Drama in House Judiciary Cmte Democrats moved to subpoena Todd Blanche over the Trump $1.7 billion slush fund Republicans had to buy time & scramble to get more Republicans into the room to narrowly defeat subpoena 18-to-17 Heavy lift for GOP to stop early battle over fund

We still haven’t had a real hearing on the rise of white supremacist violence, the lives lost, or the extremist groups empowered by dangerous Republican rhetoric. But somehow, Republicans found time to hold a hearing claiming the Southern Poverty Law Center is “manufacturing hate.” Meanwhile, they’re defending an almost $2 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund that could put money in the pockets of January 6 extremists — including people tied to white supremacist groups that attacked our democracy. Y’all can miss me with the performative outrage.

Sen. KLOBUCHAR: Do you agree with a judge’s ruling that the Constitution doesn’t grant the President any specific powers over elections? Trump nominee: I can’t comment. Klobuchar: You signed this brief.

Senate Democrats are trying to stop Trump from using $1.8 billion of your tax dollars to give handouts to his allies, but Republicans voted to let it happen.

Arlington ranks #7 nationwide in the @tpl_org 2026 ParkScore® Index based on strong measurements for acreage, access, investment, amenities, and equity among the 100 largest US cities. 99% of Arlington residents live within a 10-minute walk of a park. Way to lead, Arlington! @arlingtonva

Sen. BOOKER: Shouldn’t we ask what your financial tie is to Trump? Trump nominee: My firm has revenues of almost $2 billion. It’s a small amount. Booker: To you. To the average American, it’s $400,000. This is a president with personal lawyers all over his administration.

NEW: Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) offered amendment to block Trump’s newly-established $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded pot of money from "making any payments to convicted child predators" Multiple pardoned Jan 6 rioters have been accused of child abuse Amendment was blocked

You previously told me that anyone who assaulted a police officer on January 6th should go to prison. So why not rule out giving them taxpayer funded money? Vance: "Well, Kaitlan, what I said is we're going to look at everything case by case..." Why not rule it out? Vance: "Because, Kaitlan, there are people who I don't know their individual circumstances and I don't rule things out categorically when I know nothing about a person's individual circumstances..."

Yesterday, Trump announced a $1.8 BILLION taxpayer funded slush fund for his allies & friends. Today, I asked acting AG Blanche if Jan 6 rioters who assaulted police & committed violent crimes, would be eligible for payouts. He couldn't say no.

BREAKING NEWS: even more corruption from this administration. While your costs rise, they’re creating slush funds and avoiding taxes.

While Pete Hegseth campaigns to destroy Thomas Massie, Trump will hand $1.8 billion of your tax dollars to the January 6th insurrectionists. I break down how Trump's family has cashed in on their corruption while Americans have been cashed out. youtu.be/72ZPCQ6ICA4

@HQNewsNow don't you worry - they will find a way to defend and rally around. they are all spineless

Republican Senator Thune can't seem to defend Trump's $1.8B slush fund: "There are and will continue to be a lot of questions around that that the administration is going to have to answer."

@HQNewsNow This ADMINISTRATION Reeks of Corruption. They are going to Bankrupt America. Unacceptable.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Hakeem Jeffries just slammed MAGA Republicans making clear Democrats will break their spirit this November. Let’s go.

"Theft of our tax dollars" Former Justice Dept official Liz Oyer warns... we'll never know who gets how much of our taxpayer $$ from Trump's proposed $1.776 billion fund for criminal convicts

The Trump administration has ordered an NIH facility studying Ebola to halt all research. An ongoing Ebola outbreak was just declared an international emergency.

Donald Trump now wants a $1.7 BILLION slush fund to pay the January 6 insurrectionists and his MAGA allies. This is an incredible level of corruption that YOU, the taxpayer, would be paying for.

BREAKING: It's against the law for Trump to sue himself--& then settle for a huge sum The court has the power to put a stop to these shenanigans & should do so @mattplatkin & @DDAction_ are proud to rep over 90 members of Congress in filing a brief fighting back

This. is. Taxpayer. Money
