In February 2025, Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, leading the Department of Government Efficiency, slashed USAID contracts worth tens of billions, paused operations, and cut 1,600 staff, folding much into the State Department. Critics cite modeled estimates of millions of deaths by 2030 from halted aid like vaccines and food, with one post by Mohamad Safa drawing 22,000 likes by comparing the toll to Gaza's 45,000 and Ukraine's 600 child deaths. Defenders call USAID wasteful, with only 10-30 cents per dollar reaching recipients, while courts have ruled parts of the cuts unconstitutional and DOGE has since disbanded.

Key Takeaway

One year after Elon Musk called USAID cuts feeding the agency into a 'woodchipper,' a post claims those moves have killed more children than in Gaza and Ukraine combined.

Elon Musk stated late Saturday that Dubai and the UAE are objectively safer and better run than many European areas, hours after Iran fired 137 missiles and 209 drones at UAE sites in retaliation for U.S. and Israeli strikes.

Videos showed lively night scenes in Dubai, backed by Numbeo data ranking Abu Dhabi (88.9 safety) and Dubai (83.9) far above London or Paris, though critics noted geopolitical risks, strict laws, and Europe's petty crime issues.

Key Takeaway

As Iranian missiles lit up UAE skies, families strolled Dubai's streets past the Burj Khalifa, sharing videos of calm amid the alerts.

The clips actually show Putin on January 27, 2026, placing red roses at Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery in St. Petersburg to honor the 82nd anniversary of the Nazi siege of Leningrad being lifted—and to remember his older brother Viktor, who died at age two from starvation during the blockade. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Tehran late Saturday, prompting Putin's sharp condemnation as a 'cynical violation' but no such memorial from him. While ordinary Russians left tributes at Iran's embassy in Moscow, the recycled footage—complete with fake news graphics—spread rapidly before users and fact-checkers corrected it by noting the cemetery's snowy hills and prior coverage.

Key Takeaway

Videos circulating online depict Putin laying flowers for Iran's slain leader, but they capture a poignant family moment from two months ago.

Bill PL 4501/2024, introduced in November 2024 by Deputy Eros Biondini, would create a Strategic Sovereign Bitcoin Reserve managed by the Central Bank and Ministry of Finance. The latest version from rapporteur Deputy Luiz Gastão on February 9, 2026, targets 1 million BTC at a cost of about $69 billion, or 19% of Brazil's $358 billion reserves. Proponents see it diversifying away from U.S. dollar assets and hedging risks, with secure storage and public reporting required, though it must clear multiple committees amid economic hurdles.

Key Takeaway

Brazilian lawmakers just ramped up a plan to stockpile 1 million Bitcoin over five years—a move that could reshape the nation's reserves.

Eurostat data from 2021 and 2024 places Germany at the top with 51-53% of people renting, far above the EU average of 30-32%, while Romania sits at just 4.7-6%. Strong tenant protections like capped rent hikes and indefinite leases, plus high home prices and no mortgage tax breaks, keep homeownership around 47%—many Germans prefer city apartments anyway. Replies mix sarcasm like 'You own nothing and you will be happy' with defenses of the stable, affordable system, highlighting divides between secure renting in the north and ownership elsewhere.

Key Takeaway

A simple chart showing Germany with over half its households renting has people joking about a nation that rents everything from homes to dreams.

Tyler, a women's and gender studies graduate, shared how her classes ignored severe oppression in places like Iran, prioritizing local issues instead.

On Thursday, Jackson Hinkle's X post labeling Taiwan a 'fake country' under China drew sharp rebuttals and support, spotlighting Taiwan's limited diplomatic recognition by only 12 UN members and the Holy See amid the unresolved Chinese Civil War. Taiwan governs 23 million people democratically, holds multiparty elections, maintains a 215,000-strong military, and receives U.S. arms support, including a recent $330 million package. Public opinion strongly favors the status quo or independence, with over 80% rejecting China's 'one country, two systems' model, reflecting broader geopolitical divides.

Key Takeaway

Influencer Jackson Hinkle declared Taiwan a 'fake country' that belongs to China, igniting a heated online clash viewed over 65,000 times. The post amplified longstanding tensions between China's unification claims and Taiwan's 76 years of independent self-governance.

The U.S. has set June as the target for Ukraine and Russia to agree on peace, Zelenskyy announced after UAE-hosted talks in Abu Dhabi that delivered a swap of 314 prisoners—the first in five months—and restarted U.S.-Russia military dialogues. Zelenskyy highlighted Ukrainian intelligence on Russia's 'Dmitriev package,' a proposed $12 trillion economic deal with the U.S. that draws widespread skepticism for exceeding Russia's entire GDP many times over. While no breakthroughs occurred on core issues like Donbas status or the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, upcoming Miami talks signal continued U.S. pressure, as Zelenskyy calls for strong security guarantees amid ongoing Russian strikes.

Key Takeaway

In a closed briefing, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shared a surprising U.S. push: a June deadline to end the war, amid fresh prisoner swaps but unresolved disputes over land and security.

A24's Deep Cuts, Sean Durkin's adaptation of Holly Brickley's 2005-set novel about music-loving friends Percy (Cailee Spaeny) and Zoe chasing dreams, saw a casting change when backlash hit over A’zion's role. Over 100 Latino artists, including Eva Longoria and John Leguizamo, signed an open letter calling for authentic representation, and A’zion graciously exited. Barer, known from The Last of Us and How to Blow Up a Pipeline, expressed pure excitement, while A’zion cheered her on, turning the moment into a positive one amid broader Hollywood talks on ethnic accuracy.

Key Takeaway

Odessa A’zion stepped aside from the role of half-Mexican, half-Jewish Zoe after realizing she hadn't read the book, paving the way for Ariela Barer, whose own Mexican-American Jewish background matches perfectly.
