The quickest way to stop Trump’s corrupt insurrectionist slush fund is for Republicans to stand up for themselves for once and stop it.
We hear them expressing their discomfort behind closed doors or anonymously in the media. But it’s time for them to put their money where their mouths are.

Today in Vermont and across our country, we honor the countless brave Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our nation and secure our freedom.
Wishing you a very meaningful Memorial Day.
In case you missed it, Trump’s been buying and selling HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS in stocks while your costs are through the roof. These are companies whose executives he just brought to China.
Absolutely stunning corruption each and every day. Americans deserve better.
It’s a gloomy day here in Vermont but I’m reflecting on some signs of hope from this past week in DC.
They’re small, too late, and not enough, but they represent things we can build off of in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
I’m sick and tired of watching my constituents struggle to make ends meet.
We need to build a future where folks can actually afford to live in this country.
Another week of Trump not caring how his economy is impacting you while doing everything he can to enrich himself and his friends.
In Vermont, we know that bad trade policy has real consequences for working people.
For too long, corporate-written trade deals have squeezed us and now Trump’s reckless tariff regime has hurt us economically and reputationally.
New album just dropped.
I didn’t agree with Director Gabbard on just about any policy position. I won’t miss her in this role. But I still feel compassion for her and her husband as they battle his cancer together. F*ck cancer.
This is a particularly challenging moment for so many people, including those of us in the LGBTQ+ community.
Even as some try to denigrate my life and the lives of people I love, I’ve never been more motivated to use every single tool that I have to fight for all Americans.
Artists, creators, and anyone on the internet must have the basic right to control digital replicas of their own voice and image. Given how fast AI is moving, we need protections in place now.
I'm proud to be leading the NO FAKES Act to get this done.
@barbmcquade.bsky.social hit the nail on the head with this one… Donald Trump found his new Roy Cohn and it’s Todd Blanche.
From covering up the Epstein files and getting Ghislaine Maxwell moved to “club fed” to this slush fund for Trump’s foot soldiers, Blanche is at the center of it all.
Future generations will ask us where we stood, what we said, what we did when we had these platforms. They will ask us if we bowed down to a tyrant, to a bigot, to a man who spreads hate.
I know where I stand.
This corrupt slush fund Trump created to give payouts to his allies, including the violent attackers who beat police officers on January 6th, isn’t a settlement. It’s theft.
Yes, this settlement is complete and total madness. And these people won’t be able to escape accountability forever.

Lawmakers also said they would try to block the taxpayer-backed fund created to compensate people who claim to be targets of a "weaponized" justice system.
In an interview, Rep. Becca Balint (D-Vermont), the No. 2 Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, noted one of the strongest tools Democrats have right now against the fund is “reminding any member of this administration [that] just because eventually Trump will leave office [it] does not mean that they themselves will not be held accountable for any wrongdoing.”
“This settlement on its face looks completely like collusion,” she said. “Just to be really clear, this is complete and total madness.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did%3Aplc%3Aa4vpio4bg7nnvmwolyyw5t72/bafkreiaideaopf4pt7ll374vuxbuj2kycpor3lfvoyr7kofxytsby5effe@jpeg)
Wanted to bring you some good news: the House overwhelmingly passed a major housing bill yesterday.
Expanding access to affordable housing for Vermonters is one of my top priorities in Congress. This bill would be a good step in the right direction.
Americans can't afford their daily lives right now.
And what are Donald Trump and Republicans doing? Trying to give ICE and CBP $70 billion and build a gilded ballroom.
This morning, House and Senate Democrats stood together in opposition to this awful budget.
In just 11 days, a movement came together to oust Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzalez for their predatory behavior.
It didn't happen because the system worked - it didn't work. It happened because a group of strong women got together to make change when the system didn't.
Rather than working to solve real problems like affordability or the war in Iran, Republicans are once again going back to the same old playbook of harassing trans kids.
They want to give the admin power to slash funding for public schools that THEY decide are advancing ‘gender ideology.’

So…Republicans are attacking trans kids to “protect women” while blocking our nation’s first-ever Smithsonian dedicated to Women’s history?
Make it make sense. @balint.house.gov
