Katy Tur Drops A Reality Check: America Doesn’t Need A Tape To Know Trump Is A Racist: If and when more tapes are released – particularly audio of Trump saying the N-word – it will only confirm what most of the country has known for years.

Another valuable resource for tracking the claims and lies of all political advertising has been created by Google:
Trump will undoubtedly face more criticism for the promises made and his later statements which ignore, abandon or oppose them.
The original article has hyperlinks to the other online platform's databases created by Facebook etc. for the same need of transparency.
From the link below:
Google has finally opened up about political ad-spending on its platforms and published a living archive of who’s paying what for your eyeballs while you’re just trying to consume some content. As we head into the heart of the midterm elections, Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign is outspending everyone.
Google’s advertising library is similar to archives that Facebook and Twitter launched in recent months as concerns about the sources and content of ads have been on the rise among lawmakers and voters. While Facebook has absorbed the bulk of the controversy around online political advertising, Google has had its own issues with the dreaded Russian election interference ad machine. And Google is projected to control almost twice as much digital ad revenue as its social media rival in 2018. Its new searchable database collects all of the political ads that it has run on its platforms since the end of May and will be continuously updated.
This will likely be an invaluable research tool as time goes on but what value it has for the average Joe at the moment is hard to say. It just launched on Wednesday afternoon and will send researchers down a rabbit hole of tea leaf reading and data analysis. But Google tried to isolate some of the big picture takeaways in an overview that accompanied the release.
The Trump Make America Great Again Committee—the president’s reelection campaign and all-around political instrument—took the top spot for political ad spending since May 31st. With $629,500 dedicated to Google platforms alone, it beat out second-place finisher One Nation’s spending by nearly $200,000. While both of those advertisers are right-wing organizations, the list of highest spenders covers a wide chunk of the political landscape. Beto O’Rourke is the Democratic challenger for Ted Cruz’s Senate seat and his campaign came in sixth place with a total of $266,000. The biggest spending based on keyword searches came from the ACLU dropping $37,500. In the land of big-time private Super Pacs, American for Prosperity, one of the Koch brothers numerous organizations paid out $149,700 to the search giant.
Right now, your main tools for searching the archive for big dollar amounts are by state and advertiser. The library offers a few more filters and will return copies of the individual ads that Google ran based on search terms. An API is also available for anyone who wants to dig deeper. “Researchers, political watchdog groups, and private citizens can use our data set to develop charts, graphs, tables or other visualizations of political advertising on Google Ads services,” the company wrote in a blog post. That’s where the true relevance of this project will come in as relevant events occur in the election cycle and researchers can parse information with the benefit of hindsight.
This kind of initiative also gives us a better chance to keep Google honest when it says it’s being transparent. ProPublica is currently running a project in which it asks users to install a plug-in that collects every ad they see on Facebook. Over time, the outlet will be able to compare its database with Facebook’s public page and make relevant determinations about how Facebook is deciding what counts as a “political” ad.

Trump's administration makes bold claims to be helping Veterans, but this too is a lie.
From the article below:
... the Trump administration has handed its veterans’ health-care agenda over to three dues-paying members of the president’s Florida golf resort. As ProPublica revealed last week, the chairman of Marvel Entertainment Isaac Perlmutter, his personal doctor Bruce Moskowitz, and Moskowitz’s squash partner Marc Sherman have been informally advising Trump on Veterans Administration policy (while paying monthly fees to Mar-a-Lago). This “troika” played a leading role in ousting David Shulkin from the VA, and orchestrating the administration’s push for privatizing veterans’ health care.
...
In sum: The Trump administration believes that kneeling during the national anthem is a grievous insult to the men and women who risked their lives fighting for America, but using political power to help payday lenders bury service members beneath unpayable debts — while allowing one’s billionaire friends to override veterans’ preferences for health-care policy — is not.
This fall, Democratic ad makers should ask voters whether they agree.

"The Earth's building blocks seem to be built from 'pretty normal' ingredients, according to researchers working with the world's most powerful telescopes. Scientists have measured the compositions of 18 different planetary systems from up to 456 light years away and compared them to ours, and found that many elements are present in similar proportions to those found on Earth.
This is amongst the largest examinations to measure the general composition of materials in other planetary systems, and begins to allow scientists to draw more general conclusions on how they are forged, and what this might mean for finding Earth-like bodies elsewhere.
"Most of the building blocks we have looked at in other planetary systems have a composition broadly similar to that of the Earth", said researcher Dr. Siyi Xu of the Gemini Observatory in Hawaii, who was presenting the work at the Goldschmidt conference in Boston."
