TV ads showing President Trump in a flattering light — one nearly a copy of his 2024 campaign ad — were paid for with money Congress set aside for the border agency. The White House calls them public service announcements. The Senate's top Republican says taxpayers shouldn't be footing it.

Pro-Trump TV ads paid for with Customs and Border Protection money, official says
The ads, which the White House has described as “public service announcements,” drew bipartisan criticism for being paid for with taxpayer money.

A television ad ran during Sunday's NFL games: Trump walking down a hall, saying "this is the final battle." His campaign ran the same spot in 2024, when the fine print read "Paid for by Donald J. Trump for President 2024, Inc." It now reads "Paid for by the U.S. Government."

White House releases new taxpayer-funded ad describing ‘final battle’
The ad is nearly identical to one Trump’s presidential campaign released in 2024.

The most a landlord can be fined for hiding that your apartment has lead paint is $22,263. By law that rises with inflation every year. This year it does not: the shutdown killed October's inflation figure, the law names that one number, and prices cannot be collected later.

Civil Monetary Penalty Amounts for 2026
Notice - Notice. This notice informs the public that inflation adjustments of civil monetary penalty amounts required by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, as amended by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 (the 2015 Act) are not being made for 2026.

It's already estimated that the richest 1% alone evade $163 billion in taxes every year. But Trump gutted the IRS — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires. The agency's audit revenue fell 35%. Now, Trump's IRS is not publishing data on unpaid taxes. See the problem?

It took a lot of courage to fight Marxism with a state-produced, montage-heavy tribute to the head of state, set to ominous music, and paid for with our taxes. Stalin couldn’t have done it better.

The Labor Department has finalized a rule requiring states to hand over confidential unemployment claim records to federal officials — including Labor's own internal watchdog — for fraud audits. It takes effect in November. States needing to change their own laws have until September 2027.
federalregister.gov
Federal-State Unemployment Compensation (UC) Program; Data Availability
Rule - Final rule. The Department of Labor (DOL or the Department) is issuing this final rule to require the disclosure of confidential unemployment compensation (UC) information to Federal officials for purposes of UC program oversight and audits. This rule will ensure that Federal officials, including the Department's Office of Inspector General (DOL- OIG), are able to obtain the information needed from State UC agencies to ensure proper oversight of the UC programs and to hold State UC agencies accountable for identifying and addressing fraud in UC programs.

First, Trump banned independent news from the White House. Now, he's launching what is quite literally state-run TV to try drowning out the fact that he and his corrupt administration are failing the American people. This is truly autocratic behavior from a failed President.
