Now, anti-Catholic rants directed at Jewish lawmakers? That\u2019s a different story.<\/p>\n<p>This week, we maintain our unnecessary obsession with the California governor\u2019s race and get to work on our obituary of Sen. Bill Cassidy\u2019s political career. Silly episodes abounded in congressional budget hearings. Plus: The mysterious case of a missing New Jersey lawmaker.<\/p>\n<p>(You know what <em>else <\/em>happened this week? Slate released its new season of Slow Burn, this one about the making of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and written and reported by Slate\u2019s Susan Matthews. Listen on your phone here or on your computer here.)<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>We\u2019ll begin this week, though, with two entries of service journalism about a couple of suspect uses of taxpayer dollars that are in the pipeline.<\/p>\n<h3>\n<div>\n      1.\n    <\/div>\n<div>Donald Trump<\/div>\n<\/h3>\n<h3>\n<strong>The IRS lawsuit scheme nears its payoff.<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>In late January, Trump sued the IRS and Treasury Department for $10 billion over tax returns that, years ago, were leaked to the public. This unusual instance of the president suing his own executive branch looked like a setup from the start. It opened a possibility of an out-of-court settlement with his Justice Department lackeys for whatever he wanted.<\/p>\n<p>The suit isn\u2019t faring so well in court, as the judge has questioned whether the two parties are \u201csufficiently adverse to each other.\u201d (You\u2019re on to something, judge.) That means it might be time for the crafters of this shakedown to stop pretending to go through the legal process and just wire the cash already. The New York Times reported early in the week that the Justice Department \u201cis holding internal discussions about settling\u201d the case. The terms were still being batted around, and CNN reported that a settlement could \u201cinclude a provision on the IRS dropping audits of the president and members of his family, as well as audits of the family\u2019s businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The latest report from ABC News, though, is that Trump might drop the suit \u201cin exchange for the creation of a $1.7 billion fund to compensate allies who claim they were wrongfully targeted by the Biden administration.\u201d We can\u2019t help but get a kick out of the Justice Department recognizing that straight-up paying Trump would look bad, and viewing a <em>slush fund to give to Trump\u2019s friends<\/em> as some sort of reasonable compromise. It would merely be a different flavor of raiding the Treasury for personal gain. Keep an eye on this one. That shouldn\u2019t be hard, since they\u2019re making no effort to conceal it.<\/p>\n<h3>\n<div>\n      2.\n    <\/div>\n<div><strong>Elizabeth MacDonough<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/h3>\n<h3>\n<strong>Will she spoil the fun of a vote on the ballroom?<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>Moving on to Trump\u2019s other big expense he\u2019s trying to justify putting on the company credit card: the beautiful White House ballroom. Congressional Republicans\u2019 reconciliation bill offers the Secret Service $1 billion that can be used on security-related elements of the \u201cEast Wing Modernization Project\u201d\u2014THE BALLROOM\u2014such as, perhaps, secure walls, ceilings, and floors, among other things. Republicans in both chambers are understandably nervous about the politics of using public cash to build Trump a playroom, though. Briefings from Secret Service leadership on the Hill this week did not change any minds.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans\u2019 best hope for getting out of this jam may come in the form of old Surge friend Elizabeth \u201cThe Hammer\u201d MacDonough, the Senate parliamentarian, who will determine what is and isn\u2019t allowed in the bill under the strict rules of reconciliation. Democrats are challenging the provision under a technicality, arguing that it\u2019s outside the jurisdiction of the committee that put it in the bill. They may well win. But to what end? Each party seems to be arguing to MacDonough the opposite of what it wants. Democrats are pretending that they don\u2019t want to see Republicans vote on $1 billion in ballroom bucks, while Republicans are pretending that they do want to vote on it. For the purposes of fun\u2014a key element of the Senate parliamentarian\u2019s work\u2014MacDonough should determine that, under Senate rules, the $1 billion can only go to chandeliering, gold leaf work, and things of that nature in the ballroom, and then let the votes fall where they may.<\/p>\n<h3>\n<div>\n      3.\n    <\/div>\n<div><strong>Bill Cassidy<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/h3>\n<h3>\n<strong>Farewell now, or in a month?<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>Louisiana holds its Senate primary today, and the biggest question is whether Sen. Bill Cassidy will become the first incumbent senator to lose a primary in nearly a decade in this round of voting <em>or<\/em> in a likely runoff next month. Cassidy, Trump-endorsed Rep. Julia Letlow, and state treasurer John Fleming have been relatively bunched in the polling. Letlow has Trump\u2019s endorsement, but she has never had to run a competitive, nasty race before, and Cassidy is assailing her for having previously supported DEI initiatives in her past work\u2014before DEI was understood in GOP politics to be the devil\u2019s work. Fleming, meanwhile, hasn\u2019t had much to spend, and has always been somewhat of a gadfly going back to his years in the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homemovechronicle.com\/?p=27\">The DOJ Just Made a Shocking Confession About One of Trump\u2019s Worst Early Executive Orders<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Even with those weaknesses of his two opponents, though, we don\u2019t see how Cassidy\u2014who\u2019s living his political punishment for having voted to convict Trump in his impeachment trial five years ago\u2014would have much of a path. He either doesn\u2019t advance to the runoff in Saturday\u2019s vote, or he has to face a MAGA candidate in very pro-MAGA runoff electorate. It\u2019s not a coincidence that he finds himself in this situation; Louisiana scrapped its jungle primary system a couple of years ago so that Cassidy would be easier to boot. The bottom line is that Trump wants Cassidy <em>gone, <\/em>and Louisiana Republican primary voters are not the sort to deny Trump what he wants in the end.<\/p>\n<h3>\n<div>\n      4.\n    <\/div>\n<div><strong>Xavier Becerra<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/h3>\n<h3>\n<strong>California, this is your king?<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>The Surge doesn\u2019t live in California. California can do whatever it wants. And yet, its governor\u2019s race keeps finding its way into our national politics newsletter, because we can\u2019t believe the dopiness we continue to see. As we wrote last week, former congressman, state attorney general, and Biden Cabinet secretary Xavier Becerra has leapt in the polls since former Rep. Eric Swalwell\u2019s exit from the race. Why? Well, voters have to vote for someone, and he was arguably the least annoying candidate.<\/p>\n<p><em>Was<\/em> being the key word. In a clip that went viral this week, Becerra was involved in the most nails-on-a-chalkboard exchange with a reporter that we\u2019ve witnessed in recent memory. He asks the reporter, in a little whiney baby\u2019s voice, \u201cBy the way, this is a profile piece, this is not a gotcha piece, right?\u201d Then he explains that a \u201cprofile\u201d can have tough questions, but \u201cnot only tough questions.\u201d Cool. It was a smarmier version of fellow candidate Katie Porter\u2019s infamous interview with CBS last fall in which she, too, tried to police the reporter\u2019s questioning. One-party rule has a way of making candidates soft.<\/p>\n<h3>\n<div>\n      5.\n    <\/div>\n<div><strong>Mitch McConnell<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/h3>\n<h3>\n<strong>Trump defends Mitch McConnell? Against his staffer??<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>Mitch McConnell is not in the best of shape. After so many falls and hospitalizations, he\u2019s taking a wheelchair around the Capitol. He\u2019s slurring and halting in his speech. And there was an incident this week while McConnell was chairing his defense appropriations subcommittee hearing. When he suggested that there was only one more senator left to ask questions, a staffer interjected to tell him\u2014in words picked up by the mic\u2014that several additional senators had time to speak. McConnell appeared flummoxed.<\/p>\n<p>Then it got weird. Trump posted about the incident, but surprisingly <em>not <\/em>to mock McConnell for being old. Instead, he went after the McConnell staffer, longtime Hill defense policy aide Robert Karem. \u201cThis was a case where Mitch wasn\u2019t confused, he just didn\u2019t understand why he was being asked to do something when it was too late, and people were wrapping up to leave.\u201d Trump then went after Karem, saying he had \u201ctremendous Democrat support, far greater than he should have, and is praised relentlessly by Obama\u2019s people.\u201d He encouraged McConnell to \u201cFIRE THE BUM!\u201d We are not sure what exactly happened during Karem\u2019s tenure in the first Trump administration at the Pentagon to make him feel this way. (Probably just that he defended NATO or something.) But it\u2019s rare enough to see Trump name and shame a Hill staffer, and rarer still to see him bypass a cheap shot at McConnell to get there.<\/p>\n<h3>\n<div>\n      6.\n    <\/div>\n<div><strong>Kash Patel<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/h3>\n<h3>\n<strong>Another edifying hearing for the viewing public.<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>The FBI director was also on the Hill this week for a budget hearing and, in an unorthodox strategy for a setting where you\u2019re asking Congress for money, was eager to fight. So when Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen asked him about the Atlantic\u2019s recent report regarding his alleged drinking on the job, Patel leapt at Van Hollen with a set of smears. He accused Van Hollen of \u201cslinging margaritas in El Salvador on the taxpayer dollar with a convicted, gang-banging rapist,\u201d referring to the Salvadoran president\u2019s staged photo of Van Hollen with Kilmar Abrego Garcia last year. He also accused Van Hollen of running a \u201c$7,000 bar tab\u201d in D.C. (Van Hollen later explained that he rented out the bar for his staff holiday party with campaign funds.) Then they challenged each other to take tests about their drinking habits; Van Hollen has released his while Patel has not.<\/p>\n<p>This wasn\u2019t the only story about the exciting lifestyle of Kash Patel this week, either. The Associated Press reported that during a visit to Honolulu last summer, Patel took part in \u201cwhat government officials described as a \u2018VIP snorkel\u2019 around the USS <em>Arizona<\/em> in an outing coordinated by the military.\u201d Well, wouldn\u2019t you go snorkeling around a solemn mass entombment if you got the chance, too? We wonder how much longer Patel has before Trump finally gets sick of the headlines.<\/p>\n<h3>\n<div>\n      7.\n    <\/div>\n<div><strong>Tom Kean Jr.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/h3>\n<h3>\n<strong>Where is this guy?<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>Someone is missing, and no one knows where the hell he is! Specifically: New Jersey GOP Rep. Tom Kean Jr., who last voted in the House on March 5 and has been MIA ever since. The public explanation from Kean, in an X post attributed to him, is that he\u2019s been dealing with a \u201cpersonal medical issue\u201d and that he\u2019s expected to return to a full schedule \u201cvery soon.\u201d He posted that on April 27, though, and there\u2019s still no sign of him. This week, he was dropped from the program of an event on May 28 because of his health issue.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s been unusual about this absence is that no one seems to have a clue what\u2019s going on. Punchbowl News reported that House GOP leaders don\u2019t know; Kean has only spoken to Speaker Mike Johnson once. Politico reported last month that the two other Republicans in New Jersey\u2019s GOP delegation had reached out to him and not heard anything in return. When the Times asked his chief of staff why he had not been seen in New Jersey or Washington during all this time, the chief cryptically responded, \u201cThere\u2019s no cameras where Tom is.\u201d The Surge wishes Kean well, but it\u2019s an interesting strategy for his team not to offer even the slightest clue to his constituents why he hasn\u2019t been able to work for months\u2014especially as Kean\u2019s district is one of the most competitive in the <span>country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homemovechronicle.com\/?p=25\">Becoming Justice Gorsuch<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The administration is mulling a plan for a massive taxpayer-funded slush fund for Trump\u2019s closest allies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,10,44,45,46],"class_list":["post-31","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","tag-california","tag-donald-trump","tag-mitch-mcconnell","tag-senate","tag-the-surge"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Trump\u2019s New Grift Is His Most Brazen \u2026 Ever?
