The leader of the Republican Party is stealing money paid by American taxpayers to buy campaign ads for Republicans in the midterms. You can’t vote him out in 5 weeks, but you can vote out the people he’s trying to help with your money he’s thieving while they remain silent.

Trump had $400 million in his PAC and he STILL decided that he needed to steal taxpayer money to pay for campaign ads for the midterms.

I need people to remember that Greg Abbott has the sole power to call legislative special sessions. He called FOUR in 2023 to try to ram through unpopular school vouchers. He called TWO in 2025 to force redistricting at Trump’s request. He has called ZERO to address rapid and unregulated data center growth or property tax relief. Vote wisely.
James Talarico to Fox News on redistricting: “If Republican policies are so popular, why do they need to redraw these maps; why not run on their policies?” WATCH

Legal or not, imagine the meeting where Trump said "I want my brand improved in commercials" and people said "masterful idea, sir" and then did this
I don’t know how this is legal.

Trump is spending money we pay to the government in taxes to promote himself, while many are unable to afford medical care, gas, and even food.
New: The Trump administration has spent more than $1M in public funds so far to boost the president on the airwaves. Experts including a Bush WH ethics lawyer said it likely violates federal laws against propaganda & political activity by gov’t staff. nytimes.com/2026/09/27/us/po…

NEW: Washington’s Cardinal McElroy told Catholics on Sunday to “fight every dimension” of the Trump administration’s war on immigrants and to replace politicians who tolerate it. “We must recognize that in abandoning the words of Deuteronomy and the Statue of Liberty, we are losing our soul as a nation,” he said. His homily came on the World Day of Migrants and Refugees, which Pope Leo XIV dedicated this year to migrant children. thelettersfromleo.com/p/on-p…

Once again, on a Sunday, Donald Trump has announced new negotiations with Iran that "will end the war soon". He's done this every Sunday for the last 212 days, and he does it to manipulate the stock market and enrich himself. His voters are too stupid to see it.

What’s crazy is it’s not that hard to for a White House to steer donors to an outside group who can run fluffer ads like this. But no, Trump and this administration wants to take the maximally corrupt route just to show you they can get away with it.
The U.S. Government is up on TV with this spot -- It aired nationally on FOX yesterday during Illinois at #7 Ohio State and also during Fox News Sunday this morning

Rejecting the ads for Musk’s documentary is bringing more attention to it than if they just let the ads run. Hilarious.

This is 100% real. Right after Trump says he got a "great reception" at the Presidents Cup in Chicago, a fan literally yells: "F--king P-dophile!" This is not edited. This is exactly how it aired on @fox32news.
