In this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, the team breaks down Trump’s latest wave of corruption and chaos — from the shocking destruction of the entire East Wing of the White House and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s blatant lies to cover it up, to Trump’s new pay-to-pardon scandal involving a convicted Binance founder who funneled money into Trump’s own crypto company. The hosts also dig into the growing backlash from America’s cattle farmers after Trump’s reckless tariffs and his failed $40 billion bailout of Argentina sent their industry reeling. Plus, Speaker Mike Johnson continues to melt down under pressure as the government shutdown drags on, Michael Wolff sues Melania Trump over her attempts to silence his reporting on the Trumps and Epstein — and Ben, Brett, and Jordy expose the real-time unraveling of Trump’s illegitimate regime.

BELOW IS A LIST OF DONORS TO THE HIDEOUS TRUMP BALL ROOM...
This has been widely written about by DAN RATHER, ROBERT REICH & OTHERS.
Today in Politics, Bulletin 234. 10/23/25

Oct 23
excerpt:
… Trump has now demolished the entire East Wing of the WH. NYT: “The scope of the demolition, and Trump’s repeated promises that the WH itself would not be affected by the work, were in many ways symbolic of how he has conducted his presidency. On a variety of issues, Trump has blown past norms and traditions, often moving so quickly that it can be too late for courts, Congress or the public to catch up.”
… “The ballroom is only the latest renovation plan that Trump has undertaken since he took office for the second time. He is also leaving his mark on the Oval Office, which now features many gilded flourishes. He also paved over the Rose Garden; erected huge flag poles on the WH grounds; and is planning to build an arch in front of Arlington National Cemetery in the style of the Arc de Triomphe.”
… Trump: “After really a tremendous amount of study with some of the best architects in the world, we determined that really knocking it down, trying to use a little section. The East Wing was not much. There was not much left from the original.”
… Here is a list of the people and companies who are financing Trump’s destruction of the White House:

Tell Congress to use every available mechanism to keep SNAP funded in November, right as Thanksgiving approaches.

As a result of the shutdown, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, also called Food Stamps or EBT) is about to run out of money. This would be devastating for families and harm our economy. Fortunately, there is a temporary solution, and your voice is critical!
What’s Happening?
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has the authority to use contingency and carryover funds to keep SNAP running through November, but it has not yet taken action to do so. [1] Unless they act quickly, millions of hard-working families will go hungry in November– and face bare Thanksgiving tables.
→ Tell your Member of Congress that they MUST put pressure on the Trump Administration to act quickly to ensure families can put food on the table in November and enjoy a Thanksgiving meal.
This is a big deal: 1 out of every 8 people utilize SNAP benefits to take care of their families, contribute to their communities, and build good lives. These hardworking Americans are at risk of going hungry in November unless the Trump Administration’s Department of Agriculture releases the SNAP contingency funding immediately.
→ SNAP provides hard-working moms the tools they need to take care of their families and build good lives. Tell your Member of Congress to press the Trump Administration to release funds immediately to pay for SNAP benefits in November!
Let’s be clear: The USDA has the authority to use contingency and carryover funds to sustain SNAP in November. If they fail to use this authority, they will be choosing to leave families hungry amid soaring costs, just as Thanksgiving approaches. And Congress, which has the power to tax and spend, must press the USDA to use available funding to continue SNAP benefits.
Any delay in benefits — especially during this time of rising grocery prices — would harm the over 40 million people who participate in SNAP, including 16 million children, 8 million older adults, and 4 million people with disabilities. Ensuring continued SNAP funding in November would mean more ability to make ends meet and buy essential food items, which in turn lifts businesses and the economy. Each dollar in federally funded SNAP benefits generates between $1.50 and $1.80 in economic activity – boosting farmers, retailers, and the economy. The Trump Administration must do their part to keep our economy growing by funding SNAP in November— which is good for everyone.
→ That is why we are calling on YOU to remind your Members of Congress that feeding families is a federal obligation, and urge them to take action to ensure that SNAP benefits continue in November and beyond!
What we are asking is not out of the ordinary. Both Republican and Democratic administrations have previously used contingency funds, carryover appropriations, and short-term adjustments to keep SNAP funded during budget crises and shutdowns, including in 2013, 2018-2019, and the almost shutdown in 2023. [2]
Even during the current shutdown, the Trump Administration has already used its discretionary authority to transfer funds into WIC. [3] They must use the same discretionary authority to increase SNAP contingency funding, and come as close as possible to funding the full amount of November SNAP benefits. [4]
→ Don’t forget to tell your Member of Congress to press the Trump Administration to release the SNAP contingency funding immediately to ensure families can put food on the table in November!
The Trump Administration must use every available mechanism, including utilizing its contingency reserves, to prevent widespread hunger in November and beyond.
Together we are a powerful voice for children and families!
-Jessica, Donna and the whole MomsRising team
P.S. IMPORTANT UPDATE: If you currently receive SNAP benefits: October SNAP benefits have been fully funded and are already loaded to EBT cards. Please continue using SNAP benefits throughout October. If the Trump Administration does not fund SNAP in November, your benefits might be delayed but will be reimbursed when the shutdown ends. No one will permanently lose their benefits due to the shutdown. Please look for updates from your state SNAP agency or local organizations; they will share information as it becomes available. [5]

WATCH Tropical Storm Melissa that dumped 14 inches of rain on poor communities that lack resources to address the consequences.
The Trump administration approved a long-disputed plan to build a road through Alaska’s Izembek National Wildlife Refuge and reopened the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas drilling, according to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. The 11-mile road, long opposed by environmental groups, would cut through protected wilderness to connect the remote community of King Cove to a nearby airport for medical access. Critics argue the move threatens vital habitats for migratory birds and bears and reverses decades of conservation policy, while supporters say it fulfills a local safety need and promotes economic development.
The Trump White House has updated the historical timeline section on the White House website, in violation of the hatch act, attacking its political opponents including former President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
HOW INTERESTING IS THIS? DOG KILLER KRISTI NOEM was rumored to have a LONG TERM relationship with COREY LEWANDOWSKI and always denied it....the family values couple:
A new book by journalist Jonathan Karl reveals that Donald Trump appointed Kristi Noem as homeland security secretary as a personal favor to former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, despite concerns she was “obviously unqualified.” The book, Retribution: Donald Trump and the Campaign That Changed America, details internal disputes over Trump’s cabinet picks, including criticism from allies like Steve Bannon who warned the choice was “dangerous.”
