Billion Dollar Ballroom (feat. Carissa Véliz)
Wednesday, May 6th, 2026
Today, Republicans have released their budget reconciliation bill and it contains a billion dollars for Trump's ballroom and funds ICE at five times capacity through 2028; the DOJ is demanding poll workers names in Georgia; White House lawyers prepping staff for dealing with a Democratic Congress; soil at the DC golf course where East Wing demolition debris was dumped contains toxic metals; a federal grand jury has indicted the WHCD dinner shooter adding an assault charge for the buckshot found in the secret service agent’s bullet proof vest; and Allison and Dana deliver your Good News.
