CNN aired footage of top Republican senators criticizing President Donald Trump’s taxpayer-funded television ads, showing members of his own party questioning the use of public money to promote the president ahead of the midterm elections. The president’s administration began airing the spots last week. One touts accomplishments including “reigniting American manufacturing” and the “largest tax cuts in history,” while another features footage and rhetoric nearly identical to a 2024 Trump campaign ad, including his pledge to “demolish the deep state” and “drive out the globalists.” Both end with disclosures that they were paid for by the U.S. government. The White House has defended them as “public service announcements,” while The Associated Press reported that at least $443,000 of taxpayer funds have been spent on the campaign so far. The CNN compilation ran on Monday’s edition of OutFront, with host Erin Burnett first playing an audio recording of Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD). “I like the message, but it shouldn’t be paid for with taxpayer dollars,” he said. Next was a clip from Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA), who told CBS News, “I don’t think any public official, including President Trump, or [former Homeland Security Secretary] Kristi Noem, or John Kennedy, should spend public money on private ads for themselves.” Then came audio from Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who was asked by a reporter if he thought the ads were “appropriate.” “No,” he responded decidedly. “It’s not even a close question.” Lastly, while not criticism from a senator, Burnett also mentioned a social media post from Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) that read, “Don’t worry, using taxpayer dollars to run ominous campaign ads of the President has been done before and is completely legal… in banana republics.” And while it wasn’t included in the compilation, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) told NBC News of the ads, “I hate it. I tell you, it feels like [former Hungarian Prime Minister] Viktor Orbán talking to the Hungarian people. There’s no place for that sort of thing.” Furthermore, as CNN reported, Trump himself has taken a hands-on role in producing the spots, even weighing in on which images and footage appear in them.

Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), a fellow Southerner whom he implored to “shut up.” Carville appeared on Monday’s episode of The Beat on MS NOW, where host Ari Melber played a pair of clips from last week in which Tuberville alleged that a not insubstantial contingent of airline pilots belong to a furry “club,” members of which anthropomorphize animal characters and sometimes dress up as animals. “Many airline pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are part of the furry community. Lord, help us,” Tuberville said on the floor of the United States Senate. “When you walk onto a commercial flight. It’s possible that the pilot flying your plane could have a deranged fetish of dressing up like an animal.” When a reporter later asked Tuberville what he was talking about, the senator replied, “All you gotta do is look at their convention. They had a pilots section at their convention this past week at Minnesota.” The clip ended and Melber asked, “James, what’s going on here? Is this campaign distraction, desperation?” Carville responded by unloading a series of insults on Tuberville, a former college football coach with multiple Southeastern Conference teams: So, Senator Turberville, is he dumber than concrete? Or is he dumber than a box of rocks? I would take his name to equate his IQ. I think a t-u-b-e-r is a potato. That’s an apt name for him. Potato. He’s that dumb. I mean, I gotta tell you, as a Southerner and as a football fan, as a SEC fan, as a proud guy, very time I see that guy, I just wanna crawl under the table. Man, shut up. You’re embarrassing the whole region of the country. Not just good people of Alabama. Anybody that has anything to do with it. Talking about pilots and furries? I have no idea. Somebody, maybe he’s got a wife, or maybe he’s got kids [who] can kind of pull this guy aside and help him out a little bit. But he that boy ain’t right at all. Not at all. “Well, I guess they think this is like some of the attacks they did in ’24 trying to turn it to culture,” Melber replied. “He didn’t talk a lot about Democrats in that clip, but it’s designed to sort of foment the idea of, if you change teams, you change the government,… [TheTopNews] Read More.9 hours ago
- Trump Aims to Open Nearly All National Forest Trails to Dirt Bikes and ATVs
This story, originally published by Grist in collaboration with Montana Free Press/Mountain Journal as part of the Report for America Local News Initiative, is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. There are many ways to enjoy the outdoors, but thrill-seekers visiting the nation’s national forests often turn to motorized recreation. They might ride ATVs along dirt trails, snowmobile down winding tracks, or go off-roading in 4x4s. The United States Forest Service’s approach to all such forms of recreation on trails can be summed up in four words: closed unless designated open. Unless a trail is explicitly designated as open to off-highway vehicles, such as side-by-sides and dirt bikes, it can only be used for nonmotorized recreation. Most national forests have travel management plans that outline when a trail is open for nonmotorized use like mountain biking, horseback riding, or hiking, and when it’s open to off-highway vehicles. These plans tend to be exhaustive and list which types of motorized or nonmotorized access are allowed on every trail, two-track, and road. The strict guidelines are a result of a Forest Service policy called the travel management rule. But the Trump administration wants to turn the current rule on its head. In late August, the Forest Service announced its plan to revise the rule so that trails are open unless designated closed. It would mean forest managers would be expected to prioritize motorized access on service roads, trails, and even backcountry airfields. The US Department of Agriculture, of which the Forest Service is a part, has said that the move will increase recreation access and “simplify regulatory requirements.” The change is being opposed by sportsmen, backcountry horsemen, conservation organizations, and nonmotorized recreation groups. They say opening up all Forest Service trails to motorized access could have devastating consequences for the ecosystems and wildlife that rely on these lands. Healthy, intact forest ecosystems are also critical for sequestering carbon in a warming world. “I’m totally OK with appropriate machine use in the forest. But there are just places where the ecosystem is too sensitive.” Hillary Eisen, the federal policy director for Wild Montana, a public lands advocacy organization, said everyone who uses forest lands, from recreationists and ranchers with grazing leases to those in the timber industry, relies on the clarity provided by travel management plans. The Forest Service’s formal announcement to revise the rule is “vague,” “somewhat poorly written,” and “difficult to follow,” Eisen said.… [TheTopNews] Read More.9 hours ago - AARP Wisconsin: From retirement to caregiving, key issues voters should track th...
With election season underway, AARP Wisconsin State director Raj Shukla stopped in the WIZM studio for The Rick Solem Show to break down some key issues impacting local families this fall. Shukla walked through the everyday challenges voters should research before heading to the polls — from helping small-business workers without access to a 401(k) to supporting family caregivers. Listen live weekdays at 5:05 p.m. Find the pod on Spotify, Apple Podcast or here. Tune in on the WIZM app or on air at 92.3 FM / 1410 AM / 106.7 FM (north of Onalaska) The conversation covers retirement, Social Security, and healthcare from multiple angles and shows how voters can dig into where candidates stand. As Shukla pointed out, these are far from being just “senior issues” — these policy debates directly affect family budgets and daily life for Wisconsinites of all ages. AARP is also hosting a Fraud Watch Trivia Night at the Pump House Regional Arts Center downtown from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Oct. 13. Conversation Highlights: Workplace Retirement Access: Shukla details why one-third of Wisconsin workers lack access to 401(k)s and how a proposed “Work and Save” option could give small-business employees a simple, portable payroll-deduction savings account—clarifying it is a personal savings tool, not a state pension. Family Caregiving Challenges: Shukla and Solom discuss the policy changes and direct support needed for adult children helping aging parents navigate healthcare and daily life. Voter Candidate Resources: Where Wisconsinites can review candidate positions and election information through the AARP Voter Resource Center.
