Schumer Says Democrats Will Seek to Block Weaponization Fund

Outlets agree that Schumer said Senate Democrats would try to block the roughly $1.8 billion fund and force a Senate vote using procedural tactics. Center outlets emphasize those tactics and the possibility that Democrats can force votes even if they cannot stop the fund. Right-leaning outlets stress the effort’s potential to endanger the Republican-led package and, in one account, block compensation for victims of government abuse.
