The Trump administration is looting the federal treasury to finance its own election propaganda. We’re fighting back.

We filed a lawsuit against the administration on behalf of @wisdems.org & @yeelengxiong.bsky.social over its use of $20M in taxpayer funds for partisan political ads.

@democracydefendersaction.orgOct 9, 2026, 8:00 PM

The Trump Administration used $20 million in redirected DHS funds for ads promoting Trump.

Congress must demand answers, accountability, and reimbursement to taxpayers.

Our team explains why in @theprogressivemag.bsky.social

Trump promised to end inflation and make America affordable. Instead, he traded stocks at least 21,000 times in 2025 alone. Pocketed at least $2B—so far. Not to worry, though. The public gets to see his face on coins, passports, and federal buildings.

Pay big, get time with the president.

That’s the Trump coin dinner pitch, and a similar event last year reportedly drew almost $2 billion. Trump’s made $635 million off the coin while buyers of his crypto lost an estimated $4.7 billion.

Shameless. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

Trump keeps testing how far he can go. Congress’s job is to stop him.

He used $20M in taxpayer funds for partisan ads glorifying himself, then said his super PAC would pay going forward—but taxpayers still haven’t been reimbursed.

Oversight means accountability—not a shrug. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

Trump used taxpayer dollars to run campaign-style ads. Now he says his super PAC will pay for future ads—but taxpayers are still paying for the $20M of ads already aired. Congress has a duty to hold the admin accountable. “Concern” isn’t oversight. We need members of Congress who will do their job

We’re proud to represent JMSN as he stands up to MAGA Inc. over its unauthorized use of his song “Love Me” in one of Trump’s taxpayer-funded propaganda ads. After first sending a cease-and-desist to the White House, JMSN is now demanding MAGA Inc. stop using his music.

Trump’s sons have investment ties to companies that have won $6B+ in Pentagon contracts since his election.

Now Trump is announcing a $6.6B Anduril deal while their investment firm holds a major stake.

@oversightdemocrats.bsky.social are right to demand answers.

@democracydefendersaction.orgOct 7, 2026, 4:36 PM

Let them eat monuments to Trump!

Trump said he’d “pay for” the ads. Now the WH says that does NOT mean reimbursing taxpayers for the money already spent. MAGA Inc. will cover future ads—but taxpayers are still stuck with the $20M+ bill for political propaganda Trump & should have paid for in the first place.

@democracydefendersaction.orgOct 6, 2026, 3:47 PM

If Trump’s super PAC can pay for these ads now, why were taxpayers paying for them in the first place?

More than $10 million in taxpayer-funded ads have already aired. Now MAGA Inc. will pick up the tab.

So who decided taxpayers should foot the bill to begin with? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/05/u...

A dubious promise of $5k checks for all $500 payments to healthcare enrollees-in red states $90 payments to seniors This is a red herring on steroids and raises serious legal questions about buying votes. ...and none of it will fix the bad WH policies driving the affordability crisis.

32 days til Election Day. Voting by mail, early, or on Election Day? Pick what works for you, then invite family, friends, neighbors or co-workers to join you. #LetsGetVoteReady #WeAreAmericaAndWeVote https://www.andwevote.org/p/ddf

If an administration can bend rules, intimidate opponents, or meddle with elections, the answer cannot be to sit out. Voter registration deadlines are approaching in states across the country.

Check your registration. Register if you need to. Be ready to make your voice heard. #LetsGetVoteReady

Trump’s memecoin investors lost a collective $4.7B. Trump made at least $635M. Now he’s selling access to the White House once again, offering his biggest investors dinner with the president. The jig is up—or it would be if Congress did its duty and demanded answers.

@democracydefendersaction.orgOct 2, 2026, 1:31 AM

Georgia’s GOP-controlled election board is escalating its push to advance Trump’s election-interference agenda—a desperate attempt to change the rules weeks before voting begins.

@democracydefendersaction.orgOct 1, 2026, 7:13 PM

Trump took a 2024 campaign ad, put “Paid for by the U.S. Government” at the end, and ran it on taxpayers’ dime.

More than $1.7 million from DHS went into ads during football and prime time.

The White House calls that a PSA🙄 We aren’t fooled. #PayToPlayPresident

@democracydefendersaction.orgOct 1, 2026, 6:28 PM

The White House calls Trump’s taxpayer-funded TV ad “education.” Education about what? That a president can use government money to put himself on TV while people are trying to cover rent, groceries, and gas?

That arrogance costs all of us. #PayToPlayPresident

The Kennedy Center was financially stable before Trump took over. Since then, Trump and his handpicked board have driven away donors and audiences, gutted staff, drained reserves, and piled on debt—while claiming they inherited a failing institution. The record says otherwise.

@democracydefendersaction.orgOct 1, 2026, 2:33 PM

Trump and the GOP gutted health care last year. So now Americans are paying more for health care, not to mention gas, groceries, and housing.

A one-time $500 check for a few is propaganda—not policy. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/09/30/obamacare-aca-refund-checks.html
