  • You may have seen in the news that we are suing Trump for his brazenly corrupt scheme to sell his social media posts to Wall Street. But it's not the only lawsuit we filed. In fact, we have NINE active lawsuits against the Trump administration or his cronies, and several more in the works. Watch our video to find out more and stay till the end to learn how you can help.

  • It’s not just press freedom organizations like us. Everyone from Joe Rogan and Glenn Beck to Ted Cruz has had enough of Brendan Carr’s efforts to punish news that Donald Trump doesn’t like. They know that once Carr’s nonsense is normalized, the censorship won’t only be aimed at the left.

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
