Senator Rand Paul is challenging the legality of a broad, preemptive pardon reportedly granted to Dr. Anthony Fauci by President Joe Biden. Paul argues that the pardon is too unspecified, covering a ten-year period without naming a specific crime.

Tulsi Gabbard releases a statement alleging the existence of over 120 US-funded biolabs in 30 countries, including facilities in Ukraine.

Gabbard credits President Trump with signing an executive order in May 2025 to end federal funding for such research globally.

Senator Rand Paul chaired a hearing featuring a CIA whistleblower who alleged the agency downplayed evidence of a COVID-19 lab leak to avoid blaming China.

The organization is described as a clearinghouse that can kill investigations or retaliate against whistleblowers.

The debate over mRNA technology continues as Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. halts $500 million in federal research funding, claiming the vaccines are ineffective against upper respiratory infections. While some experts credit the technology with saving millions of lives during the pandemic, others view it as a "recipe card" for proteins rather than traditional biology.

The Oversight Project has uncovered widespread use of an "autopen" to affix President Joe Biden's signature to controversial documents, including pardons for Anthony Fauci and Mark Milley.
