John 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.”
1/ On yesterday’s @lastweektonight.com 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/4cCsSKP

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste

Trump administration subpoenaing Arizona 2020 voting records, as Trump pushes to consolidate election power
The administration has also obtained records from Fulton County, Georgia, as Trump continues to focus on the 2020 election he lost.
Another alarm bell in this five alarm fire.
Donald Trump is still trying to relitigate the 2020 election six years later.
He wants to scare election officials and election workers ahead of the midterms.
And he’s using the FBI to do it.

Thousands protested yesterday at 70+ Citizens Bank branches in 13 states, from Virginia to Vermont.
Our message was clear: Stop financing notorious ICE prison companies CoreCivic and The GEO Group.

Masuma Khan has lived in Altadena for nearly 30 years.
Last year, despite having no criminal history, she was detained by ICE and denied the medication she needed to breathe. Her family contacted my office, and we successfully advocated for her release.

How Democrats flipped 22 Georgia counties with a utility board race
The campaign for once-obscure regulatory positions could be a bellwether for midterm elections as skyrocketing electricity prices drive voters to the polls.
In a stunning upset, Democrats Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard unseated Republican incumbents Tim Echols and Fitz Johnson by record margins — installing Democrats on Georgia’s Public Service Commission for the first time in more than 20 years.

As oil prices soar, remember: It was four days ago when Trump said he helped “stabilize” gas prices, touting the “decisive action” his administration took “to help keep down the oil prices.”
Yeah, about that...

Even Trump’s team hedges on his claim about strike on girls’ school in Iran
The president blamed Iran for the strike on the Shajarah Tayyebeh elementary school building. His team did not.
As a rule, members of Trump’s team echo whatever he says, without regard for evidence, facts, or propriety.
But on the deadly strike on a girls’ school in Iran, that didn’t happen.

BREAKING: Judge Brann has ejected the new leaders of the NJ U.S. attorney's office, once again finding the Trump administration is illegally attempting to circumvent Senate confirmation.
He says this could result in dismissals of indictments.
