1/ On yesterday’s @lastweektonight about USAID, John Oliver cited several of our investigations.

First up was our reporting about how DOGE operatives had arbitrarily cut aid programs, in some cases by literally clicking through a spreadsheet: propub.li/4bbPEXlJohn Oliver (on right) gestures with his hands as he speaks. On left, a ProPublica headline from December 15, 2025 reads: “Trump Officials Celebrated With Cake After Slashing Aid. Then People Died of Cholera.” An article excerpt below says: "... turning rows red, yellow or green every few seconds, never asking a single question.”
2/ Oliver later referred to our reporting about former USAID lead Peter Marocco.

Officials told us they saw Marocco’s gutting of the agency as a campaign of retribution against those who opposed his foreign policy agenda in the first Trump administration: propub.li/3N8HZBmOn right, John Oliver talking to the viewer. On left, a ProPublica headline from February 15, 2025 says: “Trump Official Destroying USAID Secretly Met With Christian Nationalists Abroad in Defiance of U.S. Policy.” An article excerpt below says: "... where he attempted to delay or halt dozens of programs …”
3/ Finally, Oliver brought up our reporting on how cuts to aid caused an American-made hunger crisis.

At one refugee camp, mothers had to choose which of their kids to feed & pregnant women were so desperate for calories that some resorted to eating mud: propub.li/40iWl59John Oliver on right, mid-speech. On left, a ProPublica headline dated December 17, 2025 reads: “Inside the Trump Administration’s Man-Made Hunger Crisis.” Below it, an article excerpt reads: “Pregnant women … so desperate for calories that they ate mud.”

A common misconception:

Money in your 401k and IRA's are locked away until you retire

Let me show you FIVE powerful strategies to access dollars in your retirement account any any age at all:

(bookmark this post for later)
1 - Borrow up to $50K from your 401k (or $100K if married)

You can borrow money from your 401k for any reason, at any time at all

Even though you have to pay a market interest rate, the interest goes right back into your 401k account!

Very powerful esp. with a Solo 401k
2 - Roth IRA Contributions

Did you know you can take out dollars you have contributed to your Roth IRA at any time at all?

There's no penalties or taxes due at all

You cannot withdraw earnings, but no taxes will be due until all contributions are withdrawn first

This is a great example of confession through projection. I am totally flabbergasted.

There are 58 Muslim countries and one tiny Jewish one and it is the size of New Jersey.

Tucker does not believe that the indigenous Jews of Eretz Yisrael should be able to live in peace in their homeland. He obviously does not believe in G-d, the power of prayer, or the Bible. But Tucker Carlson did claim to be attacked by a demon in his bed...
2)
who left scratch marks on him. Anyone who has read the Torah knows witchcraft is strictly forbidden within Judaism.

See.

“You shall not allow a sorceress to live.”

State IQ maps are interesting because they mostly reflect racial demographic mix.

Very interestingly, they've collaborated with other Antifa doxxing pages such as ByWayofPlymouth a Boston based antifa account.
Under promise of anonymity, we received information from a source claiming to be “Antifa”, but complaining about the involvement of both Paul Minton and Scotlyn Schmitt in Antifascist circles.

MY VIEW ON THE IRAN WAR

Most people seem to think nothing important is happening. They are still posting about baseball and influencers, and don't understand why I would drop everything to argue against this war. In this thread I'll share my view for my readers.
First of all, this war was started by the US and Israel without justification. National interest aside, it is morally wrong to go starting wars without justification. The stain of this unnecessary violence will haunt America for years to come.
The war rhetoric coming out of the Department of Defense is highly disturbing, and in some cases nakedly evil.

Renaming the DoD the Department of War is a red flag in itself. Promoting real violence with video game clips is psychotic. I could go on, but I won't....

After 10 days of war between Iran 🇮🇷 and the USA/Israel 🇺🇸🇮🇱, the economical situation is worsening

Here is a new MAP UPDATE with the military situation, the economical situation, some analysis and some prospects :

🧵THREAD🧵1/25 ⬇️Image
The war has been going on for now more than 10 days and the repercussion are felt worldwide.

Iran held despite constant strikes which obliterated its navy and airforce and still continues to launch important drone and missile strikes across the region.
The death of Ayatollah Khamenei which was quickly replaced within ten days by his son didn't have the expected results.

The Iranian president and part of the leadership is still alive, while the IRCG individuals now understood that their bases are not safe. Image

1/ Bitcoin for Corporations is $STRC. In Las Vegas, Prevalon Energy, @Anchorage Digital & @ORANJEBTC announced they hold $STRC on their balance sheets🧵
2/ Ben Hunnewell, CFO of Prevalon Energy shared "STRC will change the world." The rails are already in place in TradFi - adopting $STRC isn't difficult. Prevalon currently holds an 8-figure $STRC position as a treasury asset, parking capital in $STRC until it's ready to deploy.

🧵Will get lost in geo-political turmoil & its domestic impacts, but the Govt's cohesion plan is imo well pithced & quite bold avoiding usual 'kumbaya' and placing more emphasis on responsibilities/ expectations necessary for a cohesive society than is normal in this type of work
The plan does a good job in identifying the cocktail of factors that have put strain on cohesion - extremism, levels of immigration, foreign actors, but also economic and technological change from deindustrialisation to living/working more online. On top of years of permacrisis Image
Ditto sections on resetting the social contract i think quite squarely where most of the public are - tolerance/openness to different views and cultures but also some fundamental expectations about integrating into our shared culture, respect for our traditions in values. Image
