California Governor called out President Donald Trump for promoting misinformation online after Trump shared a fake AI-generated Fox News report claiming he'd be creating "MedBed hospitals" that magically cure people of illnesses.

Trump shared a fake video that looked like a clip from his daughter-in-law Lara Trump’s Fox News show. In the doctored split-screen, Lara appears to announce a “historic new healthcare system,” touting “America’s first MedBed hospitals” and a “national MedBed card for every citizen.”


The video then cuts to Trump himself, falsely shown saying that “every American will soon receive their own MedBed card,” as futuristic hospital footage—with podlike beds and sleek technology—flashes on screen. Trump is shown calling these facilities "safe" and pledging "the beginning of a new era in American healthcare.”

If that sounds insane to you, you'd be correct.

You can see the "news report" below.

Newsom has been trolling the Trump administration for weeks and swiftly criticized Trump for "posting AI-generated slop" online as his administration continues to stonewall Democrats over their healthcare demands as the government braces for a government shutdown that would cut vital services unless a funding deadline is reached.

Newsom said:

“Trump is about to shut down the government and rip health care from 20 million Americans. What’s he doing? Posting AI-generated slop about ‘miracle hospital beds’ that cure all illness.”
“DONALD TRUMP HAS LOST IT."

You can see his post below.

The misinformation Trump is promoting is so blatant that people joined Newsom in pushing back against it aggressively.

CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale—who has fact-checked Trump live on the air more than once—said the "MedBed" conspiracy theory is designed to sow disorder among the lower class, misleading them to believe “that society’s elite/the deep state already has secret access to medbeds, or that famously dead people like JFK are actually alive on medbeds.”

Meanwhile, Democrats say they will not support the Republicans’ proposed continuing resolution to keep the government open unless it includes an extension of the premium tax credit that helps subsidize health insurance for people earning between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level.

Democrats have stressed that without that extension, millions could lose their coverage, and premiums across the Affordable Care Act marketplace would rise sharply.

Trump earlier declined to meet with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to negotiate as the funding deadline looms, saying he predicts a “long and brutal slog” ahead unless Democrats drop their demands.

TikToker Speaks Out About Just How Difficult It Is To Get A Divorce In Mississippi—And Wow

While we're well into the 21st century, it's becoming increasingly difficult in the United States for women to execute what should be basic social rights, like getting a divorce. But states like Mississippi and most of the "Bible Belt" are making it practically impossible for people like Nurse Hadley Vlahos to fully separate from a former partner.

Though Vlahos is known on TikTok and YouTube for being a hospice nurse and wrote about end-of-life care in her New York Times bestselling book, The In-Between with How to Let Go to follow, she's now dedicating much more of her platform to documenting her three-year process of just filing for divorce, not including all that happened in the years before and in the year and a half since.

Trump's Bonkers Quip About What He'd Do If He Coached In The WNBA Just Resurfaced—And It's A Doozy

President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows again after a resurfaced clip showed him trying to bring NBA star LeBron James into the debate around transgender athletes while mocking the WNBA.

The WNBA has been at the center of controversy after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham said she wants "to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” She called her beliefs "common sense," stressing that "it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category."
