These ads go in the same category as brazen, easily disproven lies after ICE killings. It’s not about persuasion. It’s a display of power. They could have passed them off as PAC-funded. They added “paid for by the U.S. government” because they want us to know they can break the law with impunity.

WELKER: Did President Xi actually commit to stop China's support of Iran with this war? MIKE WALTZ: They've had, uh, good, strong, and I think fulsome conversations about that support, but I'll leave that to the president to detail (So, no!)

We should try having some group of people who get to vote on approving agency heads like OMB director.

Sen. Susan Collins

@SenatorCollins
Without warning or consultation, Congress just received an $810 million package of pocket rescissions from the Administration.  This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to undermine Congress’s Constitutional power of the purse. 
 
This move shows that OMB intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation of appropriations that were approved on a bipartisan basis and signed into law.  
  
Not only is the delay itself an impoundment that was not reported to Congress, but also it is a usurpation of Congress’s appropriations powers.  OMB is an agency of the executive branch.  It does not get to decide which programs are worth funding.
 
The independent Government Accountability Office has concluded that pocket rescissions are unlawful and not permitted by the Impoundment Control Act. Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law.
 
I will work with my colleagues to address these illegal actions.

As the White House tries to play people for fools, claiming Trump’s new taxpayer-financed propaganda ad is a “public service announcement,” Dems are taking a hard line: “This is the sort of government propaganda one might expect in North Korea,” they said, calling the ad “utterly illegal.”

White House pretends its taxpayer-financed propaganda is a ‘public service announcement’
Key congressional Democrats called the pro-Trump ad “an egregious and utterly illegal misuse of Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars.”

Gosh, if only there were some kind of professional organization for White House journalists that existed to advocate for the First Amendment and defend the freedom of the press. They could organize together as a united front against Trump's censorship. That would be something.

A president conditioning a $5,000 payment on his own party winning Congress is buying an election result out loud, on camera, and calling it a dividend to make it sound legitimate. Nobody gets to purchase your vote with your own tax dollars. #CorruptTrumpRegime

Once you notice this, it's the most obvious double standard in the political press. Democrats have to answer for the smallest voice even if it has no actual tie to them, but Republicans never have to answer for the insanely racist billionaire donor driving their entire party.
