Todd Blanche dumps Trump’s slush fund while Trump backs off Iran
Washington is moving at full speed today, switching between nominee cleanup duty and sudden diplomatic plot twists.
Just before sitting down for his Senate confirmation hearing, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche quietly killed off Donald Trump's controversial anti-weaponization fund. It turns out walking into a confirmation process with a dedicated budget for political retaliation makes senators a little nervous.
Meanwhile over at the White House, military strikes against Iran were abruptly called off. The administration tapped the brakes on military strikes after hints of a potential diplomatic deal emerged. Switching from full-scale escalation to negotiating table mode in a single afternoon is classic foreign policy turbulence.
Confirmation prep really has a way of sweeping aggressive policy promises right under the rug.
