Episode Details

The House just passed a $1.15 trillion defense bill — a near party-line vote that’s sparking outrage across the aisle. The bill’s passage was complicated by the President’s surprise military action in support of Israel’s war on Iran, which has already cost $37.5 billion without congressional approval. Senate Democrats blocked their version to protest, while critics decry the spending, arguing funds could better serve domestic needs. The bill also includes a controversial Trump-backed voting reform and a pro-Israel defense tech partnership that some Republicans say undermines U.S. sovereignty. Now headed to the Senate, this bill embodies the nation’s deepening fractures over defense, foreign policy, and election integrity — and the drama isn’t over.
