The Trump Administration is using the federal Judgment Fund to dismantle offshore wind projects and redirect investments toward fossil fuels.   The Judgment Fund is a federal account used to pay claims and settlements involving the government.

A Florida grand jury found the DeSantis administration “misappropriated” $10 million meant to provide health insurance for poor children. Part of a “sophisticated scheme to fund political activities,” the money was funneled through multiple organizations before reaching two PACs and the Florida GOP.

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
