Lobbying and FEC filings from January 30, 2026, reveal a direct correlation between year-end defense contractor donations and the inclusion of unrequested hardware in the 2026 budget.

Leaked emails and investigative reports are putting Prince Andrew’s financial ties back under the microscope. We're looking at a 2019 whistleblower warning that allegedly hit King Charles’s private counsel, flagging how the Royal name was being traded for banking favors in Luxembourg. While tabloid rumors about an arrest haven't been confirmed, the hard numbers—like a £1.5 million loan payoff from financier David Rowland—point to years of the Palace looking the other way. Here's how a taxpayer-funded trade role was allegedly turned into a private piggy bank.

The U.S. State Department is trying to kick Imran Ahmed out of the country. Ahmed, who runs the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), is being targeted by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Undersecretary Sarah Rogers, who claim his pressure campaigns on tech giants like X and Facebook are a form of 'weaponized' censorship. While some paint this as a global conspiracy, it’s really about a nonprofit’s right to lobby the private sector. Plus, those rumors tying Ahmed’s team to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal? They’re baseless. It’s a bold shift in how the government uses immigration law to silence critics of its media allies.
Israel's economy looks okay on paper, but a deeper look at the numbers tells a much darker story. Despite a 19.4% GDP drop late last year, the real alarm bell is the $40 billion that institutional investors have yanked out of the country since October 7. While headlines focus on a technical rebound, the reality is a massive migration of wealth triggered by instability and a war bill climbing toward $80 billion. It's not just about the fighting—it's about whether the country's financial backbone is permanently snapping.
A Pentagon official used a federal 'urgency' loophole to bypass competitive bidding and award an $850 million logistics contract to RTX Corporation. Records reveal the official previously worked for a think tank that received $4.2 million from RTX during his tenure.
Meta Platforms Inc. deployed a record-breaking lobbying blitz in late 2025 to influence the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The resulting legislation removes the right of citizens to sue for data violations, replacing legal accountability with federal agency oversight.
A Gen Us investigation reveals that the 'experts' pushing for war on Sunday news shows are the same people sitting on boards of firms profiting from those wars. We track the 12:1 pro-intervention bias networks didn't tell you about.

This investigation tracks how tax dollars flow from the Treasury to RTX Corp via an emergency supplemental bill that bypassed standard bidding procedures.

FTC Commissioner Andrew Ferguson is investigating Apple News for anti-competitive gatekeeping through secret revenue-sharing agreements. These 'Preferred Provider' deals ensure legacy outlets dominate user feeds while independent competitors are suppressed by 30% fees and technical barriers.
History books love to focus on how the Ivittuut mine shaped the 'world order,' but they usually ignore the human and environmental wreckage left in its wake. In 1940, the U.S. locked down a monopoly on the world’s only cryolite supply just to hit a production target of 50,000 warplanes a year. It was a move that treated Greenland like a strategic warehouse rather than a sovereign nation. Gen Us analysis highlights how the Inuit perspective and the literal scars on the land are still sidelined in the 'dog-eat-dog' hunt for resources. We need to understand this history now, especially as the U.S. looks back at the Arctic for the minerals needed in the green energy transition.
First things first: Jesse Jackson is very much alive. Despite what a recent Jacobin feature claims, the civil rights icon hasn't passed away. The outlet seems to have accidentally hit 'publish' on a pre-written obituary used to anchor a $14 subscription drive, framing Jackson as the perfect, flawless bridge between MLK and Bernie Sanders. To make that narrative work, Jacobin airbrushed out the anti-Semitic slurs, the corporate 'shakedowns,' and the bitter feuds with King’s inner circle. Gen Us takes a look at the real record the socialist publication decided to ignore.
In a recent sit-down with Fringe Finance, independent journalist Matt Taibbi argued that the political establishment is effectively shielding itself through the agonizingly slow release of Jeffrey Epstein’s court files. He also dropped a bombshell—claiming his outlet, Racket News, was targeted by a British intelligence operation involving 'human intelligence sources'—but he didn't offer any proof to back it up. While the story, amplified by ZeroHedge, frames these events as a coordinated cover-up, it largely ignores the mundane legal realities of court-ordered privacy reviews. By leaning into these unverified surveillance claims, Taibbi seems to be building his brand as a government target as much as he's reporting the facts.
A viral TikTok video of students chanting 'F**k ICE' has turned into a high-speed outrage machine for outlets like ZeroHedge and Modernity.news. The footage shows real student unrest, but our analysis shows the 'classroom presentation' label is a total misrepresentation. These were actually independent student walkouts happening nationwide in early 2026. By pretending these were school-sanctioned lessons, these reports are trying to build a case for stripping federal funding from public schools. They've left out the basic facts—like which school it actually was—while leaning on unverified assault stories to make things feel more dangerous than they are.
The U.S. Navy bypassed competitive bidding to grant Oracle America, Inc. a ten-year deal worth up to $7.13 billion by utilizing technical specifications only Oracle could meet. This procurement follows a 22% increase in Oracle's political contributions to the specific House committees responsible for overseeing defense spending.
The Internal Revenue Service granted a private firm a sole-source billion-dollar monopoly over taxpayer identity verification despite years of controversy regarding biometric privacy. This decision bypasses government-owned alternatives and forces citizens to hand sensitive facial scans to a for-profit entity.
Internal documents reveal The Guardian is automating 15% of its workforce using the same technology it publicly warns will destroy independent journalism. The move follows an undisclosed $15 million 'integration partnership' with a major artificial intelligence developer.
CNN editorial staff framed February 2026 inflation data as a policy success while omitting sharp increases in shelter costs that affect the working class. This narrative was supported by analysts whose firms hold $1.2 billion in securities sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.
A leaked seven-page document confirms that Labour Together—a think tank tight with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer—hired PR giant APCO Worldwide to keep tabs on journalists like Paul Thacker and Matt Taibbi. While some are calling it an illegal spying operation, the file looks more like a messy opposition research dossier, complete with 'Lorem ipsum' placeholders. The target? Anyone poking holes in the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH). MP Josh Simons claims the investigation was a response to an 'illegal hack,' but the leaked text doesn't actually back that up. It's a look at the messy overlap between political strategy and press surveillance.
