Trump has invited high-dollar donors to an April 6 fundraiser that comes as his fundraising is well behind President Joe Biden. The invitation’s fine print says donations to the Trump 47 Committee will first be used to give the maximum amount allowed under federal law to Trump’s campaign. Anything left over from the donation next goes toward a maximum contribution to the Save America PAC, and then anything left from there goes to the RNC and then to state political parties
Some Republicans are already troubled that Trump’s takeover of the RNC could shortchange the cash-strapped party. The unorthodox diversion of funds to Save America makes it more likely that Republican donors could see their money go to Trump’s lawyers, who have received at least $76 million over the last two years to defend him.

Five other nations in the region — Albania, Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro and North Macedonia — are at different stages of the EU membership process. Since Russia’s war on Ukraine, EU officials are keener on trying to lure them away from the Kremlin’s influence.
Bosnia is riven by ethnic divisions, even decades after the 1992-95 war that tore the country apart, leaving more than 100,000 people dead and millions displaced.

Separatist Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik, who is pro-Russia, continues to undermine the presidency and other political functions in the country. In December, Dodik told The Associated Press that he intended to keep weakening the country to the point where it fell apart.

Cacio E Pepe E Chili Crisp, from Dan Pashman's “Anything's Pastable." (Dan Liberti/William Morrow via AP) |
Dan Pashman’s recipe for Cacio E Pepe E Chili Crisp
In this dish, from food writer and podcaster Dan Pashman’s book “Anything’s Pastable,” chili crisp pairs beautifully with dairy. It’s the perfect addition to cacio e pepe because it amplifies and deepens the smoky spice from the pepper and contrasts perfectly with the rich Pecorino. |
