As seen on @lastweektonight.com 👀 The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so we did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations: projects.propublica.org/rx-inspector
John Oliver (on right) gestures with his hands as he speaks.

As the Trump administration has relentlessly pursued immigrants, federal agents have run roughshod over the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens. We’re showing you every incident we’ve confirmed — along with the receipts: propub.li/3TBuddL
500+ U.S. citizens detained since the start of the second Trump administration. 100+ U.S. citizens held after agents questioned their citizenship. Nearly all of them were people of color. At least 70 American children and teens detained, some of whom were handcuffed. 36 U.S. citizens held for at least a day without being able to contact a lawyer or family.
