Food IS medicine! We should be making it easier to Eat Real Food in America — not easier to get sicker! HHS and CMSGov are grateful to the hospitals that have stepped up by signing our MAHA pledge to bring healthy, all-natural food to their cafeterias.

It’s an illusion to think that processed food is cheap because you end up paying for it with diabetes, autoimmune dysregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation and more. The MAHA Report is about getting every American to demand accessibility to good whole foods in their neighborhoods.

The next billion dollar brand is going to center "the creative" in the same way Nike centered the athlete. I'm not talking about "a brand that produces tools for creators" (like Apple or Figma)... I'm talking about a brand that lets the average consumer buy into creativity the same way Nike lets you buy into victory, or Ralph Lauren lets you buy into heritage. Alexander Wang just launched Real:ly Tea, a sparkling tea beverage with L-Theanine to support the creative lifestyle. This is the first attempt to own this trend. We're going to see: - functional food/bev and supplements to support creativity - apparel and footwear designed for the creative process, that evolves into lifestyle brands - creator tools pivot to multi-category lifestyle brands

🔥Pharma insider who got RFK Jr to say—on record—that the Covid jabs constitute "mass murder" TORCHES MAHA as a "propaganda operation" "MAHA came from Calley and Casey Means, two propagandists" "[They] were very explicit that [MAHA's] going to be anything but vaccines" "they came from that [food] angle, with particularly designed propaganda policies... designed to subvert any possible reform of vaccines or... real drivers of chronic illness. And it was designed to basically tank Kennedy's platform" "[But] I'm not going to offer excuses for [RFK Jr] because the fish rots from the head. If this is where your movement is, whatever that is, that's the fault of Kennedy" "by the way, the Health Freedom Movement is not MAHA. MAHA is a political lobby group. MAHA is a fund to raise money, divert resources, divert attention, come up with excuses upon excuses upon excuses of who is holding Kennedy hostage and who is preventing him from doing what and how the secret plan is still unfolding. That's what MAHA is" This clip of retired pharma R&D executive Sasha Latypova (sashalatypova.substack.com "Due Diligence and Art") is taken from a discussion with Steve Kirsch (Steve Kirsch) posted to the VSRF (Vaccine Safety Research Foundation) Rumble channel on July 7, 2026. ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- Kirsch: "Do you think it's— what MAHA was doing, do you think what they were doing was productive or counterproductive?" Latypova: "Well, I was very clear from the start, from September 2024 when first MAHA policy was published in The Wall Street Journal, I was clear right from that point that MAHA was a political, propaganda operation. "And it was from the start designed for this particular purpose so that they, they, the propagandists like New York Times and many others, I have been recently reviewing blogs that are published by Center for Inquiry. Although they pretend these are independent blogs, but all the bloggers are related to the Center for Inquiry, where Richard Dawkins and Carl Sagan were on the board. "And so that's the group that issues propaganda policies like this. And MAHA didn't come from that. MAHA came from Calley and Casey Means, two propagandists tied to their father, Grady Means, who was a staffer for Nelson Rockefeller and who is a very well-known globalist, and his obsessions of food control. "And so they came from that angle, with particularly designed propaganda policies which was designed to subvert any possible reform of vaccines or actually real dangers, real drivers of chronic illness. And it was designed to basically tank Kennedy's platform. "Now I removed my trust and support from Kennedy a while back, based on his actions. So I'm not going to offer excuses for him because the fish rots from the head. If this is where your movement is, whatever that is, that's the fault of Kennedy. "Same as with Trump. If we see destruction of the economy and we see high prices, inflation, the wars, all of that, that's Trump. That's not Susie Wiles, that's not his advisors, that's nobody but them but these people. "In any case, I would like to say that from the very beginning I predicted that this would happen. That MAHA was a propaganda op designed for Hegelian dialectic, for attacks such as these, such as New York Times. They've written numerous articles like this. They just basically recirculate the same notion for the Center for Inquiry blogs. "They recirculate the same exact narrative, the same strawman arguments, the same ideas that, oh, the same coalition, oh, these MAHA infightings and constantly quoting me as a disgruntled MAHA, where I was always clear, I wasn't part of MAHA. I knew—it was transparent what was going on and how it was designed. "So I'm not at all surprised by this article. I've seen numerous versions of it. I was quoted in New York Times in one of these articles by Benjamin Mueller in May. And, yeah, this is how it's designed. This is designed to fail. "This is designed to say, Well, you know, Kennedy tried, but all these advisors and all these dividers and all these people who can't agree on things and can't march in lockstep. Well, you see, that's why he's not capable. This is how it always works. So here we are." Kirsch: "Okay, but, vaccine skepticism has been a core component of the MAHA movement, hasn't it?" Latypova: "No, because Calley and Casey Means were very explicit that it's going to be anything but vaccines. And by the way, Health Freedom Movement is not MAHA. MAHA is a political lobby group.

Today, 90%+ of healthcare spend (all $4.5T of it) goes towards treating chronic conditions after someone is sick. Less than 3% of that spend goes towards prevention. Truemed exists to get more people investing in True Medicine. Exercise, food, supplements, movement, sleep, toxin removal… lifestyle interventions that help people treat and prevent disease, not just treat the symptoms of underlying sickness. We’re building tools that allow qualified individuals to unlock the $160B in tax-free HSA/FSA funds, and use them on these root-cause interventions. Since launching just 2.5 years ago, we’ve helped almost a million individuals pay for these interventions, and we’re just getting started. If we want to fix healthcare in America, we fundamentally have to help Americans get healthier. I’m extremely proud to announce our $34M Series A led by a16z, and am excited to continue our work to end the chronic disease crisis.

You’ve probably heard the news by now: Minnesota fraudsters stole over $1 billion from Medicaid. And you deserve an explanation. Our staff at CMS told me they’ve never seen anything like this in Medicaid — and everyone from Gov. Tim Walz on down needs to be investigated, because they’ve been asleep at the wheel. Based on what we know now, this is a clear dereliction of duty. First, the facts: In recent years, Minnesota Medicaid launched several new programs, including Housing Stabilization Services, which helped disabled homeless individuals, and Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention, which reimbursed therapy costs for families with autistic children. Some bad actors in Minnesota’s Somali community decided to game the system. And when they got away with it, they decided to go bigger. The housing program was supposed to cost $2.6 million dollars annually. Last year, it paid out over $100 million. The autism program ballooned from $3 million in 2018 to nearly $400 million in 2023. These scammers used stolen taxpayer money to buy flashy cars, purchase overseas real estate, and offer kickbacks to parents who enrolled their kids at fake autism treatment centers. Some of it may have even made its way to the Somalian terrorist group Al-Shebab. So why didn’t Walz stop them? That’s simple: because he went all-in on identity politics. Somalis are a huge voting bloc, and the state’s leaders were afraid that “forcefully tackling this issue might cause political backlash.” That’s not me saying that. It’s a Somali-American fraud investigator who talked to The New York Times. Somali scammers get rich off the programs Gov. Walz was supposed to be managing. Minnesota politicians get elected with Somali votes and keep the money flowing. This isn’t just fraud: it’s political patronage at public expense. When Minnesota told CMS about the problem last year, they assured us they’d handle it. By summer, it was obvious they couldn’t — or wouldn’t. So, we stepped in and shut down the worst program: housing. We also froze provider enrollment in a few of the most abused programs. So where do we go from here? To restore the integrity of the Medicaid program, Minnesota must: 1. Provide CMS with weekly updates on how the state is stopping fraud. 2. Freeze enrollment of all high-risk providers for 6 months. 3. Confirm all providers in place are legitimate or remove them. 4. Send CMS a corrective action plan of how these will prevent this from happening again. If we’re unsatisfied with the state’s plans or cooperation, we’ll stop paying the federal share of these programs. The message to Walz is clear: either fix this in 60 days or start looking under your couch for spare change, because we’re done footing the bill for your incompetence. With CMS on the case, these scammers and their bureaucratic enablers have nowhere left to hide. The vulnerable Americans who depend on these programs — and the taxpayers who fund them — deserve the truth.

Today, CMS notified Governor Walz and the state of Minnesota that we are deferring an additional $91 million in federal Medicaid funding. This follows a pattern we can’t ignore. From the “Learing Center” scandal to the recent DOJ action involving childcare centers, Minnesota’s Medicaid program has shown serious vulnerabilities to fraud. These are not isolated breakdowns—they point to systemic issues that must be addressed. Here’s the reality: the federal government funds roughly half of Medicaid. That gives CMS both the authority and the responsibility to ensure those dollars are spent legally and appropriately. When they’re not, we act. Earlier this year, after auditing Q4 FY2025 billing, we deferred over $250 million. Of the $91 million deferred: • $76 million is tied to 14 service categories highly vulnerable to fraud • $14 million involves program integrity concerns, including payments for ineligible individuals We’re giving Governor Walz as much support as we can to turn this around. However, we cannot and will not pay bad bills so we’re asking for more information from Minnesota to verify these bills. CMS will continue using every tool available to protect Medicaid’s integrity—because this program must serve the most vulnerable Americans, while honoring the trust of taxpayers. More updates to come. As always, I’m grateful to Vice President JD Vance’s leadership as CMS plays its part in the whole-of-government effort to root out fraud.

A Must Watch! Instead of seeing disagreements in the MAHA movement as a problem, MAHA Action President Tony Lyons believes they’re one of its greatest strengths. “A lady from the New York Times who I was just talking to, said that she sees there's a lot of discord in the MAHA movement.” “The interesting thing about that is that there's always going to be a lot of discord and disagreement between people who are thinking.” “Because if you're not brainwashed and if you're really free, you're going to think about everything.” “You're going to read everything and you're going to really try to get to know yourself and your own body, you're going to talk to your doctor, you're going to research and get to know your own child really well.” “What's true for one person isn't going to be true for another person.” “So people can really disagree authentically and they can come to different conclusions generally or different conclusions based on what they know about themselves or what they know about their children.” “And that’s good, that's healthy, that's something we should be proud of.” “That's what everybody ought to do.”
