Island Of Misfit Judges

33 minutes

Tuesday, April 28th, 2026

Today, it turns out the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was not given top security status ahead of the event; a Virginia court declines to block Democrats from using the new voter approved redistricting map; many executive branch deportation judges are unqualified conspiracy theorists; Thom Tillis drops his blockade of Trump Fed chair nominee Kevin Warsh; Donald and Melania are calling for ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel again; and the Service Employees International Union-Healthcare Workers West has gathered 1.5 million signatures to put the billionaire tax on the ballot in California this November; and Allison and Dana deliver your Good News.
