You know it’s bad when the scariest thing about America right now isn’t a horror movie, it’s the news! Child rapists in positions of power, healthcare out of reach, and basic human dignity somehow up for debate. This isn’t normal and we should never let it feel like it is. HD36, enough is enough. #rustinforcongress #congress #ca36

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.
