Trump Spirals as Bombshell Report Exposes Billions Spent on His War
Trump’s illegal war against Iran has cost American taxpayers more than $33.7 BILLION dollars in just the first four months of the war alone.

She and Katie Phang discuss the state of the illegal war, how the DOD continues to dishonor the memories of the active-duty service members killed, and why our affordability crisis is tied directly to Trump’s illegal war.
