Sen. Bill Cassidy voted for the funding resolution on May 20 2026 that included a provision allowing senators to sue for up to $500k in damages for being surveilled. The resolution also contained the $1.8 billion anti-weaponization compensation fund. Cassidy criticized the $1.8 billion fund as a slush fund with no legal precedent that adds to the national debt. The fund was created via DOJ settlement after Trump dropped his $10 billion IRS lawsuit.
