President Donald Trump's coalition is falling apart in earnest as more and more of his voters start to break away, MS NOW's Jen Psaki said on Thursday evening."You know that feeling ... when you buy a cute pair of shoes or something like that you saw on Instagram, and then they show up and you wear them for a day or two, and they're just not what you hoped they'd be?" Psaki said. "Or when you buy a movie ticket and halfway through the show, you think to yourself, 'Oh, I should have stayed home or maybe gone to see a different movie?'"This is exactly the sort of thing many Trump supporters are feeling, Psaki said, as they are "entering their very own buyer's remorse era."The polls tell a clear story, said Psaki. In 2024, "Trump won the support of 81 percent of voters who ranked the economy as their number one issue ... that was their big issue." Now, however, "a new poll out just this week found that a record 63 percent of Americans disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy ... it's basically plummeting off of a cliff."The economy isn't the only issue, though, Psaki said. The war in Iran is also part of the problem."Clearly now, tonight, he's claiming that Iran is ready to sign a deal ... while Iranian officials are publicly denying any such thing," said Psaki. "The man is basically stuck and in way over his head. That is very clear, more than 100 days into this war." And the new poll she mentioned earlier also indicates that "a full 92 percent of voters say they think the war will last another month or longer ... and two-thirds of Americans, 67 percent, think Trump has been ineffective in negotiating with Iran."The buyer's remorse extends right down to the public spectacles Trump has arranged to celebrate himself.For instance, she said, "the big UFC fight he's planning to host on the South Lawn of the White House for his 80th birthday on Sunday, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll found that only 16% percent of Americans think it's appropriate for Trump to hold that event, which means that most of the people who voted for him are not on board with his big birthday party." - YouTube youtu.be
After losing county funding, Los Angeles’ primary homeless services agency has lost federal funding due to its failure to address potential fraud.The Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, alongside the Department of Housing and Urban Development, sent a letter on Thursday to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority to inform the agency that it was immediately suspending funding amid an ongoing probe by HUD’s inspector general. The IG’s office is investigating any potential offenses by the LAHSA and its leadership, according to Fox News Digital, which obtained a copy of the letter.'Taxpayers will not bankroll LA’s fraud-filled homelessness industrial complex.'The department reportedly outlined in its letter conflicts of interest, financial mismanagement, fraud, and oversight failures.HUD has given the Los Angeles Continuum of Care, which is led by the LAHSA, nearly $1 billion over the last five years.“Suspending LAHSA’s participation in federal government programs is a necessary step in accomplishing that critical mission in Los Angeles,” the letter read, according to Fox News Digital. “LAHSA’s failures have been so severe and pervasive that Los Angeles County has withdrawn its funding for the agency, and the City of Los Angeles is considering doing so as well.”“HUD cannot ignore LAHSA’s wanton mismanagement of public funds. HUD’s mission is to reduce the plague of homelessness in America,” the agency’s letter continued. “Turning over billions of dollars from American taxpayers to an organization under investigation and suspected of gross misuse of federal funding and ‘obvious fraud’ does nothing to reduce homelessness. Indeed, diverting dollars from worthy programs to LAHSA merely makes the homeless crisis worse.”RELATED: Socialist mayoral candidate is outraged at encampment outside her LA home — but it's not what it seems Allen J. Schaben/Los Angeles Times/Getty ImagesHUD’s letter quoted a federal judge who stated last year that the LAHSA had committed “obvious fraud” after it allegedly sought full funding for an 88-bed shelter despite maintaining only roughly half occupancy.HUD also noted that a former top LAHSA official, Va Lecia Adams Kellum, was caught up in a conflict-of-interest scandal. The LAist reported in Feb. 2025 that the executive signed contracts that funneled $2.1 million to a nonprofit where her husband held a senior leadership position. The LAHSA told the outlet that Adams Kellum was “completely recused” from any business related to the nonprofit, and the contracts were inadvertently given to her for signature.The LAist reported that the LAHSA has an $828 million budget this fiscal year, 46% of which comes from Los Angeles County, 35% from the city of Los Angeles, 11% from the federal government, over 8% from California, and a smaller amount from private philanthropy.RELATED: Homeless people on Skid Row claim they were PAID TO VOTE — and not for Spencer Pratt Scott Turner. SAUL LOEB/AFP/Getty Images.L.A. County voted last year to cut $300 million in funding from the LAHSA, beginning in July. The county has formed a new department to address homelessness, which it believes will increase accountability by “streamlining bureaucracy to stretch our dollars further, and improving care for people experiencing homelessness.”HUD Secretary Scott Turner stated that the agency “will fund results, not corrupt failure.”“While hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars were funneled to LAHSA with little accountability, homelessness skyrocketed,” Turner wrote. “Taxpayers will not bankroll L.A.’s fraud-filled homelessness industrial complex.”“For years, American taxpayers have been sending billions of dollars to Los Angeles to house the homeless and other vulnerable Americans. The result? Fraud and corruption. That ends today,” White House Task Force Executive Director Scott Brady stated, according to a HUD press release.The LAHSA confirmed receipt of HUD’s letter and warned that the department’s actions “could put thousands of formerly homeless people back on the street,” the agency said in a statement provided to Blaze News.“After initial review, this appears to be a blatant attempt to pull yet more resources from Los Angeles, a city they have targeted time and again, when it is clear that LAHSA has either corrected or is in the process of correcting nearly all of the issues raised,” the agency said. “Local oversight actions have already resulted in strong repairs and reforms to LAHSA’s internal controls, which are accountable and viewable to the public.”The LAHSA noted that it is also modernizing its financial systems.“If HUD’s inspector general actually conducts a fair review of LAHSA’s current and future practices, they will clearly see how our systems now allow us to clearly track the work and investments that have resulted in L.A. outperforming the nation by reducing homelessness over the last two years,” the statement continued.
A Department of Justice division claimed it had no records related to President Donald Trump's IRS settlement, a watchdog reported.According to Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), the DOJ's Civil Division came up empty-handed when responding to a request for records related to the settlement that led to Trump's $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund. The $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund came out of a settlement in the case Trump v. IRS, a $10 billion lawsuit over the leaking of the Trump family and organization's tax returns. CREW filed the request to see DOJ documents related to the settlement that created the fund, but "DOJ's Civil Division claims to have no record of so much as being notified about Trump's case," the watchdog reported.CREW was expecting some paper trail, given the amount of money involved and the fact that it was the first time a sitting president had sued and settled a case with their own administration."Given the extraordinary way this case unfolded, a settlement of this magnitude leaving no trace in the files of the divisions typically responsible for it is yet another striking confirmation of the irregular, collusive process that produced an enormously corrupt result," CREW wrote.CREW is challenging the lawsuit in court, it noted.
