But here’s one that most assuredly deserves defunding. Long before DOGE was launched, Lighthouse Reports, a consortium of public interest journalists, undertook an investigative report (“Poison PR”) in collaboration with the UK Guardian newspaper that highlighted the role of a U.S. taxpayer-funded PR operation in building a database of environmentalists.
