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

She came to the US as a toddler after being adopted by a US Air Force officer.

The regime wants to deport her to Iran.

A country they’re intent on destroying.

They want to send her to her death.

One thing the right has always disliked about Clinton is that she take governance seriously, however imperfectly that manifests. I’m not sure that difference in approach has ever been more obvious.
