The ad is plainly illegal. Nakedly partisan, yet paid for by tax dollars in the name of a "public service announcement. But unsurprising. Trump no longer feels constrained by any law. He's defying judges, aided and abetted by a compromised SCOTUS and a neutered Congress. youtu.be/Yo4NUMQIJS8?...

Ads against El-Sayed are raining down like bullets in Michigan, often back to back. Every ad begins with "one word describes El-Sayed: socialism." Apparently socialism is the exact opposite of 'freedom.' Mike Rogers, is still figuring out how to use El-Sayed's race and religion against him.

On 9/11 my estranged father had his eyes glued to the TV, as I left for class. He told me that a plane had just flown into the North Tower. What a tragic accident, I said. He scoffed at my naivete. I left for class. Chaos reigned at the university. Classes were being canceled. And then I knew.
