Description
House Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing for a massive increase in military spending—but who is the real target?
In this edition of the Commonwealth Report, Thom Hartmann breaks down the alarming new justification for a $1.1 trillion Pentagon budget: fighting "communism" on American soil.
We also investigate how US tax dollars are bankrolling far-right movements in Europe, the legal complaints against RFK Jr. for election law violations, and the controversial Senate confirmation of Trump’s personal lawyer, Todd Blanche, for the DOJ. Plus, learn why climate change is making your flights more turbulent and the new GOP-led push to remove protections for grizzly bears in the West.
