Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo has advised all cities and counties statewide to stop adding fluoride to drinking water. Dr. Ladapo spoke at a news conference in Winter Haven, which announced last week it would not add fluoride to its drinking water by the end of the year. FLORIDA – “Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo announced new guidelines on Friday, advising that all cities and counties statewide stop adding #fluoride to drinking water.” BIG WIN! https://t.co/IqEEjfDtG1 — Fluoride Action Network (@FluorideAction) November 22, 2024 “It is public health malpractice with the information that we have now to continue adding fluoride to water,” Dr. Ladapo said. WATCH: FOX 13 Tampa Bay reports: The debate over whether fluoride poses a health hazard when ingested goes beyond the brain, with critics arguing it could also cause dental and bone diseases. Supporters of fluoridation, though, consider it one of the greatest public health achievements of the last century. Dr. Ladapo’s stance on the issue is in line with that of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. Kennedy has said he would recommend removing fluoride from drinking water nationwide. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is now studying the issue more, as well, although it could take up to three years to find out the results.

Dr. Joseph Ladapo addressed the new guidance for water treatment, saying fluoride is neurotoxic, causing adverse neurological effects. He touched on several studies that show that higher levels of fluoridation impact intelligence and create problems with executive functioning and decision-making, along with behavioral issues in children. Dr. Ladapo said formal guidance will be issued to municipalities to stop adding fluoride. He urged residents to speak with their local leaders. #BREAKING: Florida's health department officially recommends against fluoride in any drinking water. WOAH, this is big.

Kennedy Jr (@RobertKennedyJr) November 2, 2024 In a landmark decision, a U.S. federal judge ruled that water fluoridation at current U.S. levels presents an “unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment, without consideration of costs or other non-risk factors, including an unreasonable risk to a potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulation under the conditions of use.” Could Water Fluoridation Be Ended After Landmark Court Decision? “In a decision that could end the practice of water fluoridation in the U.S., a federal judge late Tuesday ruled that water fluoridation at current U.S. levels poses an ‘unreasonable risk’ of reduced IQ in children. The @EPA can no longer ignore that risk, and must take regulatory action, Judge Edward Chen of the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California wrote in the long-awaited landmark decision,” Children’s Health Defense wrote. “More than 200 million Americans drink water treated with fluoride at the ‘optimal’ level of 0.7 milligrams per liter (mg/L). However, Chen ruled that a preponderance of scientific evidence shows this level of fluoride exposure may damage human health, particularly that of pregnant mothers and young children,” the organization continued. “The verdict delivers a major blow to the EPA, public health agencies like the @CDCgov and professional lobbying groups like the American Dental Association (ADA), which have staked their reputations on the claim that water fluoridation is one of the greatest public health achievements of the 20th century and an unqualified public good. Fluoride proponents refused to reexamine that stance despite mounting scientific evidence from top researchers and government agencies of fluoride’s neurotoxic risks, particularly for infants’ developing brains. Instead, they attempted to weaken and suppress the research and discredit the scientists carrying it out,” it added. ?

We are thrilled to announce that the court has issued its opinion in the #fluoridelawsuit… and WE’VE WON! Details to follow tomorrow. — Fluoride Action Network (@FluorideAction) September 25, 2024 Per Fluoride Action Network: History has been made. After 7 years of pursuing legal action against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over the risk posed to the developing brain by the practice of water fluoridation, the United States District Court of the Northern District of California has just ruled on behalf of the Fluoride Action Network and the plaintiffs in our precedent-setting court case. A U.S. federal court has now deemed fluoridation an “unreasonable risk” to the health of children, and the EPA will be forced to regulate it as such. The decision is written very strongly in our favor, and we will share it in its entirety tomorrow. Below is an excerpt from the introduction of the ruling: “The issue before this Court is whether the Plaintiffs have established by a preponderance of the evidence that the fluoridation of drinking water at levels typical in the United States poses an unreasonable risk of injury to health of the public within the meaning of Amended TSCA. For the reasons set forth below, the Court so finds. Specifically, the Court finds that fluoridation of water at 0.7 milligrams per liter (“mg/L”) – the level presently considered “optimal” in the United States – poses an unreasonable risk of reduced IQ in children..the Court finds there is an unreasonable risk of such injury, a risk sufficient to require the EPA to engage with a regulatory response…One thing the EPA cannot do, however, in the face of this Court’s finding, is to ignore that risk.” In this moment, I want to recognize attorney Michael Connett for pursuing this case and leading the effort every step of the way. He’s a true superhero to all of us here at FAN. Many other amazing team members were also involved in making this a reality and deserve great appreciation and thanks, including our co-plaintiffs and all of you who donated and spread the word about our case. Take a moment to celebrate this momentous occasion tonight, wherever you are. After 7 years, we all deserve it.

Florida Representative Matt Gaetz , who withdrew from consideration as President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for Attorney General on Thursday, said on Friday that he will not be rejoining Congress next year.

Representative Barry Loudermilk, Chair of the Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight, released a report slamming the Department of Defense Inspector General. Barring new information, he engaged in an illegal coverup of the truth behind the Army’s failure to deploy the D.C. National Guard to defend the Capitol building as ordered.

Popular broadcast news journalist Katie Couric weighed in on the Capitol Hill bathroom controversy, stating that she found it “sh***y” that members of Congress are expected to use the bathroom that matches their biological sex. Her statements come on the heels of Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) introducing legislation that would require “members, officers, and employees of the House” to use bathrooms according to sex.  The bill was introduced this week as Democrats are preparing for their new member, Sarah McBride from Delaware, to become the first member of Congress to identify as transgender. A reporter asked Mace, “Is this effort in response to Congresswoman McBride coming to Congress?” “Yes and absolutely, and then some,” Mace replied. “I’m not going to stand for a man, you know, when someone with a penis is in the women’s locker room, that’s not okay.” Couric, meanwhile, took issue with Mace’s tone.  “Hey everyone, I’m just so disappointed that this Nancy Mace, a Republican from South Carolina, is being so rude, and I don’t know, just bigoted against Sarah McBride, who is a new congressperson from the state of Delaware,” the 67-year-old TV personality said in a video posted on TikTok Thursday. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE “I know Sarah. She is the first openly transgender member of Congress, and she’s an extraordinary human being, has done a great job representing the people of Delaware and is now going to be doing it in Washington, and it just seems nasty and mean, and cruel because she is the only member who is now forbidden to use the ladies’ room and it’s just sh***y, you know. Anyway, I just wanted to say that.” Couric isn’t the only one upset over the bill. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was fuming over the idea of people sticking to the bathroom that matched their sex, saying, “It’s disgusting. And everybody, no matter how you feel on this issue, should reject it completely.”  “They’re doing this so that Nancy Mace can make a buck and send a text and fundraise off an email. They’re not doing this to protect people. They’re endangering women,” she continued. “They’re endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It’s gross.” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) supported the move, noting that “each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol.” McBride also weighed in, saying, “I’m here to fight for Delawareans and to bring down costs facing families. Like all members, I will follow the rules as outlined by Speaker Johnson even if I disagree with them. This effort to distract from the real issues facing this country hasn’t distracted me over the last several days, as I’ve remained hard at work preparing to represent the greatest state in the union come January.”

MSNBC was apparently shamed into editing a Thursday headline on a piece covering the trial of illegal immigrant Jose Ibarra, who was convicted earlier this week for the brutal murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley. The piece was written by legal analyst Danny Cevallos and was initially headlined “Laken Riley’s Killer Never Stood a Chance.” It explored whether or not the conclusion of Ibarra’s trial — conviction on all counts followed by a sentence of life without parole — had been inevitable from the start. While the overall analysis — from the reasons that the defense chose a bench trial over a jury trial to the ultimate outcome of the trial and sentencing — was straightforward, the headline quickly raised eyebrows across X.
