    #DefenseBudget = #SlushFund
    If we give Trump too much money for defense, he will start more wars after the #IranWar, which was a disaster.

  2. Yes!

  3. #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.

  4. #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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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’

  7. 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]

  8. 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”

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. The lawsuit, filed by fmr Officer #HarryDunn of the US Capitol Police & Officer #DanielHodges of Washington’s Metropolitan Police, alleges that the #Trump admin has created a “slush fund to finance the insurrectionists & paramilitary groups that commit violence in his name.” It names as defendants President Trump as well as acting Attorney General #ToddBlanche & Treasury Secretary #ScottBessent.

    "“Let’s call this what it is: a billion-dollar #SlushFund for Trump to reward #felons, #insurrectionists, & #cronies, paid for by YOUR #TaxpayerDollars,” "

    Necessary edit:

    "“Let’s call this what it is: a billion-dollar #SlushFund for #Trump to pay for Trump's #PrivateMilitia, paid for by YOUR taxpayer dollars”"
