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.

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 Obamacare subsidy fight exposes who Washington really serves

Republicans have a mess on their hands over health care subsidies – Axios

Republicans have a mess on their hands over health care subsidies – By Stef W. Kight,Kate Santaliz, and Hans Nichols

Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson are both considering votes on GOP health care priorities next week — if they can figure out what those priorities are.

Why it matters: Democrats are unified in their demand for a three-year extension of Affordable Care Act’s enhanced subsidies, which expire Dec. 31. Republicans are still divided and debating their counter offers.

• Johnson (R-La.) has said he hopes to reveal a House GOP health care package early next week, though some sources are skeptical that will happen.
• Thune (R-S.D.) has promised Democrats a vote on their health care bill next week. But his conference is still in the idea stage on their counters, which are more likely to come as amendment or unanimous consent votes rather than a single broader GOP package.

Between the lines: Don’t expect any health care package to pass next week.

• The real question is whether the voting exercise in the Senate and maybe the House fuels ongoing bipartisan dealmaking — or hampers it.

Zoom in: Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) is circulating a plan that would extend the expiring subsidies — but with a $200,000 income cap and no zero-dollar premium packages, Semafor’s Burgess Everett reports.

• Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kansas) told Axios he hopes a GOP package will include moving the expiring subsidies into health care savings accounts and adding his bipartisan bill requiring more price transparency.
• Republicans are also again eyeing changes known as cost-sharing reductions, aimed at lowering premiums, but could cut subsidies for some enrollees.
• Multiple senators described the conversations as broad and fluid, with no real consensus this week on any one, single GOP package. And Hyde protections continue to be a sore spot, with some Republicans demanding increased assurances that subsidies aren’t used for abortions.

In the House, Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) has been holding “listening sessions” with committee leaders and rank-and-file Republicans for weeks to find a consensus GOP plan.

• A bipartisan group of 35 centrist lawmakers , led by Reps. Jen Kiggans (R-Va.) and Josh Gottheimer, unveiled a two-year extension of the ACA subsidies Thursday, but it doesn’t have buy in from leadership.
• “We’re going to come up with something that I think even people like Jen would support,” Scalise said Thursday.

• House GOP leaders have also discussed proposals that would not extend the enhanced subsidies, but instead expand Association Health Plans, where employers band together to purchase health coverage for workers.
