But then, Trump got involved. First, he wanted $1 billion for \" security\" for his beloved beautiful ballroom . Then, the Department of Justice announced that $1.776 billion slush fund for Trump's allies. After Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche met with Senate Republicans to make the case for the slush fund on Thursday, everyone got so mad that Senate Majority Leader John Thune gave up on getting a vote together for the immigration bill and sent everyone home for the holiday. To unpack the reconciliation bill mess, we spoke to Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Brendan Boyle. He's the ranking member of the House Budget Committee.And in headlines, Iran is reportedly reviewing the U.S.'s latest peace proposal, the Trump administration eases restrictions on planet-warming \"super pollutants\" used in air conditioners and refrigerators, and the Democratic National Committee finally releases its autopsy of the 2024 election .Show Notes: Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday","meta_description":"Republicans had a filibuster-proof immigration bill that would allocate $70 billion to immigration enforcement and fully reopen the Department of Homeland…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1302,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/where-it-all-starts-7043127/episodes/how-trump-got-in-the-way-of-his-own-bill/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/where-it-all-starts-7043127/how-trump-got-in-the-way-of-his-own-bill.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
