Democrats vow to shut down Trump’s $1.8B ‘anti-weaponization’ fund in the Senate
TL;DR Summary
Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, vow to block the $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund tied to a Trump settlement, using budget-reconciliation tactics to force votes and spotlight GOP positions; three Democrats introduced the Drain the Slush Fund Act to bar payments to Trump and allies, though stopping the fund entirely in the Senate is unlikely, a move that would still pressure Republicans ahead of the midterms.
