A new VA report has a shocking revelation: more than half of all VA medical centers are now reporting severe staffing shortages. 97% of facilities can't fully staff their doctors, and 58% can't hire enough psychologists. This didn't happen in a vacuum. The Trump administration has cut roughly 30,000 VA jobs. Now, Veterans are paying the price. @RepVindman

First it was a $2,000 tariff ā€œdividend.ā€ Then $500 Obamacare ā€œrefundā€ checks. Now it’s $100 Medicare checks, plus a promised $5,000 ā€œTrump Dividendā€ if Republicans win the midterms. The $2,000 checks never materialized, while the $5,000 promise would require Congress and cost roughly $1.2 trillion. At this point Trump’s economic policy is starting to look less like governing and more like Publishers Clearing House with a campaign logo.

Good piece from CNN colleagues about the proliferation of AI in 2026 campaign ads, including deepfakes of candidates. The vast majority is from the Republican side; about 96% of the spending on ads that disclosed AI use came from Republican campaigns or groups, a CNN analysis found: cnn.com/2026/10/02/politics/…

Among the misspending was nearly $3 million to erect tents at Guantanamo Bay that were never used, $20 million to maintain purchased warehouses that have never housed a single detainee, and excessive fees for a deficient and now-shuttered Florida lockup. apnews.com/article/ice-deten…

We agree. Now remember that yourself, Secretary Mullin, and apply that same standard to your fellow Christian nationalists who routinely invoke scripture to justify government policy.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin on James Talarico (D-TX): "When someone wants to start justifying their behavior based on scripture, that's dangerous."

An incredible irony to brag about mass visa revocations with a picture of a collapsing barn in an overgrown field, given how much immigrant labor is keeping the shrinking American agricultural industry alive.

The American Bar Association laid out the receipts. Major donors getting appointments. Companies donating millions, then seeing investigations disappear. Crypto interests pouring money into Trump-linked ventures, then getting pardons or regulatory relief. Foreign governments providing massive financial benefits, followed by favorable U.S. policy decisions. The article calls it an ā€œunprecedented pay-to-play culture.ā€ #PayToPlayPresident

They are pushing this BS for Trump. They are trying to claim that a deep state framed Nixon and removed him from office in a ā€œcoupā€ So that when Trump gets impeached for his crimes they can rile up conspiracy goons like on Jan 6th. Shut this shit down. Nixon was a crook.
.@RepRileyMoore (R-WV) on the Watergate scandal: "Richard Nixon was absolutely couped out of office and was framed. All of this was fake."

The same Brendan Carr who wanted to investigate NBC because Kamala was on SNL? The same Brendan Carr who wanted to dismantle independent fact checking and accused them of being a ā€œcensorship cartel?ā€ Periodic reminder that the corruption is a feature, not a bug.
FCC Chair Brendan Carr says that new pro-Trump TV ads paid for with government funds don’t ā€œmerit any sort of FCC review.ā€ nbcnews.com/politics/trump-a…
