Cross-partisan support in Washington on issues like pesticides and food additives pose a threat to the industry's bottom line Some of the biggest food and agriculture corporations in the US are funding a campaign that pays social media influencers to combat elements of Robert F Kennedy Jr's Make America Healthy Again platform, according to an investigation by the Guardian and Documented, an investigative watchdog and journalism project.The ascension of RFK Jr to secretary of health and human services has boosted his putative campaign to end chronic illness in the US, which he believes is primarily caused by processed foods and dyes, exposure to certain chemicals, and poor farming practices, along with an overuse of what he falsely claims are dangerous vaccines. The “Maha” movement blends long-running mainstream concerns about food and farm safety with conspiracy theories about everything from medicine to milk.

$4 Billion Startup 'Corgi' Melts Down Into Real Life Social Media 'Mean Girls'
San Francisco insurance startup Corgi has found itself in the spotlight for reasons that have little to do with insurance, after controversial social media posts by employees triggered criticism, internal disagreement and questions about the company's unusual culture, according to the NY Post.
The latest controversy involved Nicole Clash, a Corgi marketing employee who came under fire for repeatedly using an ableist slur online and for a since-deleted post suggesting she would not police people who use the N-word.

Clash later said she deleted some posts after reconsidering them and emphasized that her comments did not represent Corgi.
That followed a separate blowup involving Brooke LeBlanc, Corgi's head of...

Trump Social Media Firm Sues Ex-Co-Founder, Claims He Gambled Away Company Cash in Wild Slot Machine Spree
X Strategies, the Florida social media firm that powers some of President Donald Trump's most-followed social media accounts, is taking its former co-founder Derek Utley to federal court, accusing him of quietly draining at least $5 million from the company to fund a jet-set lifestyle and a staggering gambling habit, according to POLITICO.
