One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 5, 2026 - The Trump administration sought to assign bogus death dates to 2.7 million people living in the United States, a flagrantly illegal misuse of Social Security Administration (SSA) data intended to pressure immigrants into leaving the country, a new government insider account reveals.
That shockingly high number far exceeds the 6,000 administrative "killings" previously reported last year in The Washington Post. It comes in a legal disclosure by Jeremiah Schofield, a former SSA senior executive, who was in the room when a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) official laid out a plan to "kill off" millions of people in SSA's master database.

katzbanks.com
KATZ BANKS KUMIN
The DOGE official, private equity investor Jon Koval, said in Schofield's presence that the purpose of "killing off" the 2.7 million living people was to ruin their lives and push them out of the country. Explaining the scheme, Koval said that either the 2.7 million people would selt-deport or they would go to their local Social Security office to prove they are alive where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) could detain and forcibly deport them.
Schofield's explosive revelations are being made public today by U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal and Elizabeth Warren. The senators are seeking answers from SSA Commissioner Frank Bisignano and three individuals who worked with DOGE at SSA, including Koval, and demanding the officials preserve all records related to the events detailed in Schofield's account.

@barkmeta
Let me explain what just happened 👇

5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.

5 minutes…

These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.

There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.

Someone in that room picked up a phone.
And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.

American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it.
