Hey, it’s Peggy Flanagan. My Ojibwe name means 'Speaks in a Loud and Clear Voice woman,’ and today, I’m using that voice to call out MAGA extremism — loudly and clearly. But I need your help. Your support helps us build a grassroots campaign strong enough to be heard above the noise. Please pitch in whatever you can today to join our grassroots movement, hold MAGA Republicans accountable, and fight for progressive change. Thank you.

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.
