#Trump added that he would keep #ToddBlanche as acting #US #AG if his nomination to run the #DOJ fails in the #Senate, & blasted 2 #GOP senators who blocked Blanche.
It was not immediately clear what legislation Trump was referencing, & the White House did not respond to questions about Trump’s post. Sen. #ThomTillis (R-NC), one of the senators who had held up Blanche’s nomination over the #SlushFund, quickly criticized Trump’s comments.

Crap. Now #Trump is saying he’ll just wait until #JohnCornyn & #ThomTillis leave the #Senate, & then he’ll re-nominate #ToddBlanche.
Trump suggested Thursday that he could withdraw Blanche’s nomination to become attorney general until next year, as a standoff continues with the 2 Republican senators who are demanding concessions from the admin before supporting Blanche.

#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.

The Senate is at a standstill over the #SlushFund.
#ThomTillis said that he & other #Republicans were pursuing multiple efforts to use the #immigration bill to permanently block #Trump’s $1.8 billion fund without sending the bill back to committee, which #Democrats’ proposal would do.
Tillis said he was “working on some other amendments that, hopefully, we can get consensus on, that will get the fund out,” while still allowing the larger immigration bill to move forward.

#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 #ThomTillis, Republican of North Carolina, who is introducing his own amendment to ban the $1.8 billion payout #SlushFund, just voted “no” on Schumer’s motion. That’s because Schumer’s motion would send the underlying #immigration bill, which Tillis supports, back to committee. It is an indication that this motion may not garner any Republican support, even though many #Republicans also want to codify into #law a ban on the fund.
-
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.
[okay, so obvious bullshit]

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.

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.

>150 officers were injured during the violence. Some were hit in the head with baseball bats, flagpoles & pipes. One lost consciousness after rioters used a metal barrier to push her down as they marched to the building.

"Trump gets his Board of Peace, even as bigger countries steer clear. America’s traditional allies are taking a backseat on the effort ... Trump, who has three years remaining in his final term, has appointed himself the board’s lifelong chairman, giving himself the unilateral authority to veto decisions, approve the agenda, and select his own successor":
