Republican lawmakers are putting Planned Parenthood's federal funding under the microscope. A coalition of 128 House and Senate Republicans is asking the HHS Inspector General to conduct a broad review of taxpayer dollars going to Planned Parenthood and its affiliates and, if appropriate, open an investigation. If federal officials uncover misconduct, the lawmakers want them to consider measures ranging from administrative action and suspension to exclusion from federal healthcare programs or referrals to other authorities. The request comes while the SBA separately reviews whether 38 Planned Parenthood affiliates were eligible for more than $88 million in COVID-era PPP loans. That review itself is not a finding that the affiliates broke the law. There's more in the lawmakers' request than the PPP money. Read what else they want examined: foxnews.com/politics/exclusi…

🚨"What Happened To Clementine?" UPDATE: Public records documents show Cercle Allocation Services—the aborted baby harvesting company that took baby Clementine Kearns at the Cherry Hill Women's Center in 2024—sold body parts from at least 14 other babies for $765 each to UCLA:

EXCLUSIVE: A fetal tissue procurement company charged UCLA $765 per organ specimen — then flagged its own billing language because it could imply the tissue was being illegally sold, newly obtained records show. Purchase orders obtained through a California public records request by the Center for Medical Progress show Cercle Allocation Services billed UCLA $765 apiece for fetal liver and thymus specimens, with one order totaling $5,355 for seven organs. The company insisted the charges were fees for procurement services, not sales — but internal correspondence reveals Cercle's own accounts manager warned staff that certain invoice terminology carried "improper implication that we are selling taxable items, which we are not." Federal law prohibits acquiring human fetal tissue for "valuable consideration" while permitting "reasonable payments" for transportation, processing and storage. CMP founder David Daleiden says the uniform per-specimen pricing — including multiple organs procured on the same date — raises questions about whether the payments were tied to individual organs rather than allowable costs. CMP plans to send the records to the DOJ and HHS. Reporting by @JasmineBaehr

An executive at Planned Parenthood Great Rivers has sued the abortion provider, claiming it fired her after she alleged an illegal abortion was conducted at its Fairview Heights clinic. Link in comments.

At his press conference today, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro accused me of promoting conspiracy theories because I told him, during an earlier telephone conversation, that some Americans had religious objections to the MMR vaccine because it contained fetal tissue. “There is no fetal tissue in the MMR,” he told me. This is a segment from a videotaped deposition of Stanley Plotkin, the inventor of the MMR vaccine. Plotkin admits to butchering 76 aborted normally developing fetuses, all over three months old, in just one of the many studies that led to the development of his vaccine. The rubella virus used in MMR-II is grown on the cultured cell line composed of lung tissue from an aborted three-month-old female embryo and listed as “WI-38 human diploid lung fibroblasts” in the ingredients of MMR-II as portions of these cells end up in each vial of MMR II. During Dr. Plotkin’s deposition, Attorney Aaron Siri asked: “Isn’t it true that MMR II contains approximately 150 nanograms cells substrate double-strand DNA and single-strand DNA per dose purposefully fragmented to approximately 215 base pairs in length?” Dr. Plotkin answered: “Yeah, that’s probably correct, yes.” This equals approximately 646 billion pieces of human DNA from an aborted fetal cell line in each vial of MMR-II. In addition to the human DNA, there is also an unspecified amount of human cellular debris in each dose of MMR-II. During our phone conversation, Governor Shapiro also accused me of promoting vaccine misinformation. When I asked him for an example, he was unable to provide one, but this did not deter him from publicly repeating that accusation during his press event. As I told him, HHS does not tolerate misinformation by any employee. I offered to point to hundreds of instances of vaccine misinformation by the Biden administration about which I had never heard him complain. Governor Shapiro also faulted me for the decline in Pennsylvania vaccination rates from 97% - 93.2%. When I pushed back on this assertion, he acknowledged that most of the decline occurred during the Biden administration. It’s unfortunately true that the government lockdowns, deceptions, manipulation, and overreach during Covid severely damaged public faith in the vaccine program. Governor Shapiro’s press conference was an example of the same species of gaslighting. The Trump administration is working to restore public trust not by gaslighting or manipulating, but by being truthful, at last, with the public.
