  • Why the Trump/Musk partnership is taking off

    Alex Berenson - Feb 13th 2025 12:05pm EST

    Fair to say no one expected this. In July, when Elon Musk endorsed Donald Trump for president, almost everyone assumed his support would be mostly financial, maybe a couple of hundred million dollars – a rounding error for Musk. In November, when Trump announced Musk would run a new “Department of Government Efficiency” after winning, […]

  • URGENT: Cancer deaths rose in Japan in 2022 and 2023, post-mRNA Covid shots

    Alex Berenson - Feb 11th 2025 12:28pm EST

    Japan had about 12,000 more cancer deaths than expected in 2022 and 2023, Japanese researchers reported in a preprint today. The increase was small in relative terms, about 2 percent more deaths than expected. But it reached statistical significance, meaning it is probably not a chance finding. It offers the strongest evidence yet that mRNA […]

  • The best reason to hate international aid

    Alex Berenson - Feb 10th 2025 2:06pm EST

    You may have heard of what economists call the “resource curse.” If you haven’t: the resource curse is a paradoxical problem for poor countries that are rich in minerals or oil. Despite their seeming bounty, those countries often wind up behind their neighbors and beset with political strife. Why? The quickest way for smart or […]

  • A veteran (and new federal employee) offers her view on the chaos the sudden government downsizing has unleashed

    Alex Berenson - Feb 6th 2025 9:59am EST

    Everyone agrees: the federal government is an inefficient beast that needs shrinking — and that process may be painful to employees who have taken advantage of “work” from home rules for years. That said, the current slash-and-burn chaos is not without innocent victims, particularly those hired with the explicit promise they could work remotely. One, […]

  • The Presidency is not performance art

    Alex Berenson - Feb 5th 2025 10:06am EST

    This isn’t why I voted for him. And if you are being honest with yourself, it’s not why you voted for him either.1 Last night, President Donald Trump said the United States should take over the Gaza Strip and force out the two million Palestinians who live there. With its Mediterranean beachfront, Gaza could become […]

  • A military and civilian aviation veteran explains Wednesday night’s crash

    Alex Berenson - Jan 31st 2025 7:45pm EST

    The author’s name is J.R. Rudy. He raises several issues I haven’t heard before, including the crosswinds that were swirling Wednesday night and the lack of a safety observer on the Black Hawk’s training mission. Beyond that – I’d rather let him speak for himself, unedited. I am responding to your recent note about input […]

  • An unforced error for Donald Trump

    Alex Berenson - Jan 31st 2025 9:56am EST

    Donald Trump had a strong first week. Yesterday, however, was not a good day. We do not know what caused an Army Black Hawk helicopter to crash into a American Airlines regional jet landing at Reagan National Airport, killing 67 people Wednesday night. As anyone who’s ever flown into Reagan knows, the airspace is heavy […]

  • Vox populi, vox dei (as Elon likes to say)

    Alex Berenson - Jan 29th 2025 11:41am EST

    Seems you want me asking questions of the White House. Almost 7,000 Unreported Truths readers have already voted in yesterday’s poll asking whether I should apply for one of the “new media” White House press passes the Trump Administration is making available – and by a 5-1 margin you want me in. As you wish. […]

  • Should I apply for a White House press pass?

    Alex Berenson - Jan 28th 2025 4:46pm EST

    This afternoon, Trump Administration press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the White House plans to make press credentials available to independent reporters. A couple of you have already suggested I go for it. — (Apply to be an Unreported Truths subscriber! All applications granted.) Subscribe now — On the one hand, I love the idea of […]

  • Of course Donald Trump can (and should!) fire the federal prosecutors WHO TRIED TO SEND HIM TO PRISON

    Alex Berenson - Jan 28th 2025 12:05pm EST

    Last night, the New York Times offered its readers more incoherent shrieking about Donald Trump. (Shocker, I know.) Trump’s offense this time? Firing the federal prosecutors who worked for Jack Smith, the special counsel who spent years desperately trying to imprison Trump. The Times called the firings an “egregious violation of well-established laws.” To be […]

  • URGENT: Donald Trump is reinstating thousands of members of the military who were discharged for refusing Covid jabs

    Alex Berenson - Jan 27th 2025 12:26pm EST

    I will never forget the emails from service members and their families. They started in summer 2021 and didn’t stop for a year. I’m in the Air Force. There are many many people refusing the vaccines, and the Reserves held a town hall recently to try to persuade us. It was a disaster… There are […]

    Alex Berenson - Jan 26th 2025 2:10pm EST

    Because, in a truly unforced error, I – for the first time ever – did not enable comments on a post. EVEN THOUGH I SPECIFICALLY ASKED YOU TO COMMENT. My apologies. Please forgive – and comment below. (Note that to read the earlier post in full for the next 72 hours OR comment below, you […]

  • Five things I liked from Donald Trump’s first week as President

    Alex Berenson - Jan 26th 2025 11:57am EST

    I’m not promising a roundup every week, but this week earned one. So much has happened since Donald John Trump took his oath of office last Monday that I’d break my fingers jamming out full stories about it all. But I don’t want to let it wash away, either. So without further ado, here are […]

  • The left’s open borders insanity, caught in a single email

    Alex Berenson - Jan 23rd 2025 12:09pm EST

    Based on your emails to me and comments on the Stack, many of you think the “no person is illegal” crowd has a grand plan to overrun the United States with migrants who will forever live on welfare and vote for the Democrats who let them in. I don’t. First off, I don’t generally believe […]

  • Why can’t the left understand restrictions on immigration?

    Alex Berenson - Jan 22nd 2025 5:31pm EST

    Donald J. Trump is keeping his word on immigration. And Democrats, the media, and the woke left (yes, I repeat myself) are losing their collective minds. On Monday, as one of several moves to restore order to America’s southern, northern, eastern, and western borders, Trump canceled a Biden Administration program that had allowed over 500,000 […]

  • A new era dawns

    Alex Berenson - Jan 21st 2025 12:36pm EST

    Quick confession: I’m normally a decisive writer. But last week, as I tried to write a fitting eulogy for Joe Biden’s dead presidency, my fingers failed me. What can I tell you that you don’t already know? That he was a hypocrite and a liar; that he and his minions disregarded the Constitution when it […]

  • URGENT: Biden pardons Fauci

    Alex Berenson - Jan 20th 2025 9:18am EST

    Turns out the Covid vaccines provide immunity after all. This morning, in the final benighted act of his zombie administration, President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. pardoned Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, supposedly to protect him from “unjustified and criminally motivated prosecutions.” Biden also pardoned retired Gen. Mark Milley, Representative Liz Cheney, and other members of the […]

  • Berenson v Biden gets stronger

    Alex Berenson - Jan 18th 2025 8:27am EST

    On Monday, Joe Biden’s zombie presidency will officially be over1. Berenson v Biden, my lawsuit over the effort by White House and Pfizer officials to make Twitter ban me in 2021, will go on. And the admission from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg last week of the immense pressure his company faced that year from White […]

  • How Moderna hid the death of a child in a Covid vaccine clinical trial – even as it seemed to disclose the trial’s results

    Alex Berenson - Jan 9th 2025 3:17pm EST

    (SECOND OF TWO PARTS) Last week, I disclosed that a pre-school aged child had died of “cardio-respiratory arrest” in Moderna’s pivotal KidCOVE clinical trial for its mRNA Covid vaccine. Given the controversy over mRNA jabs for children, the death would likely have been big news – if Moderna and the supposedly independent physicians involved with […]

  • URGENT: Free speech wins at Meta

    Alex Berenson - Jan 8th 2025 11:06am EST

    Free speech is on the march. And Elon Musk deserves much of the credit. On Tuesday, Mark Zuckerberg, chief executive of Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, announced his platforms would stop restricting posts about immigration and gender – and stop using (usually liberal) third-party “fact checkers” as a way to censor (usually conservative) accounts.
