Congress just gave the world its best look yet at the ads purchased on Facebook by Russia-connected accounts during the contentious 2016 election season.

Sen. Richard Burr provided the first images from Wednesday’s hearing, the second in as many days to center on Russia’s use of social media to manipulate the 2016 election. They included a “Heart of Texas” post pushing for the state to secede from the U.S., as well as posts from a page called “United Muslims of America.”

The images below come from Burr’s office. Other senators are expected to release more throughout Wednesday’s hearing.
