Republicans punt on reconciliation amid furious disagreement over 'anti-weaponization' fund

[Quiet Em]

Senate Republicans have cancelled plans to begin voting this week on a budget reconciliation package that would provide approximately $70 billion to fund immigration enforcement operations through 2029 amid a furious disagreement within their conference over the Trump administration’s proposal to establish a $1.8 billion compensation fund for MAGA allies.

Senate Republicans emerging from a lengthy meeting with acting Attorney General To“There will not be a vote today,” Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), an outspoken critic of the proposed legal compensation fund for people who believe they were unfairly investigated or prosecuted by the Biden-era Justice Department.

Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) confirmed that votes are not expected anytime soon on the budget reconciliation package and voiced concern about the prospect that the legal compensation fund could pay out people who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Britt said she didn’t want any people who assaulted Capitol police officers on that day to receive compensation.dd Blanche said they expect to leave Washington for the Memorial Day recess without voting on the budget reconciliation package that has stalled over disagreements among Republicans over how to put guardrails on the so-called anti-weaponization fund.
