Mike Fanone on the anti-weaponization slush fund: "If you pardon violent criminals and then pay violent criminals, you incentivize that behavior. You incentivize future acts of violence committed on behalf of Donald Trump and this administration."
Lost in Trump's temper tantrum walkout from his interview w/ Welker “If it was up to me, I'd pay them the kind of money that they deserve... Lives have been destroyed. Many suicides, think of it,”
Uh, the 4 suicides were police officers.

There is a massive DOJ scandal going on in Illinois right now that national media is ignoring for reasons I think we all understand b/c let me tell you folks, if this shit was going on under Joe Biden, that's all you'd fucking hear about.
Victor Wembanyama going through a security checkpoint due to President Donald Trump being at Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

The biggest story in America is a president who has completely lost touch with reality. Who thinks the FBI let all the January 6 rioters into the Capitol, that he really won the 2020 election, that the Iran War is going well. Who, when occasionally confronted w reality, panics.
50-49: Republicans, by one vote, chose to keep Trump’s insurrectionist slush fund dream alive.

They made their choice.
Another shameful vote from Republicans to send your tax dollars to these criminals.
