Protect the Public's Trust

🚨 BREAKING: America’s leading plastic surgeons now recommend delaying gender-related surgeries for minors until at least age 19, citing low-quality evidence and serious ethical concerns around irreversible procedures on vulnerable youth. This echoes what Protect the Public’s Trust warned in 2024: when pressed to show the science behind claims that these treatments are “safe, effective, and medically necessary” for minors, HHS could produce just one thin document, after a lawsuit. As medical authorities reassess the evidence and patient harm becomes harder to ignore, one thing is clear: policies affecting children must be guided by rigorous science, not ideology. When the evidence is weak, caution isn’t cruelty, it’s responsibility. protectpublicstrust.org/press-releases…

Not everyone is against waste, fraud, and abuse - certainly not those who benefit from the fraud. Ohio spent $1 BILLION on home health care in 2024 with no way to verify if a single service was actually performed. One building alone housed 94 Medicaid-billing companies and racked up $66 million in charges, with barely a soul inside. This was happening miles from the state capitol. Nobody flagged it. Nobody stopped it. It took a DOGE data dump to make it visible to the public for the first time. In an age of artificial intelligence, the Medicaid system has seemed disinterested in even the most obvious red flags. If everyone turns a blind eye to the misconduct, the fraud grows and grows.

🚨 We raised this concern YEARS ago. PPT found out that CDC officials knew about serious vaccine side effects but failed to properly track them and buried critical data instead of clearly monitoring it. As our Director, @michaelpchamber said at the time, "It’s easy to claim there are no side effects when you refuse to track them." And the public? They didn’t get the full picture. Yet another reason why the public completely lost trust in its public health officials during this time. PPT 2022 Press Release: protectpublicstrust.org/press-releases…

The deeper you dig into the Morens indictment, the more disturbing it becomes. Here's what's buried in the details: 🔴 NIH's own FOIA office was coaching him. His inside contact, an "old friend who hates FOIAs," taught him how to make emails vanish before investigators could find them. The system is designed to prevent individual employees from doing this. 🔴 They literally changed the spelling of words. "EcoHealth" became "Ec~Health." "Andersen" became "Anders$n." Federal officials deliberately butchering words to hide from their own government's searches. They went to great lengths to cover their tracks. 🔴 He didn't just cover it up. He apparently got PAID for it. Kash Patel confirmed Morens allegedly received kickbacks for his role in the scheme. 🔴 When Congress hauled him in to answer for all of it? He laughed at them. All while secretly working to bring back the terminated bat coronavirus grant tied to the Wuhan lab. This wasn't sloppiness. This looks like a calculated, inside job, and we were sounding the alarm in 2024!

🚨 DOJ just indicted Dr. David Morens — Fauci's top NIH advisor — for conspiring to hide federal records on COVID-19 research, including a bat coronavirus grant tied to the Wuhan lab. We're not surprised. In June 2024, PPT filed a formal complaint with the HHS Inspector General demanding exactly this investigation. Why? Because Morens wrote, in his own emails, that he learned how to "make emails disappear" after FOIA requests, set up a "secret back channel" to avoid transparency laws, and told colleagues to ONLY contact him via personal Gmail. His IT team even helped make his Gmail "FOIA-proof." A colleague misspelled "EcoHealth" as "Ec~Health" to dodge keyword searches. All while pushing back against lab leak theories and working to reinstate the terminated Wuhan grant in the middle of a global pandemic. PPT Director Michael Chamberlain said it plainly: "The conduct alleged in this indictment represent egregious violations of the public's trust in its government, which is why we filed a complaint when the information first came out. This behavior clearly violates the standards all public servants should adhere to and denies the American people their right to know what their government is doing. We hope this is the beginning of efforts to address the misconduct that appeared to be so rampant among public health officials during the pandemic." 🔗 Read our original complaint: protectpublicstrust.org/press-releases…

BREAKING: A former senior advisor to Anthony Fauci has been INDICTED for his role in the COVID-19 coverup This guy might throw Anthony Fauci under the BUS 👀 David Morens and his co-conspirators FALSIFIED records in an effort to SUPPRESS the lab-leak theory, and used his personal Gmail account rather than his NIH email in order to avoid being FOIA'd Fauci might just be next!

We called this in June 2024. Dr. Morens bragged in writing about making emails "disappear" after FOIA requests and set up a "secret back channel" to hide communications from the public and we demanded an investigation! Today, DOJ delivered an indictment. 👀 🔗: protectpublicstrust.org/press-releases…

🧵4/4 And the public’s trust in some of society’s most prominent institutions – media, government, and education continues its decline. Read Here: mailchi.mp/protectpublics…

🧵3/4 Another report on an Arizona State staffer caught on undercover video admitting DEI practices remain embedded at the university – despite legal and policy changes. PPT has filed a federal complaint alleging the university continues these practices but has tried to keep them out of sight of parents, students, and regulators.

TRUST WATCH: From media conflicts to government ethics to higher ed accountability. Let’s take a look at everything that happened last week. A THREAD👇

Another reminder of what really goes on in Washington. Government funding too often supports employees and contractors in the DC area, not the global and societal issues it’s MEANT to address. High-paid federal officials fund NGOs with high-paid staff, who hire high-paid consultants and contractors. Some money may trickle down to those it’s intended for, but much of it stays in the same DC circles. This is why the revolving door between certain administrators and NGOs that we have exposed matters. So many officials move between administrations and government-funded NGOs. As we’ve documented, it was endemic during the Biden administration. This is The Swamp.

REMINDER: This ACTUALLY happened… PPT uncovered documents showing the Biden USDA pushed to integrate voter registration into food assistance programs like SNAP and WIC. That meant distributing forms, assisting applicants, and transmitting registrations - ALL during routine benefit interactions. Funds meant to feed families were diverted to voter registration drives among constituencies the admin thought would benefit them. Still wonder why the American public’s trust in its government all but disappeared during the Biden administration? protectpublicstrust.org/press-releases…

New records obtained by Protect the Public’s Trust show activist groups working behind the scenes to influence how the Biden administration implemented the Endangered Species Act. Emails reveal the Center for Biological Diversity and Harvard’s Animal Law Clinic pushed officials to embed sweeping climate change considerations into federal decisions, reverse prior limits on greenhouse gas analysis, and expand how agencies assess future risks to species. They also sought direct access to political appointees while expressing distrust in career government experts' dedication to fighting climate change. The Biden administration allowed special interests to drive policy behind closed doors, putting politics over science. justthenews.com/politics-polic…

🚨The endangerment finding was flawed from the start: Documents obtained by PPT show Obama EPA officials worked with outside activist groups, tossed scientific rigor aside, and rushed through a pre-determined outcome. Optics, power, and politics took priority over the science, giving the federal government virtually unprecedented power to intrude on the lives of its citizens. 🤦

The repeal of the 2009 Obama EPA Endangerment Finding: ✅ Is the single largest deregulatory act in American history  💰Cuts $1.3 TRILLION in regulatory costs 🚗 Makes new vehicles $2,400 more affordable 🪦Killed the incentive for manufacturers to install the much despised start/stop feature We are following the law and making life more affordable for all Americans. @LaraLeaTrump

This is precisely the type of relationship that would have The Guardian and its fellow travelers in high dudgeon were the benefactor conservative leaning. They have committed tons of ink and scads of pixels to declaring the death of democracy or the destruction of the planet when reporting on similar activity by individuals and organizations they oppose. Such glaring double standards go a long way in explaining the public’s lack of trust in legacy media. 🤨 Read more: dailycaller.com/2026/04/17/gua…

A 2023 House report alleges that CISA expanded beyond its original cyber defense role into monitoring Americans’ speech, with some efforts reportedly shifted outside the government to limit oversight. The documents reference several individuals previously linked to what critics call the “Censorship Industrial Complex.” They also include internal warnings suggesting election-related involvement may be inappropriate without a clear foreign threat, concerns that appear to have been overlooked. What began as “election security,” critics argue, gradually evolved into broader oversight of Americans’ speech.

Internal emails show Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) explored creating a rapid response team to handle so-called “informational threats” during the 2022 midterms. Plans included identifying potential “breaches” and shaping how those situations would be communicated. The activities moved beyond cybersecurity into censoring American citizens.
