🚨BREAKING: Democrats are suing the Trump administration for using $20 million in taxpayer money on campaign-style TV ads promoting Trump. The ads carry explicit disclaimers saying they were paid for by the U.S. government, which the party argues violate federal law.
Court document with case title: Democratic National Committee vs. Donald J. Trump, The White House Office, Office of Management and Budget, and U.S. Department of Homeland Security, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The complaint alleges misuse of taxpayer dollars for political advertising.

Speculating. Possible Trump is jealous of David M. Rubenstein, Carlyle Group co-founder & chair? Trump replaced Rubenstein as Kennedy Center chair & his administration waffled for months on approval for a Carlyle-Lukoil deal. Maybe out for revenge is a better choice of words...

It’s interesting how the standard bearer for the party whose message used to be “Democrats suck because they just buy votes by giving people free stuff” has decided the closing message for the midterms will just be “how many more checks do we have to send you in order to earn your vote?”

It's one thing to wheel out Matt Gaetz to scream "trans" loudly as a distraction from these disastrous years of war and misrule. That's an established trope. But to have Tuberville, in all his bespittled glory, inveighing against Furries as the new frontier in GOP electoral distraction. Well, damn.
