xAI’s chatbot, Grok, faced scrutiny and international investigations for allowing users to create nonconsensual s*xualized images of women and children in recent weeks.

Nevertheless, dozens of major corporations — including Amazon, Google, Chipotle, Apple, Gatorade, and the NFL — continued advertising on X, according to a Popular Information investigation.

Popular Information identified 37 major companies that were actively advertising on X on January 12. All 37 either declined to comment or did not respond.

On November 18, Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) visited Trump at the White House. During his meeting with MBS, Trump agreed to provide Saudi Arabia with unprecedented levels of cooperation and support.

Now, a few weeks later, MBS appears to be returning the favor.
The Trump Organization announced it would be partnering with Dar Global to build a $7 billion “Trump-branded hotel and golf course” in Saudi Arabia. The development in Diriyah “will include 500 mansions, priced between $6.7 million and $24 million.”

The project is part of Diriyah, a $63 billion development financed by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF). MBS is the chairman of PIF.

In an interview last week with reporters from the New York Times, Trump claimed that the civil rights movement resulted in discrimination against white men. According to Trump, white men have been “very badly treated,” “not invited” to attend college, and excluded from jobs.

This isn’t just Trump speaking off the top of his head. The idea that white men are the primary victims of discrimination in the U.S. is driving administration policy.

Trump’s claim that, as a group, white men are discriminated against in higher education and the job market is flatly false.

On January 7, Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother, was fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis. After her death, Good was subjected to a vicious smear campaign by the president, the vice president, administration officials, and their allies.

The baseless attacks against Good are a coordinated, brazen and callous government propaganda effort. The goal is to convince Americans to believe an official narrative over objective evidence — including video of the incident.

Meanwhile, the FBI is blocking state law enforcement from conducting an independent investigation while selectively leaking information to partisan outlets. Minnesota officials are calling it a cover-up.

On Monday, Popular Information reported that the U.S. military raid that removed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro from power could be a financial windfall for Paul Singer, a Trump-supporting billionaire.

Less than a week after the military raid, Venezuelan oil is on its way to the United States. On Tuesday evening, Trump announced on Truth Social that Venezuela would be “turning over” between 30 and 50 million barrels of oil. The heavy crude will be “brought directly to unloading docks in the United States.”

In an extraordinary letter sent to a federal judge Monday, Attorney General Pam Bondi admitted that the DOJ has not disclosed more than 99% of the files related to convicted s*x offender Jeffrey Epstein — despite a federal law that required full disclosure by December 19.

In the letter to the court, Bondi suggests that the DOJ is working as quickly as possible but there has simply not been enough time to review the Epstein files since the law was passed last year.

This directly contradicts Bondi’s previous claims that a review of the Epstein files was initiated last February and was completed no later than July.

Five years ago today, on January 6, 2021, a violent mob stormed the Capitol building. Following the attack, over a hundred major companies released statements condemning the insurrection and promising to stop donating to the 147 members of Congress who voted to overturn the 2020 election, or to halt all political donations entirely.

Most companies that pledged to stop donating to these lawmakers have broken their promise. Popular Information identified 10 companies that have upheld their promise to stop donating to members of Congress who voted to overturn the 2020 election.

In a Saturday morning military raid ordered by Trump, U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

The extraordinary attack, which legal experts said violated U.S. and international law, created a financial windfall for a prominent Trump-supporting billionaire, investor Paul Singer.

On Wednesday night, Trump delivered a prime time address to the nation that was aired by all major broadcast networks. It preempted the season finale of “Survivor” on CBS, the season finale of “The Floor” on Fox, and holiday specials on ABC and NBC.

Typically, networks will interrupt their primetime schedule for presidents to address wars, crises, or very significant new policies. In his remarks, Trump delivered his standard talking points, bragging about his mass deportation policies and tariffs and attacking Democrats. The only crisis was Trump’s sagging approval ratings.

The speech's partisan political content was not a surprise. The networks decided to break precedent and air it anyway. The networks have declined to air prime time speeches from the last two Democratic presidents, claiming they were too political.

This week, Jared Kushner abruptly canceled his plans to build Trump Tower Belgrade after the project became enmeshed in a criminal corruption scandal involving Serbian government officials.

Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, has resumed his role as one of Trump’s top foreign policy advisers. But Kushner has also continued to run his private equity firm, Affinity Partners.

The collapse of the deal is a case study in how Kushner’s dual role as an international investor and top Trump foreign policy advisor puts immense pressure on foreign governments. In Serbia, according to prosecutors, the pressure to deliver Kushner what he wanted was so great that top government officials were willing to violate the law.

Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were found dead at their home in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Just hours after his death, President Trump attacked Reiner. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Reiner’s death was “due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.”

Reiner was an outspoken critic of Trump. But he leaves behind a rich political legacy that began long before Trump’s political career. Reiner redefined celebrity political advocacy, not only lending his voice to important causes, but also implementing strategies that brought change.

Rob Reiner, an actor, writer, and director, and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, a photographer and producer, were found dead at their home in Los Angeles on Sunday.

There is a massive measles outbreak spreading rapidly in upstate South Carolina. Already, 111 people have contracted the virus.

Measles was “declared eliminated from the United States in 2000.” But that is due to the effectiveness of the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella vaccine. In Spartanburg County, the immunization rate in schools is 90%.

In response to the South Carolina measles outbreak, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nation’s top public health official, has said nothing. Kennedy Jr. has a long history of promoting dangerous misinformation about the MMR vaccine, which has contributed to lower vaccination rates.
