The Democratic National Committee (DNC) sued President Donald Trump and his administration over the use of taxpayer-funded ads to help Republicans ahead of the midterms.

The lawsuit was filed in federal court on Wednesday, where the DNC accused the Trump administration of continuing to air ads at “government expense” after the president reportedly vowed on Monday to use super PAC and MAGA Inc. funds to pay for the ads, Politico reported.

“With less than 30 days remaining before the midterm election and millions of public dollars apportioned to pay for propaganda ads still unspent, the DNC has no choice but to take action in defense of free and fair elections,” the complaint reads.

The DNC filed in Washington yesterday, crying that $20 million in Customs and Border Protection money got used on TV spots and that breaks some propaganda rule.

The party that ran the country with an autopen is suing because Trump bought ads.

Ken Martin wants a judge to shut them down with less than 30 days to the midterms.

Trump already said Monday that MAGA Inc. picks up the tab from here. They sued anyway.

Four years of a propped-up president and not one lawsuit. Trump puts his face on a border ad and suddenly it is a crisis.

They are not defending elections. They are scared the ads are working.

“Donald Trump doesn’t get to turn the federal government into his personal campaign operation, and he sure as hell doesn’t get to make taxpayers foot the bill,” DNC chair Ken Martin railed on X. “Using public dollars for partisan propaganda isn’t governing. It’s an abuse of power.”

“The DNC alleges that the Office of Management and Budget shifted $20 million in Customs and Border Protection funds for the campaign, which began airing in late September,” and that they are being used for “propaganda,” Politico reported.

“They can’t beat him, so they sue!” Ryan Fournier said about the DNC’s move on X:

🚨 BREAKING: The DNC is suing the Trump administration AGAIN!
They’re crying over federal border ads, claiming taxpayer money is being used for “political propaganda.”
The Democrats are completely unhinged because President Trump’s message is winning. They can’t beat him, so they sue! 🤡🇺🇸
