V and Christina attempt a little self-care while breaking down a number that demands an explanation: the Trump administration reportedly directed $875 million into the White House Repair and Restoration account—an account that has typically received approximately $2.5 million annually in recent years.
They discuss the massive White House construction plans, where the money reportedly came from, why Congress was bypassed, the treatment of American service members, Todd Blanche, political deception, and the corruption that never seems to end.
Yes, they’re wearing face masks. No, the political chaos did not pause for self-care day.
