## Resource

Although the future of the $1.8 billion slush fund remains unclear, 1/6 insurrectionists are chasing another route to smash and grab American taxpayers' dollars by way of the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), a federal statute that gives the Trump Regime unfettered discretion to make payouts on specious claims. Katie Phang tracks the status of this new tactic & discusses the link between the insurrectionists and other election deniers as they prepare to interfere with the upcoming Midterms.
