Democrats are promising a vote to end what they \u200bcall a &#8220;slush fund&#8221; for Trump&#8217;s allies, in a bid to force Republicans to openly defy a president who has \u200bended the political careers of prominent lawmakers in recent weeks.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;The first Democratic amendment of vote-a-rama will \u2060force every senator to answer a basic question: should taxpayer dollars fund Trump&#8217;s slush fund, or should \u200bit be eliminated once and for all?&#8221; Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer&#8217;s office said in a statement.<\/div>\n<div>The fund, \u200bwhich critics say would allow Trump to use taxpayer dollars to compensate his political allies, has already been put on hold by the White House and Justice Department over fierce opposition from Senate Republicans.<\/div>\n<div>Democrats hope that their legislative onslaught will undermine Republicans in \u200bthe November midterm elections, in which Democrats are favored to take control of the House of Representatives \u200band could also capture the Senate.<\/div>\n<div>But it was not clear that Republicans would take the bait and vote for the Democratic amendment, \u200cwhich \u2060would pass with a simple majority of 51 votes but also derail the bill providing three years of funding for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol.<\/div>\n<div>Republican Senators Thom Tillis and Bill Cassidy, who lost his reelection bid to a Trump-backed challenger last month, are also hoping to bring amendments to end the fund.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI \u200bdon&#8217;t want to join \u200bwith some Democratic initiative, \u2060I want this to be led by Republicans for Republicans,\u201d Tillis told reporters. \u201cWe&#8217;ve got a sufficient number of Republicans who have been very clear that they&#8217;ve got \u200bconcerns here.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Cassidy has also proposed an amendment to nullify an agreement preventing the \u200bInternal Revenue \u2060Service from auditing Trump&#8217;s tax returns.<\/div>\n<div>A number of recent actions by Trump, from seeking $1 billion in taxpayer funding for his White House ballroom and security upgrades to his decision to name political ally Bill Pulte as U.S. intelligence \u2060chief, have prompted \u200bopen criticism from some Republicans.<\/div>\n<div>Democrats are readying a slew of other \u200bamendments that would force Republicans to vote on IRS tax protection, the Iran war, Trump&#8217;s tariffs and actions by immigration enforcement officials, \u200bincluding the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens earlier this year.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=984\">Several injured in Boeing 787 nose-gear collapse in Frankfurt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=982\">Broadcom set to shed $300 billion in value as AI results fail to impress<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=979\">Amazon unveils new AI warehouse robot in $12 billion Europe push<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Senate Republicans will have to grapple with the ultimate fate of President Donald Trump&#8217;s \u200csidelined $1.8 billion &#8220;anti-weaponization&#8221;
