Stop Trump's $1.8B Political Slush Fund
Dodging judicial oversight, the Trump administration has dropped its dubious lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and directed the Department of Justice (DOJ) to create a $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization" compensation fund for so-called political victims of the Biden administration. This pool of money is in fact an illegal and nakedly corrupt slush fund that will funnel taxpayer money to Trump’s political allies, including the violent insurrectionists who assaulted the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Acting Attorney General and enthusiastic Trump lackey Todd Blanche will appoint the five individuals responsible for doling out these stolen funds.
The creation of this slush fund is yet another act of breathtaking corruption to enrich Trump and his supporters amid an ongoing affordability crisis caused by the president’s incompetence and apathy. House Democrats are poised to force a vote on legislation to block the use of the fund, and even some Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune, have questioned the fund’s legality.
Congress must do everything they can to prevent this blatant theft of taxpayer dollars to pay off Trump’s cronies. Urge your representatives to immediately act to block this unprecedented fraud.

I’m calling to urge [REP/SEN NAME] to support legislation to block the creation of a $1.8 billion slush fund for Trump’s political allies. This fund is blatantly corrupt and will funnel taxpayer dollars to convicted criminals and insurrectionists at the expense of the American public.
[OPTIONAL]: I also ask that [REP/SEN NAME] move to impeach Trump for repeatedly defying the law and abusing the power of the presidency to enrich himself and his allies.
