It's getting spicy out there.
Remember Trump's $1.8 billion fund that would compensate "those who believe they were subject to unfair investigations under previous administrations," including J6ers?
Well, Gavin Newsom is trying to take that money away.

Yes, Democrats really think this $1.8 billion fund is a "slush fund" for Trump's allies. In reality, it's compensation money for people who were targeted by the federal government under both Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
At least 26 people from California were charged for their role in the riot on J6 (not including the Buffalo Guy).
From NYP:
Anyone who believes they have been unfairly targeted by any administration could apply for compensation from the Justice Department's new Anti-Weaponization Fund — including those charged in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot and even disgraced former first son Hunter Biden, a senior administration official told the Post.
'The point of this isn't to make every January 6-er a millionaire,' the official said. 'The point is to compensate, and to give people back some of their dignity and some of what they lost, including money, whether it's for legal fees or other costs associated with what they went through.'
So yeah, Gavin, this isn't some "slush fund." It's money for people who were wrongfully targeted by the government when your party was in power.
The only slush fund I can think of here is the money you have tucked away for hair gel.
