Trump says that he’s going to start paying for those propaganda ads with his super PAC money but no word on whether he’ll reimburse the government for the millions already spent.
Trump's propaganda for an illegal invasion and occupation.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 23h agothis taxpayer-funded agitprop just aired on Newsmax reminder as you watch this that the Trump administration's line is these are "public service announcements," not propaganda
Trump on Monday said that he would pay for TV ads himself or with money raised from the MAGA political committee after legal pushback over the use of taxpayer-funded television ads. Sidebar: the lawyers got involved, he has no conscience. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Rick Hasen@rickhasen.bsky.social · 21h ago#ELB: “Facing Backlash, Trump Says His Super PAC Will Pay for Taxpayer-Funded Ads” https://electionlawblog.org/2026/facing-backlash-trump-says-his-super-pac-will-pay-for-taxpayer-funded-ads/
NEWS: Trump personally ordered $10 million in Homeland Security money spent on TV ads promoting himself, and only offered to have his super PAC pay once he got caught. Treating the federal treasury like a personal slush fund isn't a mistake you fix with a refund—it's a crime you get prosecuted for.
Someone told him this was not only illegal (which he doesn't care about) but also an impeachable offense. (Which he does care about.)
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 21h agoBREAKING: Trump just caved — claiming online that his super PAC will now pay for those propaganda ads taxpayers had previously been funding.
One of these was literally a Trump 2024 campaign ad. The only difference is that it now says "paid for by the US government"

Meanwhile, earlier today Pete Hegseth bragged about how he fired 20% of the country’s generals, weeding out the ones he and Trump find disloyal to their agenda And while I hope to G-d these things aren’t related, I’m terrified that they are
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6d agoOssoff: "You played earlier the tape of Mike Collins, a sitting member of Congress and the Republican candidate for senate in Georgia, supporting the deployment of federal troops to polling places in Georgia this fall. Folks, this is a 5 alarm fire."
No one wants Hegseth’s extremist holy war. VOTE
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6d agoHegseth: "We need students of western civilization and the pillars of our republic. Leaders who understand the faith of Jerusalem, the philosophy of anthems -- Athens. The power of Rome, and the freedom of Philadelphia circa 1776."
Hegseth's plan to "downsize the top brass" is nothing but cover for a plan to eliminate women, Blacks, Hispanics and other minorities from the ranks of the generals and admirals and replace them with political commissars that he will handpick. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Hegseth confirms plan to cut 20% of US top military brass and rails at ‘beardos, weirdos and wimps’
Amid latest extraordinary attack on diversity, US defense secretary also suggests military is retaining service personnel at ‘record’ rates
