Before the 2024 election, ads popped up in swing state legal publications declaring--incorrectly--that certifying elections was optional.
New documents show the group running the ads was funded by Cleta Mitchell and Heather Honey, @SRL at @GuardianUS reports.

Proud Boy Enrique Tarrio says the quiet part out loud:
Even if Trump scraps the Anti-Weaponization Fund, DOJ could still settle separate claims brought by Jan. 6ers — potentially handing out millions in taxpayer dollars to people who participated in the attack on the Capitol.

The court's injunction blocking the fund is temporary. Complying with the court's ruling just means the government is going to do anything regarding the fund while a motion is pending in the case: storage.courtlistener.com/re…
The Department of Justice disagrees strongly with the decision on the Anti-Weaponization Fund put forth by the United States District Court Judge in the Eastern District of Virginia, wherein the Court stated that, under no circumstances, may the Department of Justice proceed with the Anti-Weaponization Fund recently established in order to make up for the tremendous abuse, harm, and hate unfairly shown to so many people. This Fund was open to anybody who was so weaponized, targeted, or persecuted, whether they were Democrat, Republican, Conservative, Independent, or otherwise. The Department will abide by the Court’s ruling.
