- 2017 to 2026COVID-19 Hospital Payment Bonuses, Remdesivir Approval, PREP Act Hospital Immunity, and Pre-2020 Pandemic PlansIn 2020 Congress paid hospitals 20 percent more for every Medicare patient with a COVID-19 diagnosis and then added a bonus for new treatments, the Food and Drug Administration approved remdesivir seven days after the World Health Organization's own trial found it had little or no effect on death, the government told the public not to take ivermectin in words a federal appeals court later said it had no authority to use, and the March 2020 declaration that gave drugmakers immunity was read by a state supreme court in 2026 to shield a hospital from a patient's death. The plans written before the pandemic had said not to do most of what was done: the government's 2017 guidance said an exposed household in a severe pandemic should stay home for up to three days, and the WHO's 2019 guidance said quarantine of the exposed and contact tracing were not recommended in any circumstances. At a Senate roundtable on September 28, 2026, patients, relatives, nurses, and doctors described what they say was done to patients in hospitals; no hospital or health agency took part, and the senator's office has released no report on it.Health, Food & Regulators
- September 20 to October 7, 2026Austin, Texas Traffic Stop: ICE Officer With Body Camera Off Shoots Unarmed Driver in the BackOn September 20, 2026 an ICE officer shot Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez, a 28-year-old Venezuelan man who was delivering food for DoorDash, in the back in North Austin after a traffic stop over a deportation order and a car chase. The officer who fired had no body camera on, and the other officer turned his off during the chase, before the shot. The federal complaint's only account from the officers of why the shot was fired is what the officer who fired told his partner by phone afterward: that Garcés Pérez tried to hit him with his car. Garcés Pérez told the investigating agent that the officers' SUV struck his car and spun it around and that the officer then fired into it. He was charged with assaulting a federal officer, which carries up to 20 years. On September 30 a magistrate judge found probable cause for the charge and ordered him held as a flight risk, though not as a danger to the community, and the agent who swore the complaint testified that no one on his team had interviewed the officer who fired. The same day ICE told its officers not to chase vehicles and to wear and activate body cameras at every vehicle stop. The bullet was removed on October 1, eleven days after the shooting. Austin police, the Texas Rangers, and the Travis County district attorney are investigating the shooting, and as of October 2 the district attorney said DHS had given local investigators no footage or reports.Police, Courts & Prisons
- 1947 to 2026The Unexplained UFO and UAP Cases in Air Force, CIA, DIA, and Pentagon RecordsThe Air Force closed 701 of its 12,618 cases as unidentified. The study it paid for in 1968 wrote that the McMinnville photographs were consistent with "an extraordinary flying object, silvery, metallic, disk-shaped, tens of meters in diameter, and evidently artificial," and left four other cases unexplained. The Defense Intelligence Agency rated a 1976 report from Tehran, in which an F-4 lost its instruments and its weapons panel as it closed on an object, as confirmed by other sources and of major significance. An Air Force deputy base commander reported "unexplained lights" and a triangular metallic object in an English forest in 1980. The Navy has said since 2019 that the objects in its videos are unidentified. The War Department has released 78 records it titles "Unresolved UAP Report," and its office wrote in June 2026 that a red light six federal agents watched sit over a ridge for hours near a nuclear site "is physically incompatible with the burn-time and descent rate of any known military flare."CIA, War & Covert Operations
- 1947 to 2026What Declassified US Government Files Actually Show About UFOs (1947–2026)The Air Force took 12,618 reports of unidentified flying objects between 1947 and 1969 and could not explain 701 of them. Its own contractor found in 1955 that the better the witness, the more often the object stayed unknown. A CIA panel in 1953 recommended a public campaign of debunking, and the CIA wrote in 1997 that over half the reports of the late 1950s and 1960s were its own U-2 and OXCART flights, which the Air Force covered with misleading explanations. The Navy said in 2019 that the objects in its three videos were unidentified, the Director of National Intelligence told Congress in 2021 that it could explain one report in 144, and the Pentagon's office has since reported 757 cases in one year with 21 worth further study. A witness told a House committee under oath in 2023 that the government held recovered craft and non-human biologics; the Pentagon's 2024 review found no evidence that any investigation had ever confirmed a sighting as extraterrestrial. Congress wrote a disclosure law with eminent domain over recovered technology and passed only the part about records. In 2026 the War Department began posting its files, 447 records in six releases so far.CIA, War & Covert Operations
- November 2025 to October 2026Union City, New Jersey Police Arrest and Felony Indictment of Citizen Journalist "Leroy Truth"On November 14, 2025 a citizen journalist named Leonard Filipowski, who records his encounters with officials under the name Leroy Truth, was arrested at the Union City, New Jersey Board of Education building after an argument with a police lieutenant, Glen Gaston. The police report says he "forcefully struck Lt. Gaston in the upper body area causing him to fall backwards." Filipowski says "it didn't happen" and that his own video of the arrest shows the lieutenant grabbing him and both men going to the floor. A grand jury in Essex County indicted him on April 22, 2026 for third-degree aggravated assault on an officer, after hearing the lieutenant testify that he was elbowed in the chest and tore a hamstring, according to a recording of the presentation published on YouTube. The case was moved out of Hudson County because of a conflict with its prosecutor's office and later moved back. A judge was to rule on a motion to dismiss on October 8, 2026, but the ruling was put off until December, and Filipowski says his next hearing is December 11.Police, Courts & Prisons
- September 3 to October 1, 2026YouTube's September 2026 Ban on Firearm Sponsorships Following Gun Control LobbyingOn September 3, 2026 YouTube replaced its policy on paid product placements with a policy on branded content, which it defines as content a creator makes under a brand's influence in exchange for payment, free products, or a sponsorship. The new page lists weapons and ammunition among the things branded content may not feature, says the rule covers the whole video, and says YouTube may remove videos that break it. YouTube told creators the rewrite brought no dramatic changes. In 2024 its spokespeople described its rule on gun sponsorships differently to two news outlets. Thirteen days after the announcement The Smoking Gun, a program of the Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund, published a report on gun channels and their sponsors that said the change came while the report was being written. Gun Owners of America says the change likely came from pressure by gun control groups and officials, as it says the 2024 changes did. The record shows who asked YouTube for changes before, who claimed credit, and what YouTube said about it. It does not show why YouTube made this one.Congress, Elections & Speech
- 2013 to 2026Why European Central Banks Are Pulling Their Gold Reserves Out of the New York FedOn September 2, 2026 the Dutch central bank said it had moved about 86 tonnes of its gold out of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Bank of Canada to London between March and August, in view of increasing geopolitical unrest, so that the gold could be sold quickly in a crisis. France's central bank had already sold the last 129 tonnes it kept in New York and bought replacement bars in Europe. Germany, which keeps 1,236 tonnes in New York, is being pressed by its own economists and politicians to bring it home. The New York vault held over 12,000 tonnes of other countries' gold in 1973 and 6,331 tonnes in 2024. The countries that kept their gold in Manhattan because they trusted the United States are, one by one, deciding they would rather have it somewhere else.Wall Street & Banking
- 2025 to 2026153 Million Driver's License Scans Leaked for Sale After Mandatory ID Checks at Retailers and WebsitesOn September 1, 2026 a service opened on a Russian criminal forum selling scans of more than 153 million American and Canadian driver's licenses, 10 million identification cards, 3 million passports and other travel documents, and 579,000 medical cards, each record with front and back photographs of the card and the date it was scanned. The data appears to come from IDScan.net, a New Orleans company that checks IDs for Hertz, Target, FedEx, and casinos, more than 21 million times a month at more than 20,000 locations. The sellers said they had been taking it for over a year. Every law that requires an ID to be shown to a company builds a database like this one. The laws now require it to buy a phone application, to open a website, to board a plane, and, on the Justice Department's own site, to read the Epstein files.Surveillance & Privacy
