Ambassador Bridget Brink is telling voters that she stood up to Donald Trump. But when she worked for Trump, she publicly defended him- even facing backlash from Ukrainians for a social media post thanking him for “standing up for America in a way that no President has ever had the courage to do before” following the disastrous Oval Office meeting with President Zelenskyy. 📺 Watch for yourself:

Sixteen years ago today, the Supreme Court opened the door to unlimited money from billionaires and corporations in our elections, and trust in government has fallen ever since. Rebuilding trust starts with leaders proving they work for people, not special interests. I talked with Paige on the @currentaffairsunfilteredpod about why I don’t take corporate PAC money and why Congress should be banned from trading stocks.

We should take Trump’s statement that “a whole civilization will die” in Iran seriously. Those are the words of a madman threatening a war crime. I’ve carried the nuclear codes for the President of the United States. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what a scenario like this means for humanity - everyone loses. It’s time for Congress to stand up and stop his reckless use of force.

I am incredibly honored to have the support of Senator Slotkin. I’m grateful for her trust in me, and I’m ready to follow her example: fight for every vote, defeat Tom Barrett, flip this seat, and help take back the House so we can put a check on Donald Trump. Can you chip in to help us flip this battleground seat?

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.
