Ironic how the PAC through which this money is being funneled is called No Going Back when the GOP is determined to undo decades of social progress. Then again, this is the Republican Party we're talking about here. It doesn't have to make sense.

Call these ads what they are: reichwing LIES. Expose these liars by buying ads on Fauxnooz where MAGA gets their “ information”.

It has been shown, through the results of recent political outcomes, that money isn't the main factor. People are wise to trump's lies, and those of the republican party, when it comes to the claims they make in their advertising. Let them spend their money in ads...it would be more productive if they sent the money to the voters, a thing they always promise and never do.

Those recently elected in spite of being outspent, such as Mayor Mamdani, are providing what they promised to citizens. That goes a lot farther than the lies the R's are spending so much money broadcasting.

I sure hope you’re right.

If all of the D candidates have to keep spending on defense ads, there goes their message. What strategy do they have instead? Dems have some pretty sexy surrogates who are pounding the pavement and ripping up the cornfields to get the message to rural voters whose main source of information is Fox and X. The billboards must be simple and personal:

If you enjoy being lied to;

if you like being treated with disrespect and

if you want to vote for the Epstein Class,

Vote Republican.

Thanks for this information, Judd. Are you able to see ad reserves by Musk as well? And perhaps add together the totals from Musk and MAGA? I'm in NH and Chris Papas just announced Musk pouring money in against him, too.

“This is false.” “This isn’t true.” No news 📰 it’s normalized behavior now. And yes, there are people who will believe it if they see it a few times on 📺

Worried that NH could backslide to that snake oil salesman Sununu…

Thanks for the info-boy do we ever need to get big money out of politics.

Here in Texas, they blamed Talarico for being responsible for China being allowed to purchase millions of acres of Texas land when the house, senate, and governor are, and have been for decades, totally republican controlled.

Those people who make the false ads know that they are lies. Seems to me, that's an actionable offense; libel perhaps? There ought to be penalties, beginning with public retractions and including in-kind donations to the offended party.

Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst. These ads have worked for Republicans for 50 years. Democracy needs nothing short of a miracle.

I agree, Joseph. Oftentimes, it is hard to wrap my head around the fact that the republicans in my red State complain on and on about money to feed hungry children, about our brother and sister immigrants who do work they themselves wouldn't do, bemoan higher energy prices when the whole State legislature is a Republican majority and, yet, when it comes to voting, the republican complainers still press that "R" button and vote against themselves. Even when truth and facts are presented in a conversational way, truth and facts don't seem to matter.

Thanks.

No recourse for blatant public lies? Obviously information is a precious commodity. Really appreciate you providing it.

Straight out of Nixon's Dirty Tricks handbook. Nixon started his nastiness on his first election. Trump is following the Republican way to be elected.

This blatant lying just infuriates me. Public financing of elections NOW!

And thanks to the un-Supreme Court, it's all perfectly legal. You see, political ads are not required to be accurate/true. That's a green flag to the red hat guys.

Can we run an advertising campaign which points out to people the source of "No Going Back" funds? It could something like, "If you've seen and ad or received a mailing from the "No Going Back" PAC you should know that it's coming directly from Donald Trump. Those ads are filled with lies and propaganda designed to get you to believe B.S. about honest, reputable people. It is impossible to trust anyone who would use such ads. If a candidate does, you know you can't trust them to tell the truth or pursue YOUR interests if they're elected. The mute button and the circular file were invented just for them.
