Senator uses PAC funds for Personal Expenses

Gallego spent PAC money on Disney World, Miami birthday bash, and Super Bowl tickets

Arizona Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego tapped his leadership PAC and a joint campaign account to bankroll family trips to Disney World, a luxury Miami Beach hotel for his wife's birthday, a jaunt to St. Barts, and Super Bowl tickets, all while positioning himself as a champion of working families struggling with the cost of living.

The spending, first reported by Politico and detailed by the Daily Caller News Foundation, draws from FEC records showing that Gallego's JUNTOS PAC raised nearly $1.5 million as of May 31, 2026. The senator also used PAC funds for $18,000 in child care reimbursements since 2019, including a $400 payment to his wife Sydney Gallego's mother for babysitting.

Gallego's response was to shrug. In a statement attributed to Politico, the senator said:
"This is not breaking news. With the rising costs of child care and the burden it has on the budgets of American families, Democrats and Republicans in Congress and the White House alike regularly travel with their wives and children, as is permitted by the FEC."
Permitted by the FEC, perhaps. But the details paint a picture that most donors, and most Arizona voters, might find hard to square with a populist brand.

Gallego's spending is technically legal under current FEC rules, and that is part of the problem. Campaign funds cannot be used for "personal use", defined as activities irrespective of the campaign. But leadership PACs like JUNTOS PAC are not bound by that restriction. Lawmakers can use leadership PAC money for a broad range of activities as long as there is some fundraising function attached.

Trump ready to primary Thomas Massie

Trump Launches MAGA PAC to Oust Rep. Massie

President Trump's political operation has launched an aggressive effort to unseat Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, its first such effort to defeat a sitting Republican incumbent, Axios has reported.

By going after Massie, Trump's team is looking to put wayward Republicans on notice that they're ready to play hardball.

Massie has attacked Trump over his strike on Iran, saying on X that it was "not Constitutional," prompting the president to fire back on Truth Social that the congressman is "not MAGA."

He also called Massie "weak, ineffective" and "disrespectful to our great military, and all that they stand for."

Massie was one of two House Republicans to vote against Trump's "big beautiful bill" last month, leading Trump to declare that he should be "voted out of office."

Andrew Cuomo's Campaign fined and under Investigation

Andrew Cuomo hit with financial penalties in NYC mayoral race

In a twist of events, New York City mayoral candidate and former governor Andrew Cuomo faces significant financial penalties amid his campaign.

Newsmax reported that Cuomo, once again the focus of controversy, has been fined a substantial amount by the New York City Campaign Finance Board over allegations of improper coordination with a Political Action Committee (PAC).

The issue centers around a specific PAC called "Fix the City." Cuomo has been accused of coordinating efforts with this PAC, an action that violates established campaign finance rules.

The allegations stem from activities carried out during his ongoing mayoral campaign.

The New York City Campaign Finance Board recently imposed a second fine of $675,000 on Cuomo. This comes only two weeks after a previous penalty was levied against him.

The earlier fine, amounting to $622,056, was for an advertisement aired by "Fix the City," which was suspected to have been produced in collaboration with Cuomo's campaign team.

During his appearance on News Nation, Thomas revealed that he has lost faith in DeSantis as a viable candidate due to his lack of charm, charisma, discipline and likeability.

Beyond attacking the Governor directly, Thomas spoke highly of Trump stating that “he is a strong leader who understands how to get things done.”

Biden PAC reports Missing Millions

Biden PAC Exposed in Shock Report – You Won’t Believe How Much Just Went “Missing”

A political action committee is a group that mostly raises cash for political campaigns. Politicians often rely on these groups to keep their candidacies alive.

From The Epoch Times:
Nearly $12 million is missing in financial disclosures for a super political action committee for President Joe Biden, prompting calls for an investigation.
