Trump on Saturday threatened to “push hard” to keep a $1.8 billion
“anti-weaponization” slush fund active, amid an ongoing feud between two Republican senators and the Trump administration over the felon-president’s nomination of Todd Blanche for attorney general.
Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Thom Tillis, R-N.C., are both departing Congress after feuding with Trump.

An army of attorneys is rallying to free hundreds of children from immigration custody,
where they have been stranded indefinitely by the Trump administration without their parents or loved ones, the Guardian can reveal.
