NEW Op-Ed: "In Washington, D.C., changing your mind can be portrayed as weakness. In reality, it is often a sign of leadership.
That is why Sen. @RogerMarshallMD deserves credit for withdrawing his support from the Food Security and Farm Protection Act." kansascity.com/opinion/artic…

🚨 Communist China is clearly meddling in U.S. agriculture & nobody is talking about it. The CCP has made it clear it wants to hijack our agricultural industry & food supply. THAT CAN’T HAPPEN!
We have some big votes coming up with the Farm Bill & this problem needs to get fixed.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE 🚨
The Smithfield-China lobbying cover-up scandal I exposed last week just got worse.
Just 24 hours after my exclusive viral story last week about how China-owned Smithfield’s @SmithfieldFoods @SmithfieldBrand longtime lobbyist from @GT_Law Greenberg Traurig hid the company’s Chinese ties and was forced to report it after a watchdog complaint, Smithfield’s lobbying disclosure was amended AGAIN on Sept. 3 to ERASE any mention of the company’s CCP-linked Chinese owner 万洲国际 (WH Group).
This is super shady.
Here’s the timeline:
On July 20, Smithfield lobbyist Christopher DeLacy at Greenberg Traurig @GT_Law checked "NONE" on the foreign-interest disclosure box when asked on a federal form whether his lobbying for Smithfield to influence the Farm Bill and allow China to own U.S. farm land benefited any foreign interests. They wrote the same thing on all disclosure reports dating back to 2023.
On August 18, after a watchdog group filed a federal complaint, the disclosure form was amended and resubmitted to add that Smithfield’s Chinese owner 万洲国际 (WH Group) had an interest in the lobbying.
Then, on September 3, one day after I exposed the coverup and it went viral, the firm submitted another amendment to its lobbying disclosure that completely deleted any mention of Smithfield’s Chinese owner (after adding it 2 weeks earlier).
What the hell is going on? Smithfield is 87% owned by China. Their CCP-connected Chinese owner obviously has an interest in their lobbying on the Farm Bill, the Save Our Bacon Act, and other efforts to give Communist China more control of the US food supply.
With the next Farm Bill vote approaching soon, Smithfield’s lobbyist’s cover-up of the company’s Chinese ties is extremely alarming and needs to be investigated immediately.
Congress, the Trump Treasury Department and the American people deserve the truth about the extent of China’s dangerous influence over our agriculture and food policy.

Smithfield Foods (87% owned by CHINA) is lobbying the Save Our Bacon Act, an effort to give Communist China MORE control of the U.S. food supply.
Protect America's independent farmers and keep Big Pork's terrible 'SOB' Act out of the Farm Bill and year-end spending bill. #NoSOB

The FDA Modernization Act 2.0 will accelerate innovation and get safer, more effective drugs to market more quickly by cutting red tape that is not supported by current science.
I’m proud to have led the charge. The inclusion of this bipartisan effort is a step toward ending the needless suffering and death of animal test subjects – which I’m glad both Republicans and Democrats can agree needs to end!
A major shift away from animal testing is underway across the federal government.
Today, FDA updated its drug-development regulations, replacing references to “animal tests” and “animal studies” with broader “nonclinical” terminology and making clear that validated non-animal approaches can be used where appropriate. FDA also released a database containing 25 real-world examples of New Approach Methodologies already appearing in its regulatory review materials.
And FDA isn't acting alone.
HHS announced that its agencies have launched more than 20 initiatives aimed at advancing human-based research and reducing reliance on animals. NIH alone announced more than $88 million in biomedical infrastructure investments and plans for a new laboratory combining human organoids, robotics, AI, and advanced data capabilities.
Congress changed federal law in 2022 through the FDA Modernization Act 2.0. Today's FDA action updates regulatory language to reflect the broader category of nonclinical testing recognized under federal law.
Human cells. Organs-on-chips. Organoids. AI and computational models.
The federal biomedical research system is expanding the tools available to researchers—and reducing reliance on animals where validated alternatives can provide the needed evidence.

ICYMI: The Save Our Bacon Act was not part of the Senate version! SMALL FAMILY FARMS WIN! #FarmBill
“Save our Bacon” act - China and Big Ag pushing trash food standards on us. Exact opposite of MAHA. iowacapitaldispatch.com/2026…
We stopped the PRO-CHINA "Save Our Bacon" Act!
Shame on @SenJoniErnst! The SOB would allow China to take root in the heartland of America, posing a significant threat to states' rights and farming sovereignty.
HOLD THE LINE as the Farm Bill heads to the full Senate for a vote!
"I NEED A RULING FROM THE CHAIR!"
@SenJoniErnst LOSES IT while demanding a vote on the PRO-CHINA "Save Our Bacon" Act that would overturn state agriculture laws in favor of foreign conglomerate Smithfield.
Thankfully, @SenateAgGOP REJECTED the terrible SOB from the Farm Bill!

It has been an honor fighting against @SenJoniErnst's so-called "Save Our Bacon" Act.
Thankfully, the Farm Bill passed WITHOUT bringing home Big Pork's handout to CHINA.
We will continue to keep fighting to protect America's independent and family farmers! #NoSOB
It has been the honor of a lifetime to fight for Iowa’s pork producers, and I’m grateful to receive @NPPC’s “Bringing Home the Bacon” Congressional Award.
I’ll keep fighting for our farmers and producers and working to get a strong, updated Farm Bill across the finish line!
ICYMI: "Save Our Bacon" Act protects the industrialized agriculture model and punishes farmers
Lawmakers should be focusing on REAL, structural changes to agriculture that will help struggling farmers.
The 'S.O.B.' would make problems for farmers WORSE. agriculture.com/partners-iow…

KEEP OUT! The Save Our Bacon Act could take away a competitive advantage for small farmers. #FarmBill
It will only help large pork producers like Smithfield (the largest pork producer in the world, owned by Chinese pork group WH). #NoSOB ktiv.com/2026/09/09/iowa-por…
YES. Let let the terrible 'S.O.B.' die in committee, @SenateAgGOP. It will only help large pork producers like Smithfield. Smithfield is the largest pork producer in the world, owned by CHINA. #FarmBill
A little scoop on how tight Midterm matrix is impacting legislation — sources indicate GOP opposition to the Save Our Bacon Act is bigger than it looks. Privately, many Senate Republicans feel it's bad policy — but they're staying quiet to avoid boxing in Ashley Hinson, the bill's sponsor, in Iowa's pivotal Senate race.
Their quiet hope: let it die in committee. No vote, no fingerprints …

🚨 FARM BILL ALERT: Iowa farmers argue that the so-called "Save Our Bacon" Act will harm farmers and is insulting to consumers. #NoSOB
Some Iowa producers argued Wednesday that the federally proposed Save Our Bacon Act will harm farmers by taking away diversified markets and by sending a message to consumers that they are not entitled to a choice in what they eat. agriculture.com/partners-iow…

ICYMI: GOP Lawmakers Funded By China’s US Pork Lobby Are Trying To Hijack The 2026 Farm Bill
Republicans can't claim 'America First' while helping a China-controlled conglomerate undermine American voters and farmers!
Farm Bill to be voted on again 9/15. loomered.com/2026/09/08/gop-…
ICYMI: Lawmakers funded by China’s U.S. pork cartel are pushing the so-called "Save Our Bacon" Act that could help the CCP tighten its grip on our food supply!

China-owned Smithfield Foods controls 1,600 pig farms across 10 states, 25% of the U.S. pork market, and about 85,000 acres of American farmland.
This Chinese owned pork company has been lobbying Democrats and Republicans in support of @RepAshleyHinson and Sen. @SenJoniErnst's Save Our Bacon Act, H.R. 4673.
That bill would overturn voter-approved state animal-welfare laws, block similar laws in the future, and would allow China to keep owning U.S. farmland.
Why are we allowing brutal and inhumane Chinese style pig confinement and Chinese ownership of US farmland under a GOP controlled Congress?
Hinson and Ernst have taken campaign cash from Smithfield.
So why do Republicans keep saying they will not allow China to own our farmland when they clearly have no problem with that as long as the campaign checks are big enough?

This is absolutely insane. @RepAshleyHinson’s #SaveOurBaconAct is being hailed by China Weekly as a way to “significantly increase China’s share of the U.S. pork market.”
I thought she was all about protecting American farmers and saving Iowa hog producers?
Looks like the campaign donations have revealed her true colors—and they sure as hell aren’t: red, white, and blue. 🇺🇸
They seem to be red and gold. 🇨🇳
