Judge Orders 3 Taxpayer-Funded Trump Administration Ads to Be Pulled From TV and Social Media

A federal judge ordered three government-funded advertisements removed after finding the challengers likely to succeed in arguing that they were partisan propaganda rather than public-service communications.

The judge declined to block at least ten other ads and acknowledged that administrations may explain policy and answer criticism. The narrow order therefore supplies both evidence of abuse and a counterweight against treating every official message as unlawful.
