    In this episode ofThe Feds, Jodi O’Malley, MSN, RN, a nurse and HHS whistleblower, shares her experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the ethical dilemmas faced by healthcare professionals. She discusses the impact of fear and propaganda on healthcare practices, her journey of speaking out against vaccine concerns, and the legal challenges she faced as a result. Jodi emphasizes the importance of patient advocacy, ethical nursing practices, and the need for healthcare workers to refuse silence in the face of corruption.

     

    Jodi is the founder of the Nurses Out Loud radio show and has developed a multi-week ethics course rooted in the 2025 Nursing Code of Ethics, designed to equip nurses and the general public to take effective action when met with corruption.

    In this episode ofThe Feds, host Stephanie Weidle, welcomes Joel Wallskog, MD, and Breanne Dressen, co-founders of React19, a leading advocacy organization dedicated to supporting individuals impacted by COVID-19 vaccine injuries. The discussion delves into the critical challenges and systemic failures surrounding the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) and the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), exposing inefficiencies and perceived corruption within these systems.

  • 101. Sections 453 & 507: Will Congress Allow Americans’ Poisoning? | Dr. Meryl Nass, MD | The Feds

    This week onThe Feds, we are joined by Meryl Nass, MD, founder and president of Door to Freedom, medical advisor to Children’s Health Defense, and host on CHD TV. Dr. Nass provides an in-depth analysis of two concerning provisions in the 2025 House Appropriations Bill: Sections 453 and 507. 

     

    Section 453 prohibits funding for timely updates to product labels and safety recommendations, a critical issue given that successful lawsuits against chemical giant Bayer have often relied on labeling disputes. Dr. Nass explains the far-reaching implications of this rider for public health and safety.

     

    Additionally, Dr. Nass examines Section 507, which restricts government funding for the implementation or further study of a January 2025 EPA report. This report documented the toxic and carcinogenic effects of "forever chemicals" found in sewer sludge used as agricultural fertilizer, raising serious environmental and health concerns.

     

    Who in Congress is writing and supporting these sections? Why? What can YOU do as an American citizen?

     

    Tune in for this compelling discussion on critical policy issues impacting public safety and environmental health. This is an episode you won’t want to miss!

  • 99. Settlement Reached!! Inside F4F’s Historic Fight Against Government Overreach

    In this compelling episode, host Stephanie Weidle welcomes Trent McCotter, seasoned partner at Boyden Gray PLLC and head of its administrative-law practice. Trent previously served as Deputy Associate Attorney General of the United States and as an Assistant U.S. Attorney.



    Trent dives into the landmark settlement between Feds For Freedom (F4F) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), signed on August 7, 2025, following their challenge to the federal employee COVID-19 vaccine mandate issued on September 9, 2021. He recounts the lawsuit's timeline, from securing a pivotal January 2022 injunction that preserved over 400,000 federal jobs, to the recent agreement where the DOJ committed to actions like destroying certain vaccine status records (with opt-out options for those seeking discovery, such as employees facing ongoing retaliation, versus opt-in for those preferring a clean slate).



    Trent addresses whether this settlement implicitly acknowledges government overreach, contrasts negotiating with the Biden DOJ versus the incoming 2025 Trump DOJ, and speaks to critics who argue it falls short on accountability. He shares eye-opening discoveries from four years on the case, explains why his firm boldly took it on when others declined, and explores how this non-precedential win can still advance justice for others still seeking remediation.

  • 98. Get Uncomfortable: A Decision HAS to be Made | Kacy Dixon | The Feds

    In this gripping episode of The Feds, host Stephanie Weidle sits down with Kacy Dixon, a former military intelligence officer and JAG attorney, to unpack the ongoing legal and administrative challenges surrounding the reinstatement of military personnel impacted by COVID-19 vaccine mandates.


    Kacy reveals how refusal of vaccines, testing, and masking has created significant hurdles in the reinstatement process through the Board for Correction of Military Records (BCMR), where the work and burden of proof unfairly rests on service members. She discusses the broken religious accommodation process, marked by blanket denials during COVID that have set a troubling precedent for flu shot declinations, and shares insights from her candid conversations with senior Pentagon officials. Highlighting systemic flaws, including scrubbed records and "failure to promote" labels blocking reinstatement, Kacy proposes a dedicated BCMR subgroup to streamline COVID-related cases and advocates for retroactive severance pay through new appropriations as a fair resolution for all, including the military.

    Kacy emphasizes the urgent need for accountability, noting that some officials acted knowingly while others were negligent, yet all must face consequences to prevent future injustices. With no clear mechanism for accepting reinstatement offers and a military legal system that courts have deemed a "sham," this episode exposes critical gaps in the process and explores solutions that could restore trust and fairness. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the fight for justice, the complexities of military policy, and the path toward meaningful reform in this post-mandate era.
