Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.

Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

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

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...

"How will you pay for it?"

The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...

"How much do you need?"

It doesn't have to be this way.

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.

I wouldn’t put it past them, but is there independent confirmation of this? Doesn’t Phillip Nieto write for The Daily Mail? Brits call this tabloid the β€œDaily Fail” for a reason, so I’m not assuming this is the most credible reporting.

Subpoena all of it. And him, too. The FBI found this witness credible enough to interview her four times. Enough with this cover up.

A Saturday scoop from @schuylermitchell.bsky.social: Previously unreported documents show that DHS wants to build a tool that would track personal travel data, including passenger names and their itineraries. Last year, a similar program was shuttered over public outcry.

US troops report commanders framing Iran war as 'God's plan'
As first reported by independent journalist Jonathan Larsen, a US combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers that the war on Iran is part of "God's divine plan," allegedly claiming President Donald Trump was "anointed by Jesus" to ignite Armageddon. The complaint, filed with the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, is one of more than 110 logged within 48 hours from over 40 units across at least 30 installations.
Complainants, including Christians, a Muslim, and a Jew, have requested anonymity to avoid retaliation. The Pentagon has yet to respond.

When I say that dispensational theology (rapture theology) is dangerous, this is what I mean. Bad theology kills.
