Alexandria, VA - So, get this: some deep-state apparatchik in a black robe just jammed up President Trump's 'Anti-Weaponization Fund.' Yeah, the one designed to give a little payback to normies screwed over by the DOJ's political witch hunts. Judge Leonie Brinkema, who probably has a 'Resist' bumper sticker on her Prius, decided to throw a wrench in the gears, citing a lawsuit from a bunch of crybabies, including a dude who got canned for his totally sus handling of January 6th cases.

This 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' was supposed to be the ultimate 'sorry, not sorry' to all the patriots the Left tried to memory-hole. It’s $1.778 billion of pure, unadulterated 'get wrecked, libtards' energy, aimed at helping folks whose lives were ruined by politically motivated investigations. Now? Stuck in legal limbo thanks to some social justice warrior in a judicial gown.

Brinkema's order basically says, 'Hold up, no refunds for the based,' freezing the money, the claim processing, and everything else. So much for compensating the victims of woke overreach. Guess they'll just have to keep fighting the good fight on their own dime, while the Deep State keeps raking in the dough.

Leading the charge against this righteous fund is none other than former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Floyd, a dude who was apparently too based for the swamp. He got the boot after poking around the January 6th 'mostly peaceful protest,' and now he's playing the victim card. Give me a break.

Then there's Jonathan Caravello, a professor who apparently thinks chucking tear gas at feds is a valid form of protest. And let's not forget Common Cause, New Haven, and the National Abortion Federation – the usual suspects of the grievance industry, always ready to cash in on some manufactured outrage.

The NAF is whining that the fund might pay out to people who attacked abortion clinics. Newsflash: Maybe don't perform medically unnecessary procedures and people won't have such strong feelings about your business practices.

This whole fiasco started because Trump slapped the IRS for leaking his tax returns. Now that settlement's supposed to help undo some of the damage from the Left's lawfare. Of course, the Left can't have that, so they're throwing every legal Hail Mary they can think of.

The fund is supposed to be run by a five-person board appointed by the Attorney General, with some fake gesture towards congressional input. But even that's too much for the perpetually outraged. They want total control, and they'll stop at nothing to get it.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is rightfully roasting California Governor Gavin Newsom for wanting to tax the fund's recipients. Classic Cali: Tax everything that moves, especially if it’s breathing freedom.

Brinkema's got a hearing scheduled for June 12th. Mark your calendars, folks. This is where we find out if the Deep State's legal terrorism will succeed. If they win, it's just another reminder that the swamp is deeper and more entrenched than we thought.

But hey, at least we have memes. And copium. Lots and lots of copium.
