A federal judge just put an end to pro-Trump advertisements on your TV amid uproar from leftists.
On Sunday, Biden-appointed U.S. District Judge Jennifer Rochon ordered the Trump administration to stop producing and airing government-funded advertisements promoting the USA ahead of midterms.
Take a look at the ruling:
BREAKING: A judge has ordered an immediate halt to the taxpayer-funded pro-Trump ads, including any slated to run tonight.

The ads in question first played during NFL and college football games last week.
Notably, they did not promote any candidate running in the midterms.
Instead, the ads focused on America, featuring patriotic statements from President Trump about saving our country, draining the swamp, and demolishing the deep state.
But, immediately after they aired, the left started complaining about the government’s use of taxpayer funds to run the ad campaign.
NBC News reported further on the federal judge’s ruling to halt the ads:
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Sunday to stop airing ads funded by the U.S. government that portray President Donald Trump in a favorable light, effective immediately.
The lawsuit was brought by the watchdog group Common Cause; Robert Hunter, a Democratic candidate for a seat in the Alabama state House; and a labor union in New York and its political action committee. The suit was one of several similar complaints — including one by the Democratic National Committee — that were filed to get the ads off the air.
“Plaintiffs have demonstrated that they are likely to succeed on the merits, will suffer irreparable harm in the absence of an injunction, the balance of the equities tips in their favor, and an injunction serves the public interest,” U.S. District Judge Jennifer Rochon of the Southern District of New York wrote.
The administration had said in a court filing Saturday that the Department of Homeland Security, via a vendor, had placed ad buys through Sunday and had told the vendor to not purchase ads beyond that day.
Rochon said the plaintiffs’ argument was not moot, however, and ordered the Trump administration to “cancel or cause to be cancelled” any ads from airing or being disseminated, including those set to air Sunday night.
Rochon also wrote that the administration was barred from using funds appropriated to DHS to “develop, create, disseminate, place, distribute, publish, or air the challenged advertisements.”
Amid all the outrage from the left, President Trump offered to pay for the ads out of his own pocket to avoid the trouble.
Watch what he had to say in this clip:
Trump on Taxpayer Funded Campaign Ads: That's a countrywide ad. That's an ad for the spirit of our country. Now if somebody said that's wrong, I'll gladly pay the money, but these are ads for the country. I’m not promoting a candidate or myself.

In case you’re curious, here’s one of the ads that the left hates so much, along with a statement from President Trump on Truth Social:
JUST NOW: President Trump reveals he will now be PERSONALLY FUNDING all the national ads promoting his pro-USA wins that were previously funded by the government — via MAGA Inc.
"The Radical Left is upset with the fact that I am taking Ads, which I consider to be a positive…

“We will liberate America from these villains once and for all,” President Trump says in the ad.
What’s so bad about that?
Even if you argue that there’s a problem with using taxpayer money to fund the ads, why not let President Trump continue to run them using his own money?
I don’t know about you, but to me, this judge’s decision feel extremely politically-motivated in light of the situation.
Think about it: we are three weeks out from midterms, and a judge suddenly orders no more pro-Trump ads on TV.
As if, somehow, that will stop his supporters from voting for pro-MAGA candidates at the polls!
It’s ridiculous.
Take a look at some of these responses from folks on X:
@kyledcheney The federal district court system has literally become the playground for “things I don’t like should be enjoined”.
