Stop calling the $1.8 billion an “anti-weaponization fund.” Call it what it is: A bribe to proven domestic terrorists to strike again if needed.

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 3d ago

President Trump said on Saturday that he would revive a proposal for a $1.8 billion so-called anti-weaponization fund that would compensate his supporters if the Senate fails to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general, reigniting a dispute over the settlement.

Taylor Farms' parent company has given $2.2M to GOP PACs this election cycle. That includes $1M to Trump's own PAC, just 6 days after the FDA delayed new food tracing requirements last year. Money in politics is sickening.

🚨 HEADS UP: If you haven't submitted a comment on the OMB proposal yet, there's still time - but it's running out! There are only 13 days left to push back against Russell Vought's attempt to give political appointees unprecedented control over federal research funding. Take Action: zurl.co/VGfwO

Graphic from Stand Up for Science urging action on a federal funding proposal. Large text reads: "13 Days Left" and "Help Us Stop Vought From Destroying American Science." A portrait of Russell Vought appears beside the U.S. Capitol. A banner along the bottom reads: "Submit a comment on the OMB proposal | Link in bio to take action." The Stand Up for Science logo appears in the top left.

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor and still, they threw him out and you know what? they did it by voting don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

I’m annoyed that it’s obvious we’re in phase 1 of this 3-step cycle 1. Republican president tanks economy and gets us involved in a forever war. 2. Democratic president fixes the economy. 3. People get impatient about things not being as good as they used to be so they vote Republican.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.
