesticide restrictions.
- The pesticide lobby's president said, “The White House was very responsive.”
- CropLife America, backed by pesticide giants including Bayer, BASF, and Syngenta, celebrated the outcome as a major victory.
- 5,200 farmer letters, paid advertising, congressional coordination, and direct meetings with White House officials were part of the industry's lobbying campaign.

“The MAHA report was about healing America’s sick kids, and Croplife’s proudest moment was getting glyphosate and atrazine restrictions out of it?” @GlyphosateGirl
“I would like to see them present this ‘win’ at the hospital bedsides of pediatric cancer victims throughout farm country, and see how that resonate.”

Weakening the MAHA strategy is cited as top pesticide industry history last year. They argued “pesticides are strongly regulated.”
NOTE: The last EPA glyphosate review was thrown out because it was proven Bayer ghost-wrote research and bribed EPA officials.

1/ A follow-up to the latest #FOIA records posted by @USRightToKnow: In June, Joseph Murphy wrote in this essay that he faced “reprisal investigations” and efforts to prosecute him over his complaint alleging coverup of the DEFUSE prososal. He did not specify any resulting discipline.

A blockbuster article by @susrust in @latimes A must read which illustrates a familiar pattern by major polluters.
"Internal memos among company scientists and executives obtained by The Times reveal that for at least half a century, the plastics industry has been aware of and concerned about the potential for microplastic contamination in the human body."
