This week's cast: a Kennedy, a shelter director, a man in a wheelchair and a Colorado hearing officer. Across from them: Trump's lawyers, the DOJ, a Republican nominee for governor and Kansas Republicans. One side went 0 for 4. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-is-t...

Trump is going on a red-state campaign tour, which may feel pointless, except red state Republicans may be in trouble. Senate Republicans' campaign arm is diverting $8 million in ad spending to Kansas, in fear that incumbent Roger Marshall is in danger of losing his seat.

Tho I actually like this post better. IMO, one smart response to these ads is to taunt GOP MoCs that Trump is still sitting on mountains of $$ and instead using taxpayer dollars to remind voters what a corrupt asshole he is.
The inept White House political propagandists are using our money on government-sponsored campaign TV ads for the sinking GOP. The latest commercial tries to rally the dwindling MAGA base by reminding them that Trump once posed as a fighter against warmongers and a corrupt political establishment, but the recycled ad just sharply reminds everyone that the lying Trump is the war-maker-in-chief and presides over the most corrupt presidential administration in U.S. history. You can’t use our tax dollars to fool us.
