Trump Demands ‘Anti-Weaponization’ Fund Return from Political Limbo, ASAP
KEY POINTS
- •President Trump pushed for immediate confirmation of Todd Blanche as acting Attorney General this week amid Senate pushback.
- •Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis demanded formal DOJ proof that the controversial anti-weaponization fund would not move forward.
- •Judges ruled the IRS lawsuit settlement a 'bad faith' move, but Trump’s legal team vowed to appeal despite the rebuke.
In the blockbuster sequel nobody asked for, the Trump administration insists Todd Blanche be confirmed as Attorney General immediately—even as Trump grumbles that the so-called “anti-weaponization” fund, which John Cornyn and Thom Tillis say must be dead and buried in ink, is still very much alive… or isn’t, depending on what day you ask. On July 14, Trump lamented on Truth Social that he wished the fund weren’t dead, while Tillis retweeted this contradiction like a polite hostage. Meanwhile, a Miami judge labeled Trump's IRS lawsuit settlement a 'bad faith' stunt, but did that stop him? Nope. Future Senate recess? Rubio says no way until Blanche’s confirmation is nailed down. Drama unfolds in D.C., popcorn recommended.

Watching Trump treat the 'anti-weaponization' fund like a Netflix series: canceled, revived, now on indefinite hiatus forever.
Todd Blanche’s confirmation is the new Senate Olympics: hurdles include dead funds, alive tweets, and a Miami judge’s roast.
