Trump has now agreed to a settlement with an IRS commissioner he can fire and an acting attorney general who wants a nomination to drop his $10 billion lawsuit in exchange for a $1.7 billion slush fund to "compensate" the henchmen who committed crimes for his benefit. This could include the nearly 1,600 people charged with attacking the Capitol to overturn the results of the election on January 6th.
This is a theft from the American taxpayers, playing out right in the open. The White House is going to use our money to pay off himself and the thugs who committed political violence on his behalf. There will certainly be legal challenges ahead, but as Rep. Jamie Raskin has pointed out Congress has power over spending, which means they can stop it from going forward... and if they don't, it's because their members/leadership are making a choice to allow it. 🗣️ Let’s reach out to our reps and demand they prevent a single penny of our money from being used for Trump’s slump fund.

Jamie Ager, a fourth-generation West North Carolina farmer and the Democratic nominee for the Eleventh Congressional District, is kicking off weekly Tuesday evening phonebanks tonight at 5PM! Ager is running hard on addressing the federal government’s shortfalls in Hurricane Helene recovery, the affordability crisis and taking on corruption.
Ager is running in an R+5 district that was already on the radar before we learned incumbent Republican Chuck Edwards was under Ethics Committee investigation over accusations of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. There have been allegations that the congressman had an affair with a then-staffer, in direct violation of House rules, and that he singled out two young, female staffers for inappropriate attention. ☎️ Let’s help take down this creep. We can sign up for phonebanks tonight and on Tuesdays to come here. ☎️
MAKE CALLS FOR JAMIE AGER TUESDAYS
I don't believe it will happen. I believe the money will land on his desk, and like every other time he's had his little fist around a dollar or two, he'll stuff it in his pocket.
Remember all the money that had already been approved and allocated by Congress that he decided not to pass on? Remember all those lawsuits against media, law firms, universities, even his own DOJ, that he said he would pass the money to charity? Remember those Venezuelan oil tankers he used the military to pirate and sold the oil on the world market? Remember the "Board of Peace" money? Remember the money donated by billionaires for the ballroom?
All gone into donnies bank accounts in Qatar away from any oversight or scrutiny. This is where he'll run to when the jig is up.
