#magaslushfund — Public Fediverse posts

#ToddBlanche, the acting US #AG, confirmed in writing [1 unsigned] on Sunday night that the #DOJ would abandon “elements” of the deal it struck with #Trump to “resolve” his lawsuit against the #IRS, conceding to demands from Republican senators who had threatened to block his nomination as attorney general.

“In abdicating its responsibility to zealously defend the interests of the United States, the #Government entered into a ‘settlement’ that deviated from its litigation posture in similar actions, disregarded #DOJ policies, & accomplished objectives beyond those authorized, as well as those specifically prohibited, by #law,” Williams wrote.

Williams’ 56-page opinion blasted the behavior of both the #DOJ — stating that the admin’s response to the case disregarded DOJ policies & potentially the #law — & of the private attorneys who brought the lawsuit on #Trump’s behalf.

US judge voids Trump's settlement with IRS

A US judge on Monday voided #Trump's [totally illegal] #settlement with the #IRS ‌that gave him & his companies sweeping #tax protections & initially set up a nearly $1.8 billion government ​#SlushFund to pay victims of so-called ​government weaponization.

Yes!

Federal judge indefinitely blocks Trump’s $1.8 billion payout #SlushFund

US District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema said the government has not provided “absolute certainty” it won’t try to resurrect the fund in the future.

#Republicans cleared the last major hurdle overnight when they defeated an amendment proposed by one of their own members, Louisiana Sen. #BillCassidy, that would have redirected payments from the settlement to members of law enforcement who were injured when a mob of #Trump supporters seeking to overturn his 2020 presidential election loss attacked the Capitol on #Jan6, 2021.

#Impotent #Senate OKs $70B #immigration bill after rejecting efforts to permanently ban #Trump #SlushFund

The Senate passed legislation to fund Trump’s immigration enforcement agencies early Friday, after weeks of delays & fierce backlash to an unrelated $1.776 billion settlement fund that threatened to derail the bill.

#Republicans appear to be in a holding pattern while they figure out how to address the issue of the $1.8 billion #SlushFund. We are still waiting on votes from 3 Republicans: #BillCassidy of Louisiana, #JonHusted of Ohio & #DanSullivan of Alaska.

Husted & Sullivan are both up for re-election. Cassidy recenty lost his primary to a Trump-backed challenger.

Senator #SusanCollins, Republican of Maine, just voted for Schumer’s motion, the first #Republican to vote “yes.”

This motion can still fail if three Republicans vote for it, if everyone is voting. Collins is up for re-election in a critical & competitive state.

Senator #ThomTillis, who voted no, is not running for re-election.

When declining to commit to permanently scrapping the controversial $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" #MAGASlushFund, #Trump claims he doesn’t know if the $1.8 billion fund is dead, & calls it ‘a beautiful thing’

During the #House #Appropriations Committee hearing on Tuesday, #Democrats repeatedly requested that #ToddBlanche commit in writing to rescinding the order creating the weaponization #SlushFund.

“I’m not committing to putting anything in writing,” he said, saying only that he would abide by his word.

Don’t take the bait. As soon as #Republicans pass the $72 billion bill to fund #ICE & #CBP operations, #Trump will restart the #MAGASlushFund. He cannot be trusted. Learn already!

“Trump administration signals to GOP leaders it will drop a $1.8 billion ‘anti-weaponization’ fund, but the president has yet to weigh in publicly”

She also noted that only #ToddBlanche signed the tax audit provision. The separate, 9-page agreement laying out the $1.8 billion #SlushFund was signed by Woodward & Frank Bisignano, who is serving as the “chief executive officer of the #IRS”, a newly created role [created by the #Trump admin in October 2025] that is not subject to #Senate confirmation.

Lawyers for the fmr #judges hailed Judge Williams’s decision.

“The judges & their counsel greatly appreciate the seriousness with which the #court is addressing these grievous allegations,” said Norman Eisen, who represented the fmr judges for the nonprofit group, Democracy Defenders Fund. “We stand ready to work with the court as it investigates this matter.”

Judge Williams pointed to reporting by NYT that described how the #IRS had prepared a 25-pg memorandum outlining defenses against the suit that the #DOJ did not take up in court.

After #Trump “withdrew” the suit, senior #DOJ officials released a pair of extraordinary agreements that settled the case by establishing a $1.8 billion #SlushFund to compensate people who claimed they were victims of government “weaponization” by Democrats.

The deal also conferred extremely lucrative tax benefits on Trump, his family & his businesses.

The former #judges argued that #Trump & the #FederalGovernment is improperly using the IRS lawsuit “to allow a ‘commission’ controlled by the President to dole out $1.776 billion in taxpayer dollars without constitutional or congressional authority” & to obtain “unlawful private benefits to the President & his family” by barring any #audits of prior #taxes.

The fmr #judges asked the #court to utilize a rule that would allow Williams to set aside the judgment & reopen the case for a “judicial review of the extraordinary — & historically unprecedented — circumstances presented by this litigation & by the collusive ‘settlement’ that invokes this litigation as the legal justification for its terms.”

After the plaintiffs asked to voluntarily “drop” the lawsuit, Williams dismissed & closed the case, noting that there was “no settlement of record.” Trump’s attorneys said in a court filing that they did not believe their deal with the #IRS required #judicial approval.

A group of retired federal #judges is asking a #US district #court judge to reopen a lawsuit #Trump & his family pursued against the #IRS over leaked tax records, asking the court to investigate whether an unusual deal to end the case was an act of #fraud.

The retired judges’ filing marks the latest effort to block a deal that is expected to benefit Trump, his family & his allies.

"US Secret Service says Nasire Best, 21, of Maryland, who its officers fatally shot yesterday near the White House, had claimed he was Jesus Christ and the real Osama bin Laden..."

So

A known crazy guy then?

Putting a dozen live rounds into him is sure a helluva lot cheaper than getting him any help

And popping a few caps into some nutcase is cheaper than the #SecretService's daily dose of #Viagra for sure

ho hum...

Except for mention that that this was the assailant's second contact with #SecretService, and that the assailant was convinced he was #JesusChrist

That's how it is in these #UnitedStates

Shoot the crazy people

Killing them with a dozen rounds is a helluva lot cheaper than helping them

“The unlawfulness that has imbued the Anti-Weaponization Fund from its inception requires that it be wholly dismantled,” the suit says.

Another advocacy group, Citizens for Responsibility & Ethics in Washington [#CREW], separately filed its own lawsuit on Friday in Washington, DC, to challenge the “#SlushFund ” created by #Trump’s “sham settlement.” CREW’s suit refers to the fund as “a jaw-dropping act of presidential #corruption.”

Ex-prosecutor & other “#Trump critics” [sane humans who believe in the #law] sue to block payouts from $1.8B 'anti-weaponization' #SlushFund

A coalition of “Trump’s critics”, including a fired prosecutor & a college professor acquitted of assaulting federal agents at a protest, sued Friday to block payouts from the $1.776 billion “settlement” fund for Trump allies claiming to be victims of a weaponized government.

@Nonilex

"nearly $1.8 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund""

You mean the $1,776,000,000 "Anti-Weaponization Fund"?

1776?

Get it?

Ring any bells?

To be paid out to True American Patriots by Donald Trump?

That "fund"?

Every part of this farce is an affront to the #Constitution. It usurps both the exclusive #power of #Congress to legislate programs & spend money & the power of the #courts to decide specific cases & controversies.

It is, quite simply, a scam.
