WSJ Exclusive: The Trump admin used federal funds from the Department of Homeland Security to finance those controversial pro-Trump ads that started airing on TV. The taxpayer money used to fund the ads came from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Exclusive | Homeland Security Money Financed Pro-Trump Television Ads
White House calls the spots public-service ads, but critics argue using taxpayer money for campaign-like messaging may violate federal law.

I was just reading that Eric Schmitt was a possible front-runner to be JD Vance’s running mate in 2028, and based on his smug, boorish, obnoxious, and idiotic performance today he seems like a perfect fit for Vance.

“Total dirtbag” @ Eric Schmitt relies on fast-talking as cover for his gotcha moment, based on lies. He confused the ATL Hawks for the Iowa Hawkeyes, then got angry when he was busted in the hearing. Thanks Atty. Jack Smith & Sen. Klobuchar, for catching the lie & getting the truth into the record.

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.

We need to get a full accounting of every dollar each media company accepted of our money stolen by Trump to run his partisan political ads on their channels. Companies who accept these ads are receiving property stolen from the American people & are a disgrace for accepting them

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

We & the media are NOT talking enough about how a Florida grand jury found that $10 million was funneled from a settlement intended to benefit Florida taxpayers to Ron DeSantis’s wife’s illegitimate “charity” (that never registered with the IRS), where it was laundered before it got to the FLA GOP.

This started with them saying a few thousand dollars were misappropriated. Now it's 10 million in Medicaid dollars, routed through DeSantis' wife's charity, then funneled to GOP groups. This is the tip of the iceberg. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
