Patrick Chovanec @prchovanec.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I keep pointing this out, but MAGA fundraisers implying they control access to government checks on the condition you respond to them is pretty blatantly illegal. 38924
Patrick Chovanec @prchovanec.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I keep getting these text messages from MAGA fundraisers implying that they have some sort of authority over the issuance of government checks. Strikes me as fraud. 46616

Patrick Chovanec @prchovanec.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Here’s my question: if federal DOGE checks existed, which they don’t, wouldn’t it be illegal to use them as bait in political fundraising appeals? Any more than social security checks? 6316
