Scott MacFarlane reports that Republican resistance is growing against Trump’s $1.776 billion slush fund.

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick says he is working to kill the proposal through both a formal letter to the Justice Department and possible legislation.

Other Republicans, including Don Bacon, David Schweikert, and Mike Rounds, have publicly raised questions about the legality and structure of the fund, while Lindsey Graham suggested the Senate would closely examine it if it reaches the floor.

ICE guns down two people in Minneapolis, and wounds a third. It terrorized people there, runs concentration camps where people die, runs roughshod over the law, and hides its agents from criminal liability. Trump engages in a senseless war he can’t get out of, endangers the world economy, and destroys the American economy. He destroys the East Wing and announces a ballroom out of scale to anything on the White House grounds, changes plans constantly, and behaves as if he owns all of DC. And the Senate Judiciary Committee tries to give him $1 billion for it. He sues the IRS for $10 billion, then “settles” for a billion dollar slush fund.

And that’s where he gets the attention of Congress. Real attention.

It’s an iron-clad rule of organizations large and small. You can get away with a lot. But you don’t fuck with the money.

Even Lindsey Graham knows that rule.
