First Draft: 📺 Trump’s White House Agrees His ‘Midterm Ads’ Are Illegal. They’re Doing It Anyway
Donald Trump is demanding the propagandistic TV ads, even as some of his aides fret they ‘obviously’ break federal law. Missouri MAGA Senator Eric Schmitt, meanwhile, makes a fool of himself.

A few hundred noncitizen votes are a national scandal. But when states reject hundreds of thousands of ballots from eligible voters, it’s business as usual
One state rejected ballots because some voters failed to include their mother’s maiden name on the back of the return envelope.

Shocker. The Trump admin’s story doesn’t match reality. not even close. Trump on Mesabi Metallics’ proposed $15 BILLION steel plant in Lee County, Iowa: “They’ve already started building.” REALITY: No permits, disclosed site, or major land purchase. Financial incentives still unresolved.

On the same day Trump announces that top tech firms have signed an accord to "self-police" their own AI development, we learned that OpenAI employees and security researchers were reportedly ignored when they brought safety concerns to the company's top executives. See the problem here?

Employees and security researchers said that they had cautioned the company on safely testing its A.I. models and strengthening its corporate infrastructure, but that OpenAI did not listen.

Jamie Raskin calls out the shitty ads as a crime (this was cited by CNN and other stories). This is the kind of Xitter post that I beg of @raskin.house.gov or other MoCs to cross-post over here -- not least bc more people over here are likely to magnify it.
Rep. Jamie Raskin

@RepRaskin
This may be felony criminal theft and conversion of government property for political campaign purposes. 18 U.S.C. § 1641. It is a Hatch Act violation for any government employees who worked on it or used government resources to make it. It is blatantly unethical under numerous federal ethics provisions proscribing the use of government resources for political campaigns.

Aside from toeing the party line, these senators really hate Jack Smith because they're viscerally opposed to the idea of prosecuting politicians. They are committed to their own elite impunity above and beyond whatever they think of Trump. Thus their obsession with the phone records non-issue.

They rationalize it, of course. That it's about constitutional principles and not criminalizing politics etc. But on an emotional level they see themselves as potential defendants in the abstract and hate being put on the same level with everyone else in that way. It's "don't you know who I am"-ism.

They'll do performative outrage for Trump. They're actually outraged at the idea that they aren't so special as to be above the law. They have a genuine class solidarity with Trump insofar as the class they care about is people in high elected office not being subject to the criminal justice system.
