Do you give a damn about the future of this country?

You wouldn’t be reading this if you didn’t. It’s never been more obvious that American democracy is fragile. And while the corporate media goes all in on horse-race journalism, we're digging for what matters: the ties between right-wing extremism and the GOP, dirty deeds done by billionaire-funded super-PACs, the how-this-affects-you implications of the candidates’ positions. One thing that can reliably stop liars, grifters, and extremists? Truth-telling independent media. And right now, we need your support.

We know you give a damn about this country’s future. So while the corporate media goes all in on horse-race journalism, we've spent this election season digging for the stories that matter.

The top pro-Hillary Clinton super-PAC, Priorities USA, released two blistering new anti-Trump advertisements on Monday night, attacking the presumptive GOP nominee’s attitudes toward women.

We’re launching ads this week in OH, VA, FL, & NV. First look (& share!) here:https://t.co/frMVrR13Dw

The ads, first broadcast by MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show and simultaneously released online, are the first salvo in the super-PAC’s massive new advertising campaign, reported by my colleague Pat Caldwell earlier today. In one of the ads, several actors mime derogatory (or downright strange) things that Trump has said about women, including comments about his daughter, Ivanka, and the Fox News presenter Megyn Kelly. The ad ends with, “Does Donald Trump really speak for you?”

The new super-PAC strategy—funded by a lavish $130 million purchase of airtime across battleground states—will focus on getting out the vote among Clinton’s key groups of supporters, particularly Latinos and African Americans. Of that $130 million, $35 million is set aside for digital advertising.

Let the auto-play digital media campaign video deluge begin.

Here’s the second ad:
