This is a big deal. @govpritzker.illinois.gov's Republican predecessor put the state's finances in the crapper. Pritzker has invested heavily in the state's people and infrastructure AND restored its fiscal stability. No small feat.

Minneapolis must find hundreds of Republican judges before early voting for the midterms opens in October, a task the city has said it's not equipped for. The ruling could disproportionately affect voters who cast ballots early, a popular method in the state with one of the highest voter turnouts.

NEW: Cornyn got language from Blanche saying the slush fund is rescinded, but there’s no mention of tax immunity. It *sounds* to me like Cornyn and Tillis blame Trump, and not Blanche for stonewalling. I fear they’ll use that as reason enough to confirm Blanche.
Tweet from Laura Weiss at Punchbowl News: DOJ has offered Cornyn & Tillis language saying the "anti-weaponization fund" is "rescinded and shall have no force or effect," per screenshot below

Cornyn & Tillis have praised Blanche over the last day or so and finally met with him in person Thursday. They seem happy w/ Blanche and to believe their problem is someone in Trump's orbit

Tillis is now accusing an "incompetent personal advisor to the President" of blocking a dealTweet from Tillis: The President made it clear today that the so-called Anti Weaponization Fund is still alive, which is exactly why we are attempting to formally end it. While I never disagreed that the Biden Administration pursued a number of vindictive prosecutions related to January 6, the criminals who assaulted police officers and defiled our nation’s Capitol are not “great American patriots” who are “victims of government abuse.” Anyone who attacked law enforcement should still be in prison, not getting a check from the federal government. 

Senator Cornyn and I have been working with Acting AG Todd Blanche to end the Anti Weaponization Fund, and he has been forthright, thoughtful and patient. It’s a shame his confirmation has hit a snag only because an incompetent personal advisor to the President refuses to amend the bogus settlement. I will continue working in good faith to put an end this legal and political albatross and prevent any potential misallocation of taxpayer dollars.
