  • Hey, it’s Paul Eaton here asking you to chip in to my friend Eugene Vindman’s campaign. He and his brother reported the Trump call that led to his impeachment in his first term. Now, he is running for Congress to serve the people of Virginia’s 7th Congressional District, and I am humbly asking if you can donate $5 or $10 to his campaign.

  • Ashley Hinson says tariffs are "working." Iowans would like a word. Tariffs are raising the price of everything from fertilizer to school supplies. Tell Hinson to remove the tariffs from S.5025.

  • Ashley Hinson says tariffs are "working." But it doesn’t look that way from Iowa. Tariffs are driving up the cost of fertilizer, gas, and more. Tell Hinson to remove the tariffs from S.5025 and put Iowa first.

  • We made a promise to care for the Afghan allies who supported the United States in Afghanistan. Instead of honoring that commitment, the administration is planning to ship them to the Congo. If they refuse, they will be sent back to the Taliban. They fought by our sides. They put their families at risk to help our Veterans. We cannot stand by and let our country break its word to the people who kept our Troops safe. Add your name to the petition today and demand an end to this outrageous plan.

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.
