A model of deaths caused over the first year following the destruction of USAID ran to nearly 0.8 million people, adults and children, across a range of causes, from HIV/AIDS to TB to malnutrition.
That's a MINIMUM number. And it is all due to Musk, Rubio, the orange and their henchmen.

John Oliver on right, mid-speech. On left, a ProPublica headline dated December 17, 2025 reads: โInside the Trump Administrationโs Man-Made Hunger Crisis.โ Below it, an article excerpt reads: โPregnant women โฆ so desperate for calories that they ate mud.โ
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 children to feed, and pregnant women were so desperate for calories that some resorted to eating mud: propub.li/4bzIaPi

On right, John Oliver talking to the viewer. On left, a ProPublica headline from February 15, 2025 says: โTrump Official Destroying USAID Secretly Met With Christian Nationalists Abroad in Defiance of U.S. Policy.โ An article excerpt below says: "... where he attempted to delay or halt dozens of programs โฆโ
2/ Oliver later referred to our reporting about former USAID lead Peter Marocco.
Officials told us they saw Maroccoโs gutting of the agency as a campaign of retribution against those who opposed his foreign policy agenda in the first Trump administration: propub.li/47CkZ4u

John Oliver (on right) gestures with his hands as he speaks. On left, a ProPublica headline from December 15, 2025 reads: โTrump Officials Celebrated With Cake After Slashing Aid. Then People Died of Cholera.โ An article excerpt below says: "... turning rows red, yellow or green every few seconds, never asking a single question.โ
1/ On yesterdayโs @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

Attacks on civilian systems, including water systems, must be condemned and punished under the laws of war.
Attacks on civilian water systems must be condemned and punished under the laws of war. We must repudiate such attacks and stop targeting water supplies, water systems, and other critical civilian infrastructure. #Water must never be a target or weapon of war.

My crazy prediction?
Trump will do a "Mission Accomplished" thing and then blame the lack of regime change on "cowardly" Iranians not rising up and overthrowing the government.
He'll then move on to some other distraction.
I give it a week or so tops.

Images published by Iranian state media show remnants of a US Tomahawk missile at a girlsโ school in Minab.
Itโs not possible to independently verify the provenance of the remnants from this imagery alone. But Bellingcat previously detailed how a Tomahawk missile hit a structure next to the school.

If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.

Reporter: You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war. But you're the only person in your government saying this. Why?
