On June 5, 2026, six Republican senators voted alongside Democrats to support an amendment proposed by Senator Bill Cassidy (R-La.) that aims to prevent the Trump administration from reinstating a $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund. This fund is intended to provide financial support to individuals who identify as MAGA allies and claim they were unjustly prosecuted by the Justice Department during the Biden administration. The Republican senators who voted in favor of the amendment include Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), and Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska).
