Taxpayer-funded Trump ads
DHS set aside $20 million for an ad campaign featuring President Trump, and nearly $12 million worth had aired as of Oct. 7. After criticism from lawmakers in both parties, Trump said future versions will be paid for by his political operation. Asked whether taxpayers would be reimbursed for what's already aired, he said, 'We'll decide.' Some lawmakers and legal experts question whether the ads break limits on using federal money for propaganda or political purposes. Congress controls DHS funding and can investigate whether that money was used legally.
Flight delays from aging air traffic systems
A failed circuit at a Philadelphia FAA facility and a cut backup fiber line in New Jersey disrupted air traffic control across the Northeast and delayed or canceled thousands of flights. The failed circuit is due to be replaced in the national air traffic overhaul. Congress funded modernization last year; the Transportation Department is asking for more money to finish upgrades.
FBI looking into anti-ICE protesters
Jill Fields, a former FBI supervisory intelligence analyst, has filed a whistleblower complaint alleging that the White House and senior Justice Department officials pressured the FBI to investigate Los Angeles protesters because of their anti-ICE activity. She says FBI staff warned that some of the requested investigations would violate the First Amendment and agency rules. The White House disputes this and says agents targeted criminal activity, not protected speech. Sen. Alex Padilla, who received the disclosure, is asking DOJ and the FBI for records. Congress can investigate and change the safeguards around political interference, whistleblowers, and FBI investigations.
