I am a constituent writing to both of you jointly to demand immediate and decisive action to stop the proposed $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” in its entirety. This proposal is fundamentally incompatible with congressional intent, appropriations authority, and public trust. Even aside from procedural concerns, the underlying concept of creating a large taxpayer-funded compensation mechanism for individuals connected to the January 6th events is unacceptable and cannot be legitimized through further review or refinement. This is not a matter that should proceed through normal administrative review or be “adjusted” through oversight. The structure and premise of the fund are so inherently flawed that Congress should move to block and prohibit it outright. At minimum, this proposal raises the following urgent concerns: It lacks clear, explicit statutory authorization for creation or operation at this scale It introduces severe risks of politicized or conflict-affected distribution of federal funds It circumvents Congress’s constitutional authority over federal spending It creates an unacceptable precedent for taxpayer-funded compensation tied to politically charged events Regardless of intent, the existence of such a fund undermines public confidence in neutral application of federal authority and weakens Congress’s control over appropriations. As Washington State’s U.S. Senators, I am urging both of you to act together to ensure this proposal does not proceed in any form. I am specifically requesting that you: Oppose and block any authorization or implementation of this fund in its entirety Support immediate Senate hearings to fully expose its structure and origin Introduce or support legislation explicitly prohibiting funds of this nature Ensure that no federal mechanism is used to distribute taxpayer funds under this framework This is a matter of constitutional authority, fiscal integrity, and public trust. It should not be normalized, restructured, or allowed to proceed in modified form. I expect both of your offices to treat this as urgent and take clear action to stop it.
