The crowd included #tech & #media #billionaires #MarkZuckerberg & #DavidEllison. Sen #JohnThune (R-SD), the majority leader, was there, as was Sen #TedCruz (R-TX). The secretaries of #state, #Treasury, #defense, #commerce & #HomelandSecurity were there. So was the VP, the #FBI “director” & Karoline Leavitt, the #WhiteHouse #press Secy, who is on maternity. Kid Rock showed up, & so did Roger Clemens & Robert Kraft. James Dolan, the owner of the NY #Knicks, walked up to #Trump to pay his respects.

The Guardian | Trump reportedly mulling retreat from $1.8bn ‘anti-weaponization’ fund by George Chidi and Roque Planas

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Donald Trump is reportedly reconsidering whether to continue pursuing a $1.8 billion "anti‑weaponization" fund meant to compensate allies after a court‑ordered pause by the Justice Department; the fund, announced as part of a settlement in Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS, has sparked fierce political backlash, with Republicans warning of a lack of oversight and the potential to pay participants in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, while Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, have denounced it as the president’s most brazen act of self‑dealing and vowed to force a vote to block payments, preserve records, and hold hearings. Legal challenges have already temporarily blocked disbursements after a lawsuit by Democracy Forward, and figures such as Senate Majority Leader John Thune and former Vice President Mike Pence have urged the administration to shut the fund down, with several states proposing taxes on any distributions.

The way the system is supposed to work is that if a US President is clearly corrupt and committing 'high crimes and misdemeanors' and repeatedly failing to uphold his Oath to the Constitution, then Congress is supposed to step in and put a stop to it.

So at this point in the #Trump administration, these two spineless enablers are responsible for allowing the blatant #Fraud, #Waste, and #Abuse to continue.

Congress do your job!!!
