News was wearing.

Daily beans, daily beans, daily beans, daily beans.

Hello and welcome. Daily Beans, Daily Beans for Wednesday, May 20th, 2026. Today, the Senate has finally advanced a war powers resolution after eight tries. Todd Blanche refuses to block slush fund payouts for convicted sex offenders and rioters that assaulted police on January 6th.

The Department of Justice adds a stipulation to the slush fund that ends the IRS audits into Trump's taxes.

Donald has endorsed Ken Paxton for Senate and Republicans are livid.

Trump is pressuring John Thune to fire the parliamentarian over his $1 billion ballroom budget provision. And the top lawyer at the U.S. Treasury has resigned after the DOJ

established that $1.7 billion slash fund. I'm Alison Gill. And I'm Dana Goldberg.

Hello, my friend. Happy Taint of the Week.

Thank you. I don't know if you heard the exhaustion when I was like,

I'm doing a cold book. Like, these motherfuckers is what that was in my voice

after you just read the headlines. Yeah. Yeah, there's some, there's some fun stuff today,

but also just this $1.8 billion thing is. Yeah, it's so infuriating. It's infuriating.

Yeah, Katanja Brown Jackson was right, man, when she was like, the Oval Office is going to be the

seat of criminality. And she wasn't bullshit when she said that. No. He's just stealing it,

just plain out. It's just outright theft. I'm doing good.

I went to the dentist today. Apparently, in the last year, I've cracked three molars clenching my teeth

over this administration. Allison, I'm telling you, that's why I got my envisaline. Because I was

breaking teeth because I was grinding at night. And so they're going to fix my bite. Yeah. And I have to, I'm going to have to do the same. I'm so sorry, my friend. So I always joke, I have more crowns in my mouth than the English parliament, the British parliament. I only have the one crown. I've been pretty good. You know, I go to the dentist every six months for cleanings, every year for the stuff. Like, I'm really, really big on, because I had braces for like five years when I was a kid and I hated it. So I'm like, I'm never going to let my mouth get fucked up again. But here we are. Thanks, Trump. You think I could get some of that $1.8 billion slash fund to fix my teeth? I think you deserve it because at least you have teeth to fix.

Some of his defendants don't. Oh, did I say that at last? I'm so sorry. I'm definitely going to apply. In fact, when we get the link to apply for that slush fund, we should all apply. Oh, my God. That would be amazing. Just shut down the portal. We'll bring that good

trouble up once we get the link. Also later in the show today, I'm going to be talking to Oliver Larkin. He was just recently on the show. He's coming back. He's running for Florida's 25th district. It's a new district. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is no longer running in that district. So now he's still running against Jared Moskowitz for the August 18th Democratic primary.

But we're going to talk redistricting in Florida. And Dana, just like you've been saying and we've been talking about on the beans and beans talk, it seems as though Republicans may have shot themselves in the foot by diluting their own Republican districts. I mean, it went from
