Rand Paul: "For decades they’ve lied to us. They told us your newborn baby needs an Hepatitis B vaccine on day one, when almost no baby is at risk. That single lie destroyed trust in every vaccine."

A nurse in Iran helped wounded protesters. The security forces killed her. Then abused her body. Then used her finger to unlock her phone and sent the images of sexual abuse to her husband. Listen to her story and please on’t stop talking about Iran. 💔

Wonderful to see evidence that mRNA vaccines may be the basis of curing one of the deadliest forms of cancer! In these times we have no shortage of things to be anxious and angry about. But huge advances in medical science, like mRNA technology, are things to celebrate!

It was my 27th time testifying in Ottawa yesterday, but my first before the House Affairs Committee. I explained what happened with La Presse, and how my 25-year collaboration with the paper was halted following personal comments I made about how public funding may be influencing editorial decisions across the country. I never once criticized La Presse itself—yet here we are. In Ottawa, several witnesses, including Peter Menzies, former editor of the Calgary Herald and Calgary Sun, expressed similar concerns. Something needs to change. The public is not being properly informed about critical issues affecting agriculture, food security, affordability, and more. No media would report on this today, for obvious reasons. Very few media outlets examined how counter-tariffs impacted food prices. It took the U.S. Ambassador to Canada—an American—to acknowledge that Canada was in breach of CUSMA, not our own media. Prime Minister Mark Carney eliminated those counter-tariffs shortly afterward. It also took three full days before anyone asked where the $14 billion would come from to fund the grocery benefit program. Media are not to blame—they are doing their best under tremendous pressure. Public funding for media is not inherently the problem. The issue is that funding private media has become partisan, and that, in my view, makes a significant difference. After 25 years, I can say something has changed—dramatically—and it is not good for our democracy.
