$37.5 billion. That's what Pete Hegseth told the Senate this war has cost us...so far. No stated objective. No exit strategy. And the Pentagon just came back asking Congress for $67 billion more. I'm Kelly Thompson, and I won't stay quiet. Send me $25 right now to help my campaign so that I can make them answer for this.

Each name opens the page’s Vipima page, with its own figures and its link to Meta’s Ad Library.
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.
