Those Pro-Trump TV ads? Funded with money approved for Customs & Border Protection, per official & GOP senator. Susan Collins says it's from the big beautiful bill, not appropriations. Wise move? Jim Justice: "Well, if that's exactly what happened, probably not." www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

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.

Eric Schmitt needs to resign. He exposed himself today as a bad-faithed disinformation purveyor, not interested in the facts or doing work of the people, but rather engaging in fruitless witch hunts to settle the personal grievances of a deeply insecure and pathologically broken president.

The UAE shares no border with Sudan and faces no refugee crisis from its war. It has only an interest in the country’s gold, ports, and in making sure a popular revolution doesn’t spread.

I hope we get some real reporting on how this came to happen. Did Schmitt know it was a lie, but believe that Smith somehow wouldn’t be able to disprove it on the spot? Or was it that he really just jumped the gun in the most idiotic possible way? What was with them yanking away that placard? Etc.
