Whether Trump reimburses taxpayers for the money he stole in producing these illegal ads doesn't change the fact that he stole $20m from all of us to illegally run ads to fluff up his bleak electoral prospects. Jawdropping abuse of power by the worst American leader in our history.

Relative got a $500 check from US Treasury and a shocking letter full of lies signed by Trump and ending with "May God bless you". Basically a pre-electoral bribe. News reports say they're sending almost a million of these. Full text in alt below. (I told him to cash it quick before it bounces.)
Dear [name],

For years, the Biden Administration overcharged you to fund the operation of HealthCare.gov. That money belongs to hard-working Americans, not the Government, and now, I am returning it to you!

With this Historic Action, my Administration is taking the surplus funds that accumulated from the Obamacare ''Premium Tax" and issuing a one-time $500 REFUND to Americans who use the HealthCare.gov platform to purchase their health insurance, but who do not receive Taxpayer Subsidies to help pay for their Coverage. You have paid into this flawed System, and now you are finally getting something back.

Healthcare Dollars should benefit Patients, not Insurance Companies or Government Bureaucrats. Since returning to office, I have fought to lower Healthcare Costs, increase Accountability, and Put Patients First. Through TrumpRx, we are delivering massive discounts on Household Prescription Drugs, and my Most-Favored-Nation Pricing Agreements have already saved Americans more than 1 Billion Dollars on much-needed Medications. We also secured an unprecedented 50 Billion Dollar investment to transform Rural Healthcare, expanded access to Health Saving Accounts for millions of people on Obamacare, and restored Pnce Transparency, all while roofing out the Waste, Fraud, and abuse across our Healthcare System.

I am proud to return your money to you, and I will never stop fighting to put the American People FIRST, restore Affordability, protect your hard-earned money, and lower the Cost of Healthcare.

May God bless you, and may He continue to bless the United States of America!

Sincerely,

[signed] 

DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

I've seen the dark money BS texts about Amendment 87. The facts: it only raises taxes on those earning more than $500k per year. It lowers taxes for those making <$100k per year. Period. Vote #YesOn87 Vote #NoOn136 to preserve our ability to ask the wealthy to pay a bit more than the poor.

If you wonder whether might Trump might cheat to keep the Rs in power consider that this ad campaign he is running, with our tax dollars, is brazenly illegal. He's already cheating in the election, and we should expect far more in the days ahead.

#CornellUniversity, there are lots of parents watching how you're handling sexual assault allegations. It looks horrific from where I sit. No way I'd invest in a young person's education at a place that seems more interested in minimizing PR/reputational damage than supporting actual justice.
