The week began with Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) losing his primary to a Trump-backed challenger. It went only downhill from there for Senate Republicans.

On Monday, the Department of Justice unveiled a $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund to compensate Biden-era “lawfare” victims, including possibly for U.S. Capitol rioters. President Donald Trump snubbed Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) to endorse GOP opponent Ken Paxton on Tuesday. By Wednesday, the GOP’s $70 billion immigration enforcement bill was on shaky ground over $220 million in ballroom security funding that Trump wanted.
