Republicans in both the House and Senate are quickly moving to stop the DOJ/IRS settlement with President Trump that establishes a $1.776 billion victim’s compensation fund for those targeted by corrupt government conduct.
The move in the Senate is particularly Machiavellian considering they recently established a $500,000 system of penalties for government conduct after they found out the Jack Smith investigation had subpoenaed their private phone records.
Buried on page 217 of the 2025 Senate Continuing Resolution Bill [TEXT HERE], Republican Senators inserted legislation to “retroactively” pay themselves $500,000 each for every line of communication, telephone record, email or other electronic communication, subpoenaed by the Jack Smith Special Counsel during the Arctic Frost investigation. The targeting of Republican senators was too much for the Republican Senators to bear.
Now consider:
WASHINGTON DC – Senate Republicans have canceled plans to begin voting this week on a budget reconciliation package that would provide approximately $70 billion to fund immigration enforcement operations through 2029 amid a furious disagreement within their conference over the Trump administration’s proposal to establish a $1.8 billion compensation fund for MAGA allies.
Senate Republicans emerging from a lengthy meeting with acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said they expect to leave Washington for the Memorial Day recess without voting on the budget reconciliation package that has stalled over disagreements among Republicans over how to put guardrails on the so-called anti-weaponization fund.

A grandmother silently praying outside an abortion clinic encounters the full weight of the Dept of Justice and FBI costing her tens of thousands of dollars to defend herself. Hundreds of conservatives have been targeted by a politicized and weaponized IRS. Dozens of Trump officials were targeted, prosecuted and spent millions of dollars during their judicial defense – many going bankrupt. Thousands of people who peacefully attended the January 6, 2021, protest were targeted by the FBI and had to hire lawyers. Thousands more received ridiculous subpoenas and investigative inquiries that required them to pay lawyers who provided legal responses.
Yet, only when the weaponization targets a Republican Senator personally does the issue warrant compensation. Think about it.
Additionally, it was only just yesterday when President Trump pointed out to Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich’s that her fiancé, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), was at risk for attention from Trump after voting against Trump all MAGA policy in Congress. Trump warned Ms. Heinrich that typically “doesn’t work out well” for conservative lawmakers.
Fitzpatrick previously voted against Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” last year, making him one of only two GOP lawmakers to do so, along with Rep.Thomas Massie (R-KY). That’s who Trump seemed to be referencing Wednesday morning when he said it doesn’t go “well” for Republicans who oppose him.
Then today:
WASHINGTON DC – A bipartisan House effort is afoot to kill the $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund created by the Justice Department that could pay allies of President Donald Trump, according to three people granted anonymity to discuss the effort ahead of a formal announcement.
Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) and Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.) have drafted text and are taking steps to unveil the legislation soon, the people said. (more)
The Republicans just unveiled the legislation {SEE HERE}.
This is why I have often said, “I fully support Donald Trump because the alternative is to support a republican.”
When the Tea Party surfaced in 2010, the grassroots voter base (unvoiced in DC) did not have a figurehead. So, the UniParty apparatus weaponized the DOJ, IRS and regulatory agencies to target, divide and destroy us.
When the Tea Party reassembled in 2016, the grassroots voter base (unvoiced in DC) now had Donald Trump. So, the same UniParty weaponized the DOJ, FBI and Intelligence Community to target, divide and destroy him first (Spygate, Russiagate, Impeachments etc.), until they could get back to targeting us (Arctic Frost).
The difference between the Tea Party targeting in 2010, and MAGA targeting 2016-through today, is the pesky impediment called Donald Trump.
Review the 15-year history and you will see these commonalities, including DC’s use of Main Justice and the FBI.
The McConnell-minded Republicans were happy to see the Tea Party targeted in 2011/2012. The same is true for the targeting of MAGA in later years.
This core reality is why I support President Trump; indeed, I actually cherish his fighting for us, because the alternative is reliance on our Republican abusers.
In my opinion, the strongest, most based and unflinching MAGA-minded America-First supporters, are the people who bear the visible scars from the extreme Tea Party targeting.
Those of us who went through the furnace of frustration are forged with a unique type of resolve that will never stop supporting Donald Trump.
We can see through the UniParty tricks, schemes and Machiavellian constructs, and we trust nothing.
The DC guards weaponized virtue as an attack strategy. They use our love of country against us. However, one glance at the scars and that approach doesn’t work any longer….
….. and they hate us even more because of that.
That outlook brings me to a place of thankfulness.
I think most of us here realize we have a few years with a political leader in our corner; that means advocacy for our specific interests is on a diminishing timeline.
If we, well, really, he, does not get that thing accomplished in the next three years, well, it’s unlikely to happen. That clock ticking raises the stakes for us and makes policy issues sensitive and urgent. This is an entirely understandable sentiment.
I fully support Donald Trump, because the alternative is dependency on a Republican.
Don’t forget to pray.
My anger at RINOs in the senate takes all my strength and belief in God though our Savior Jesus Christ to keep myself from going mad and going postal on them.
They are absolutely shameless garbage and a waste of oxygen.
Just when I thought I cannot hate RINOs anymore or any less than I already do…I find out that I can.
RINOs hate Christians and they hate America BUT they love money, sex, and drugs. Prove me wrong Uniparty!
I just wrote to the President asking him to change the embarrassment we call the US Senate. With A.I. every email gets read and categorized. Go here to share your thoughts:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/
They are as immune to the title “RINO” as we are to bitter clingers, deplorables, nazis, racists etc.
It’s time to call them what they are, cross dressing demo-communists in republican masks.
There really are no words adequate to describe their perfidy.
We can NOT hate them enough. White, hot anger.
CONgress, a bunch of CONmen and CONwomen ELECTED by We The People, are not representing their constituents. Shut it all down.
And yet we’ll be interceding on election night that they increase in number.
Ironic. Hopefully, the number will include some new MAGA-minded representatives.
My Battered Conservative Symptoms — manic eye twitches and childlike giggles a la Chief Inspector Dreyfus from the Pink Panther movies — has been reactivated.
Mrs. Sunshine, you pulled the thoughts and feeling straight out of me. I could not have said it any better. The absolute loathing and contempt that I have for the entire U.S. Congress is without words to describe it. It is nice to know others feel the same way I do. Have a great day.
Dear Lord, please confuse the plans of the wicked. In Jesus Name, amen!
Amen! Thank you Sundance!
Amen.
It is hard to fathom the number of people in Washington DC, that are against “We the People”, the people who ‘want to be left alone’, to live our lives, as we see fit to do.
St. Thomas More, pray for our politicians.
Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, please pray for us.
Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception was designated ‘the Patroness of the United States’, by the American Catholic Bishops, in 1846, made official by the Pope (Pius IX), in 1847.
I dropped my Republican registration in 2021 after witnessing the unending efforts of the R party to backstop the installation of Joe Biden. They treated him like an old friend and partner. The sickening compliance of the party became too much and I re-registered as an Ind. I can vote in either party’s primary out here so it’s no loss.
I almost wish Mr Scott (long hair and tucked-in cowboy boots) would stop pimping for R registration. It only gets people WinRed donation pitches.
Congressmen already have their snouts buried in the trough, but when they are wronged, it’s a payday!
Yet, when the people are wronged, however and harmed exponentially, “The people stink on ice!”

🚨 NOW: Rep. Tim Burchett just angrily STORMED OUT of a committee meeting saying a backroom deal was cut to let Democrats control what they do!
“We’re going to BLOW IT because we’re not acting like we’re in the majority! [We] allow the Democrats to tell us what to do. It’s just UNBELIEVABLE!”
“At some point we’re going to have to give some guts. This town is crooked as a dog’s leg and I’m disgusted.”
“Had some amendments that were cutting regulation things that we should, as Republicans, do. Because of backroom deals they cut, they won’t allow any amendments on the bill because the Democrats didn’t agree to it! So here we are in the majority and we’re not allowed to do that!”
“And I guarantee you when the Democrats are in the majority, which they very much could be because of this kind of garbage — [they won’t do this].”
“I want to FIGHT.” 🔥
Link? I want to see this please. Thank you.
Retired Magistrate here: I am just glad to have lived long enough to have been around for President Trump’s first presidency, his second presidency in absentia and his third presidency.
Our founders are turning over in their graves over what the Senate and House have turned into; greedy money grabbers who are only concerned about enriching their own pockets. As for the rest of us, well we are definitely on our own except when they seek re election then they are all for us.
Senators and Congressmen are supposed to be our Representatives. Instead, they are our abusers.
This continues to prove that we are in an abusive relationship with our Government.
The abusive domestic relationship shares many concepts with our government…control, private communication surveillance, control of one’s finances, physical surveillance, often, the victims live in fear of ‘what next’…
Compare to this article from 2020:
https://thedailyeconomy.org/article/fifteen-signs-youre-in-an-abusive-relationship-with-the-government/
“Abusers don’t control only through violence. They control through dependency—financial, emotional, psychological “

These damn Republicans are SELFISH! Purely selfish… they do everything for themselves and nothing for We the People. Everything President Trump campaigned on is fought tooth and nail by his own party.
Do these people even know the particulars of the J6 targeting? What these people went through? Some ended up dying because of the hell they were subjected to. Some lost everything.
I am sick of it.
SICK. OF. IT.
Oh, and do they not care about the people STILL working without a damned paycheck???????
DISGUSTING!
I’ve always said….
Democraps are scum ridden SOB’s….
Repugnants are covert scum ridden SOB’s….
The problem with the slow flushing toilet of the primary system are turds (Massie, dipstick from LA, hopefully Cornyn) will be circling the drain for 7 months adding to the dumocrat caucus of the GOP. Mukowski, Collins, Paul plus three will make every bill about the butt hurt kindergarteners need to poke us all in the eye.
Good grief how I wish for grownups in congress but it is not to be.
Why do I have this mental image of Trump telling Thune You want Cornyn, give me SAVE and Thune saying No.
Going to be interesting over the next few months
Target Thune for primary. Thune has no defense he played a desperation move that left him vulnerable.
I believe PDJT can call them back into session and VP Vance can affect this too.
No more nicey nicey….let the base see the bloated bastards in tbe GOP senate.
I agree – Thune is desperately playing for all the marbles but he is quickly discovering that he is NOT Cocaine Mitch and he is not going up against a Bush or a Biden….
However much we hate these people, it is not enough…
Faith in God is warranted. It’s necessary.
Because we’re in bondage to our own Government who’ve taken us over without money or price. Subjugated us with overwhelming taxation, persecuted us with anti God rhetoric, legislation, & judgments. Afflicted us by choosing to not observe our God given & Constitutional rights. Attacked our speech, attacked our thoughts, attacked our self defense, attacked our privacy, & more than can be listed.
Not only is there no redress to Americans, but now those same Leaders who’ve led us into National ruin, not only grant themselves all forms of redress, they make it retroactive to cash in on every violation possible, to the tune of MILLIONS OF TAXPAYER dollars.
This Nation cannot endure in this form. May the God of Heaven, by the sword of His Son, level this wickedness to the ground & all who stand for it, & those who refuse to stand against it. That we may rebuild One Nation, under God, with Liberty & Justice for ALL.
All this is true, and it all needs to be said. The president may not be perfect but he is 10x better than anyone else on the horizon. Duty now for the future!
Dear Lord, Thank you for President Trump, Sundance & Tulsi. Please continue to Bless them and keep them safe and work through their agency to punish evil and help virtue to flourish.
Blessings to All. Amen.
AMEN to that Lisa
Primary Thune when the time comes. No more niceties.
Massie thought he was safe…..howd that work out?
Thune won reelection in 2022 which means he is up again in 2028 – he might want to think about how many people President Trump will be lining up to primary him if he doesn’t get it together NOW!!
Just a little bit of hypocrisy from the same people who routinely arrange large confidential settlements using taxpayer money to buy off victims who accuse them of various sexual improprieties and other misdeeds. The kind of things that they very much want to hide from their voters. What scumbags.
You just can not HATE these scumbags enough
I can try.
Really cannot dislike them enough.
No doubt who is who after this.
Bunch of p*ssie little … I’ll stop here…
Don’t stop on our account. Let er rip. 😎
It’s my understanding this was a negotiated settlement of a lawsuit against the IRS. I don’t understand how Congress can do anything about it.
However, if the government backs out of the agreed settlement then the President should let the original 10 billion dollar lawsuit go forward. He can set up a relief fund himself for those targeted by the government. 10B will go much further than the negotiated 1.7B.
Effin RINOs
I pray that McConnell goes to Hell.
My understanding is that this DOJ settlement does not need Congressional appropriations or approval to proceed. We shall see.
Trump got a lot of people elected in congress then some of those congressmen stabbed Trump in the back. Same with us congressmen need us to vote them into office and everyday after that they hate us.
I am enjoying the pendulum swinging so forcefully the right direction.
Trump should start criticizing the “leaders” of the Senate, including Thune et al. He should stop the pretense that they are actually for the American people. He should publicly lambast them by name and remind them that the American people expect them to fund ICE, control the border, stop the weaponization of gov’t, fund the victims, pass the America Save Act, etc. Time to put maximum public pressure on these corrupt whores.
The aforementioned traitorous republicans are desperate to throw the midterm elections to the Marxist democrats.
A democrat majority in either the house or senate will lead to impeachment proceedings.
These traitorous republicans will join the Marxists and impeach President Trump.
Apparently, these challenged individuals have not been paying attention to what happens when you are disloyal to President Trump. FAFO
A pox on all their houses!
Why would a Washington news organization not accurately report the amount of money agreed to in the settlement?
The amount of money is not 1.8 billion. It is
1.776
billion.
So maybe don’t drop your lawsuit against the IRS for $10B, win that case; and have 5x the amount in a fund for those injured (?).
Every Senator who refuses to support the SAVE ACT, which is supported by 87% of all voters, needs to be recalled
or at minimum, primaried by genuine patriots at the first opportunity. There can be no excuse for denying the will
of the vast majority of Americans, beyond nefarious, self-serving motives. Torches and pitchforks!
