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.

Judge Leonie Brinkema set a hearing for June 12 to hear arguments over whether she should issue a more lasting pause on the government’s efforts to set up the fund, which is being challenged by a diverse coalition of individuals & entities who say they have faced partisan attacks by the #Trump admin but who say they expect to be excluded from accessing the fund.

Brinkema’s order came in connection with a lawsuit filed by Andrew Floyd, a fmr DC federal prosecutor who was fired last year after working on cases stemming from the #Jan6, 2021, #insurrection. Other plaintiffs in the case include a man who was arrested in California at a protest of an immigration raid; the city of New Haven, Connecticut; the National Abortion Federation; & the liberal advocacy group Common Cause.

#Senate #Republicans, unhappy with #Trump $1.8B settlement #SlushFund, delay a vote on paying for #immigration enforcement

Senate Republicans appeared increasingly unlikely to meet their self-imposed deadline for passing a ~$70 billion immigration enforcement bill as disputes over “security” funding for the Trump #ballroom & the $1.8 billion #MAGASlushFund derailed progress.

2 officers who defended the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, sued the Trump admin to try to stop the creation of a $1.8 bn fund they argue would benefit #insurgents who committed violence to support Trump.

Speaker #CosplayColbert tells black #Democrats furious over Red States rushing to #gerrymander their districts in the wake of the #SCotUS decision to functionally obliterate the 1965 #VotingRightsAct:

"You don't just blow up the system when you lose."

Seriously? How ANY #Republican can say that with a straight face shows a mindboggling lack of self-awareness! 🤬

#Jan6 #January6 #Insurrection #GOPHypocrisy


Sen Bill Cassidy’s defeat in Saturday’s #Republican #primary in #Louisiana will be covered as evidence of Trump’s grip over the party. #BillCassidy voted to convict #Trump after his second #impeachment following #Jan6, 2021, & this was payback.

At the same time, Cassidy’s third-place finish highlights another unfortunate trend in #US politics: the decline of open primaries across the country.
