Baldwin: I met with soldiers who were injured in that attack. What they told me confirmed what other soldiers have said publicly that most of these soldiers injured in the attack did not receive proper medical care in Kuwait, in Germany, or during their initial days back in the U.S. The U.S. Military has been fighting wars in the middle East for 25 years. Why was proper medical care not immediately available to these injured soldiers, and why were they not immediately screened for traumatic brain injuries?
OSSOFF: Three weeks later, you declared victory. That was now nearly four months ago. You said Iran's military had been rendered, “ combat ineffective for years to come.” Were those accurate statements?
HEGSETH: It certainly was a historic victory.
OSSOFF: Had Iran’s Military been rendered combat ineffective for years to come?
There was nothing “uncovered” by the Trump Admin this morning — the announcement presented no evidence for the claims MAGA misinformation accounts are attempting to spread
Auchincloss: The arrogance and incompetence of this administration—to start an illegal war of choice without consulting Congress or our allies, to fail in that war, and then to come to Congress to bail them out of the war—is just eye-watering.
Massie: Still, there’s a base—there’s Fox News that’s on TV every day trying to glorify this war. Eventually, I think people’s pocketbooks are going to impose reality on them, and they’re going to quit watching Fox and pay more attention to gas prices. We’re already seeing that with farmers, and that’s why you got this $12 billion bailout. This is essentially trying to buy the farmers off in time for the election, saying, “We’re sorry. We know we wrecked your farm with high fertilizer and high diesel prices, so please don’t punish us.”
This week on LP Pod: Senate candidate for IA @turek4iowa, and @MannyRutinel, currently gunning for CO-8, both join Rick to look ahead at Nov. 2 races, 2 very different maps, 1 shared question: can Dems stop talking past the people they need and start winning them back?

Garcia: Well, you know, it’s a real challenge because every day that goes by, they seem to try to hide things under the rug even more. Yesterday, The New York Times reported that now the FBI will not be investigating cases like this, which means, who will investigate? They’ve also, so far, not given us the name of the shooter. So it makes it difficult. We ask the Trump administration to act with accountability, act with some sense of heart, and act to bring justice for these families who are going through this very difficult time.
Extremist anti-voting candidates are running for the GOP nominations for governor, secretary of state, and attorney general, raising the danger that the 2028 elections could be run by officials eager to erect barriers to the polls and undermine a fair vote.https://t.co/zNRdCNAkrm
Sen. @Ossoff: You are requesting $68B for the department, correct?
Hegseth: $67 billion.
Ossoff: And yesterday, US forces struck Iran.
Hegseth: Yes.
Ossoff: Nearly 5 months ago, you said Iran's military was "destroyed" and "made combat ineffective." Was that accurate?
Garcia: Now there is currently a $14 million renovation underway that's been plagued by algae and a bottom that's chipping away and falling apart at the Reflecting Pool.
The pool has been drained twice in just three months for repairs. It was built so incompetently that they're trying to put an innocent man in jail to cover up their shoddy work, with contracts going to Donald Trump's friends and donors.
What a disgrace and completely shameful.
