Trump Directed Use of Taxpayer Money for Ads Praising His Presidency
The government-funded ads show just how much President Trump has been able to use federal money for his own aims.

ICE arrested the mom of a 9-year-old at a school bus stop in Austin, leaving him alone and crying. The video has profanity and is heartbreaking to watch, but it shows the fear/pain of what happened. This is evil. This is wrong. And it has to stop.

I have never underestimated Trump’s lying, or his ability to spew bullshit. But he has in fact lost substantial control of his mind. And his ability to distinguish truth from lies—which was never really strong or important to him—is, at this point, de minimis.

Truly incredible how Trump has destroyed every single Republican talking point just in time for the midterms
Screenshot of an X post from the verified “Senate Republicans” account, @SenateGOP. The post reads: “Democrat socialists love to promise free stuff. But they never mention who pays for it.” Beneath the post is an X Community Note labeled “Readers added context.” The note states: “President Donald Trump has proposed several direct cash payouts and rebates funded by tariffs or budget cuts. None were provided.” It lists links from WBAL-TV, ABC7 Chicago, YouTube, and The New York Times as sources. At the bottom of the screenshot, the post is timestamped 4:06 PM on September 23, 2026, and shows 352,000 views.
