## Resource

Mabel breaks down how Trump’s privately funded White House ballroom somehow turned into a $400 million taxpayer-funded “security” emergency. How’d that happen?! She gets into the sneaky politics behind how this reconstruction is now being funded, how this has become all about party loyalty, and why this ballroom fight is about way more than a room.
