IDK, for me, the idea that the DOJ would abide by a judge's order to halt the fund is an immediate red flag. When not appealing decisions like these, they usually just violate them anyway. Very "sus," as the kids say.

Thank you PI for emphasizing what the MSM is not. Watch your back!

All I watch is MSNOW (and tennis, and last night's KNICKS vs SPURS) and I knew every bit of what Noelle and Rebecca reported. I was waiting to add my two extra cents, and didn't need to--had watched and heard every detail.

The more I read about this subject, the more I believe the real purpose of this whole endeavor is to give Trump his Tax Immunity "Get out of Jail Free Card." The bright shiny object waived around ($1776B) is nothing more than a distraction from the real prize - the Tax Addendum. We knew it the moment it was filed - quietly, almost as an afterthought - following the Agreement notification. We also know by now, or at least should, that Trump's concern about awarding sycophants' money is not part of his character. He could care less if the "slush fund" is thwarted. He doesn't benefit from it. He (and his family) benefits from the Tax Immunity Addendum, perhaps indefinitely, and that is the real goal. It really concerns me that the media gives just passing attention to it.

As I just said above, I guess I learn about what concerns you (and me) on MSNOW throughout the day even though I'm attending to a number of other items.

Whether it's the slush fund or Twump's feet, something has died and boy does it smell bad.

I don't get those lazy headlines. What would it have taken to add "refuses to commit to that in writing" after "Blanche says"...? And the audit immunity is still on a whole new level of sh!Thole country corruption

People complain about the Lib’rul Media, but I prefer the term Limited Media, as in they’re a bunch of generalists who don’t know how to verify claims and call b.s. in situations like these.

The Limited Media have struggled with Trump for the last decade and somehow haven’t upped their game much.

The Limited Media. Tracks for me and that turn of phrase is quite clever. Mind if I borrow this?

I really appreciate your monitoring of the US media for it enables me to avoid wasting time doing so. We can be sure that the Trump regime will leave no stone unturned in its quest for money and power.

Major News-break! “We won’t get fooled again!” Who? Them…

Politico, — headline, “‘Anti-Weaponization Fund’ is dead, acting AG says.” Washington Post, “Trump administration abandons $1.8 billion payout fund after revolt by GOP.” The Wall Street Journal —Trump administration was “abandoning” the fund. Associated Press, TIME, and Guardian —headlines claiming the fund was scrapped, —Forbes, CNBC, NOTUS —headlines stating that Blanche said that the fund was “dead.”
