A federal judge in Virginia has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from moving ahead with plans to create a nearly $1.8 billion fund to compensate people who it says were wrongly targeted by the government in the past.
The brief order from US District Judge Leonie Brinkema says the administration cannot take any action “pursuant to the creation or operation of the Anti-Weaponization Fund, which includes the transferring of money to the Fund; the consideration of any claims submitted to the Fund; and the disbursing of any funds from the Fund.”
Maybe we can pivot that money to slave and indigenous reparations. Oh, it’s not for that kind of past government harm?
Next on the SCROTUS shadow docket…
It will be such a weird case, too! Stealing taxpayer money from one organization to be used in direct opposition of another? It’s such awful fiscal policy that trying to entertain a defense of it might cause Thomas or Alito to have a stroke lol
I’d say from your lips to God’s ears, but I don’t want Trump appointing another one
I’m pretty sure I remember hearing that the fund was already funded. Hopefully it can be frozen before it leaks into orange shit gibbon’s pockets.
