What is an anti-weaponization fund? Is it a legit use of taxpayer
dollars to help people of all political stripes who were wronged
by their government, or is it a corrupt slush fund to help
President Trump and his political allies? One immediate question
on the minds of Democrats is if people who attacked the Capitol
on January 6 will be some of the early beneficiaries.

Also, despite Trump’s sagging poll numbers, he continues to hold
sway over his party with one primary vote after another against
sitting Republicans. Is there a political cost for Trump and the
GOP if a coalition of lame ducks starts growing with an eye
towards their own counter-revenge?

And we’ve got some great questions from you this week, including
whether we really need politicians at all to run a
government.
