Senate Republicans stall Todd Blanche confirmation over $1.8B slush fund
I was wondering if anyone was keeping a running total on Trump’s waste and abuse. You have to check out this video. And there’s so much, I bet you forgot about some of it: 💰Ballroom: $1 billion project, taxpayers already on the hook for $300 mill 💰 J6 Slush Fund: $1.776 billion for his rioters 🧵
There’s more… 💰 Reflecting Pool: $16+ million to renovate 💰 Argentina Bailout: $20 billion 💰 DHS Waste: $172 million for private jets, plus $220 million for a Kristi Noem ad campaign 💰 Mass Deportation: $240 billion for ICE detention & deportation 2/3
I had forgotten about his first birthday party 🤣
You totally missed the gift jet
Doubling the US military budget!!!!
Destroying is infinitely easier that rebuilding, and Trump has been very successful at destroying so much, so quickly. If Americans were dissatisfied with the government's ability to function before Trump, they are going to be mortified to witness what comes next.
The 250 celebration is now costing taxpayers after donors bail out
I had truly forgotten about the felons first birthday party he threw for himself probably because so little mattered to show up! 🤣🚨
The list is vast but here are some of the highlights. I would also add the Saudi jet Meanwhile since he’s been back in office he’s grown $1.4 billion in wealth that’s visible Pay for play pardons… Who knows where that money goes. Real estate deals for the family, gov contracts   
“Is nobody in Washington motivated by spite anymore?” @jvl.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social tear into Republican senators looking for the flimsiest possible assurance on Trump’s weaponization slush fund so they can confirm Todd Blanche and move on.

If they act in spite they won't get asked to go on FOX, CBS, OAN or any of the other conservative outlets. They only speak out when they have no plans to continue in politics - like Cheney or Romney.
Nothing else bothers Republicans about Blanche!
They’re more interested in the money they can make once their “public service” time is up. Podcasts, Fox News appearances, lobbying, insider trading. All those opportunities will vanish if they buck the would-be King.
BREAKING: Todd Blanche has been ordered to be in Judge Sullivan’s court by 3 PM today with the unredacted Epstein files. Will he obey the order? Well, will he? Thoughts?! 😎✨
He knows he doesn't have to obey order as there's no federal law enforcement that hasn't been corrupted by Repubs party. I don't know if people understand the depths of the danger we're in. There is no one to enforce federal law & even if we win Congress, we will NOT be able to accomplish anything.
No, he won't. He hasn't done what the judge requested.
