Court strikes down North Carolina congressional map
thehill.com/October 28, 2019
"A state court on Monday threw out North Carolina's congressional map, arguing the state's 13 districts were an example of "extreme partisan gerrymandering" in a decision that could have major consequences in 2020."

Officials cringe as Trump spills sensitive details of al-Baghdadi raid

Trump Threatens To Drop ISIS Fighters At The UK’s Borders, An Act Of War

Police chief says Trump lied about mystery cop who can fix Chicago in ‘one day’: ‘That person doesn’t exist’

"Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson laughed off President Donald Trump’s claim that a single police officer could solve Chicago’s crime problem in one day.

While speaking at the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference on Monday, Trump attacked Johnson even though he was not in attendance. Trump argued that Chicago was more violent than Afghanistan."

"A House Democrat on Monday asked the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to investigate whether President Trump's reelection campaign is violating campaign finance rules by failing to report disputed reimbursements to local law enforcement for protection at campaign events.

The Trump campaign has declined to reimburse local officials who provide security assurance during Trump's campaign rallies across the country."

End harassment at VA hospitals
thehill.com/October 28, 2019
"When I ran the VA's Center for Women Veterans, one of my highest priorities was changing the culture throughout the organization to be more welcoming of women veterans, who make up a small but rapidly growing percentage of our nation's veterans. That work is deeply necessary: Alarming research by the department found that one in four women veterans using VA health care "reported inappropriate and/or unwanted comments or behavior by male veterans on VA grounds." Unsurprisingly, women who experienced that harassment were less likely to feel welcome, which could lead to them delaying or missing needed care. Just like in the military, younger women are at higher risk of experiencing that harassment."

The Democrats tried some meaningful VA reform under Obama.

You're right about most Republicans though, the exception being Active Duty military, who tends to vote R.

As the Right rolls out their "this guy is a Ukrainian double agent" schtick, it's a pretty good opportunity for the MSM to gently caress blast them with "Republicans blast Iraq War Veteran!" headlines.

Speaking of, I've seen the "Republicans for Justice" attack adds on TV, but I haven't heard anything from the DNC, shouldn't they be investing heavily in impeach Trump attack adds? Or am I I just too solidly encased in a Blue State, and only watch cable TV one day a month to notice?

This. I will say, it loving sucks when someone says that your service doesn't count because of your political views, and the way that the right-wing views the homeless/poorly cared vet situation is disgusting. Remember that the VA fell apart under Bush, and Obama's efforts to address it didn't go nearly far enough. Also, Trump putting business pals on their top seats because 'gently caress you'. But even think about spending a cent to help someone else and we're suddenly the MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER that you never actually help.
