Trump's $1.776B Slush Fund Blows Up His Own Agenda: Republican Revolt Derails Immigration Bill
Senate Republicans revolted against Trump's $1.776B "Anti-Weaponization Fund," forcing leaders to delay the $72B immigration enforcement bill past Trump's own June 1 deadline. A two-hour meeting with acting AG Todd Blanche — described as a "shitshow" — failed to calm the rebellion. Sen. Tillis called the fund "a payout pot for punks." Sen. Johnson called it "a galactic blunder." Trump's slush fund to pay Jan. 6 rioters just torpedoed his top legislative priority.
