You may have seen a few familiar MAGA faces distance themselves from Trump this past week. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Peter Thiel. Sen. John Kennedy. But hold your applause for now, because their courage just happened to show up when the cost of speaking out got cheap. (link below)

How clear is it that Trump's taxpayer funded ads are illegal? I explain why it is 10/10 clear. Senate in passing the law: Ban is designed to stop public funds used for "glorification" of an individual official. GAO: funds can not be used for "self-aggrandizement" nor partisan political purposes.
