That $366 million Elon is spending to try and convince voters that Congress should stay Republican? It's more money than McCain's 2008 campaign spent. But it's also, relative to Musk's net worth, the same as a household at the median income spending $32.

President Trump announced the “largest steel plant in American history” would be built in Iowa, where Republicans are facing several competitive races. “This deal is done,” Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said alongside the president in the Oval Office. The deal is far from done.

As a result, the magistrate judge issues an order adjudging Ms. Coman's name CLEARED of the outrageous accusations made against her by DHS officials and Elon Musk. This is a very unusual circumstance, as such hearings are not common at all. But it seems very necessary here. The facts are out now.
Conclusion Armed only with false statements, high-ranking government officials undertook a premeditated campaign to impugn the personal and professional integrity of Ms. Comans, a nonpartisan, career public servant. Their intent was to disseminate false and derogatory information about Ms. Comans as widely as possible. To be clear, it was the stated position of the United States Government that Ms. Comans acted in a criminal manner with a criminal intent. That is untrue. Ms. Comans was publicly accused of knowingly and “egregiously” misspending federal funds. That is untrue. She was accused of laundering “forbidden funding.” That is untrue. She was accused of willfully violating a Presidential Executive Order, the orders of the DHS Secretary, circumventing leadership, and frustrating the will of the American people. That is untrue. She was accused of undermining public safety. That is untrue. Accordingly, for the reasons set forth herein the Court finds that the derogatory statements about Ms. Comans were objectively and demonstrably false, that many high-ranking government officials made these statements knowing they were false, and as to her conduct as the Chief Financial Officer of FEMA, Ms. Comans’ name is ADJUDGED CLEARED.

DHS made multiple false statements to the press. To Fox News, DHS lied and claimed Ms. Comans had "circumvent[ed] leadership and unilaterally" reimbursed local governments for shelters for migrants. DHS now admits in court it "knew the statement was false at the time it was made."
iii. February 11, 2025, Statement by DHS Spokesperson to Fox News On or about February 11, 2025, a DHS spokesperson provided an on-the-record statement to Fox News that “four employees are being fired today for circumventing leadership and unilaterally making the egregious payment for hotels for migrants in New York City” and that the “[f]irings include FEMA’s Chief Financial Officer, two program analysts and a grant specialist.” The statement was published by Fox News. The Government concedes and the Court finds that other than the fact that Ms. Comans had been fired, the statement to Fox News was entirely false. The Government further concedes and the Court further finds that officials at FEMA and DHS knew the statement was false at the time it was made

After firing her for following the direct orders of DOGE staffers in interpreting an EO, the Trump admin began a smear campaign against Ms. Comans. DHS called her "deep state activist," and Tricia McLaughlin claimed she was "circumventing leadership," which DHS admits now was "entirely false."
i. February 11, 2025, DHS Press Release The first public attack on Ms. Comans came on February 11, 2025, when DHS issued a press release stating that FEMA’s Chief Financial Officer had been fired “for circumventing leadership to unilaterally make egregious payments for luxury NYC hotels for migrants.” It was a matter of public record at the time, including on the FEMA website, that the Chief Financial Officer was Ms. Comans. The press release implied Ms. Comans was a “deep state activist” who had “undermine[d] the will and safety of the American people.” The Government concedes and the Court finds that other than the fact that Ms. Comans had been fired, this statement was entirely false. The Government further concedes and the Court further finds that officials at FEMA and DHS knew this statement was false at the time it was made.ii.

WOW. Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, among others, "chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an impeccable record of public service. ... The attacks against Ms. Comans were based entirely on false information" and many officials "knew [they] were untrue."
In conducting this hearing, the Court is not called upon to resolve factual disputes between
the parties. The facts set forth in this Memorandum Opinion and Order were proposed by the
Plaintiff, unobjected to by the Government, and then deemed admitted by the Court. Dkts. 74, 75,
77.2 These facts establish that high-ranking government officials, including then Secretary of DHS
Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, engaged in a coordinated public relations campaign to impugn the
personal and professional integrity of Ms. Comans. For reasons unfathomable to this Court,
officials chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an
impeccable record of public service. In short, Ms. Comans was professionally targeted and
personally attacked by government officials for no legitimate reason. The attacks against Ms.
Comans were based entirely on false information, and many government officials knew the
accusations were untrue at the time they were made. With no regard for the truth and with no
consideration for the personal and professional effect on Ms. Comans, government officials
exploited their access to mass media outlets to broadcast false information. These false
statements reached hundreds of millions of people. The purpose of this Order is, to the best of
this Court’s ability, to correct the public record and establish as a matter of law that the
statements made by these officials about Ms. Comans were objectively and demonstrably false.
