Jon Stewart answers a listener question about Pete Hegseth and impeachment. Cover your children’s ears.

These are some hard hitting facts.

Calling someone an idiot doesn’t make you right. Researchers have estimated that USAID funding cuts could result in millions of preventable deaths. These are projections, not invented numbers. USAID provided lifesaving food, medicine, and disease prevention worldwide. You can debate government spending, but denying the consequences of eliminating humanitarian aid doesn’t make those consequences disappear. Facts don’t require your permission.

@mebroadhead12 I realize facts can be inconvenient when they contradict your political beliefs, but shouting “LIAR” isn’t an argument. It’s what people do when they lack the knowledge to challenge the evidence. Perhaps try researching the issue before embarrassing yourself publicly.

@jmtomsick 55,000 people dead from AIDS is not a punchline. Behind every statistic are human lives, grieving families, and preventable suffering. What exactly is supposed to be funny about that?

@jloyd8 Calling something a lie doesn’t make it one. If you believe the claims are false, identify which ones and provide evidence. Personal attacks aren’t a substitute for facts. Disprove the claims, not the person making them.

@mhickey1950 The estimate comes from Brooke Nichols, an infectious disease researcher at Boston University, and her team. They used statistical models to estimate deaths linked to USAID funding cuts.

🇺🇸 GERMANY, 1981 — JUST 20 YEARS OLD, SERVING MY COUNTRY.

There I was, a young U.S. Air Force cameraman, capturing history without realizing how much those years would shape the rest of my life.

45 years later, I still carry the pride of having served my country. Those experiences, the friendships, and the lessons I learned will always be part of who I am.

To my fellow veterans, past and present: Thank you for your service. I’m proud to stand among you.

Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸

Four days before the 2025 inauguration, a company backed by a UAE royal agreed to buy 49% of the Trump family’s crypto venture for $500M. It stayed undisclosed for a year, per the WSJ.

[Alan Thomson @TheSysMechanic]

The evidence is well documented. Humanitarian organizations warned that abrupt USAID funding cuts would disrupt lifesaving HIV treatment, malaria prevention, food assistance, and emergency medical care. Researchers have projected millions of preventable deaths if those cuts continue. You can dispute the projections, but pretending the consequences don’t exist isn’t an argument.

Ex-GOP Adam Kinzinger: A spa company was close to bankruptcy. Then a fund tied to Don Jr. and Eric Trump invested $30 million. Conveniently, a subsidiary of that fund landed nearly $39 million in taxpayer-funded contracts to handle Ebola in Africa… despite having no Ebola or international experience.

The question isn’t how much I personally lost. It’s how much damage was done to veterans, seniors, working families, and Americans who depend on essential government services. Public policy isn’t just about your personal bank account. It’s about the consequences for millions of people. Try looking beyond yourself.

After Tuesday’s election results, the appointment of Stephen Miller as Chief of Staff, and Jim Jordan’s elevation to House Minority Leader, the GOP has told us how they will conduct themselves for the next two years.

Robert Garcia: ‘We will not stop until we get justice for the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein. That means real public hearings, getting the millions of documents, holding folks accountable, and getting real answers from someone that Jeffrey Epstein called his best friend—and that’s Donald Trump.’
