Last year, Trump and 98% of elected GOP enacted the biggest Medicaid cuts in history, bigger even than Reagan's Medicaid cuts. By 2034, 7.5 million people will lose their Medicaid because of the cuts. Clinics are already closing and hospitals are already cutting services, citing OBBBA as a reason.
medicaid cuts from obbba grow to 16% by 2034

Trump called Democrats "communists" during the GOP's midterm convention last month. But backstage, GOP leaders feted an actual ex-communist -who was until recently barred from entering the US due to alleged corruption. What was he doing there? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The State Department called him "corrupt." Trump officials feted him in Dallas.
Albania's opposition leader, recently barred from the US, made it to the GOP's "midterm convention."

Today I learned that Sam Alito, a sitting Supreme Court justice, has gotten personally involved in the fight to save a Christopher Columbus statue in his hometown, providing a statement to the city council about the "insult to the Italian American community" www.nytimes.com/2026/10/11/o...
Gilda Rorro, a longtime leader in the New Jersey Italian community, began lobbying to reinstate the statue in Chambersburg after discussing the matter with an upset Justice Alito in 2020. She said she read aloud a statement written by the justice to the Trenton City Council arguing that the statue does not symbolize Columbus's deeds but rather the immigrants themselves.
"Poor Italian peasants made a long and difficult journey leaving everything they knew behind. And while many people in this country did not accept them, they wanted to claim that they had a rightful place here," Dr. Rorro said, quoting Justice Alito's message to the City Council in 2020. "That is what the statue symbolizes, and removing it is an insult to the Italian American community, tantamount to saying that their experience, all that they endured and contributed, accounts for nothing."
