Episode notes
Trump's Budget Contradicts His Antiwar Rhetoric
- Donald Trump ran as anti-forever-war but proposed a $1.5 trillion defense budget that would nearly double current spending to fund Middle East military action.
- Brian Tyler Cohen lists specific domestic cuts (EPA, housing, K–12, NIH, clean energy) that fund the increase, highlighting tradeoffs in his America First promise.
Pattern Of Broken America First Promises
- Cohen ties Trump's policy shifts (trade war, Medicaid cuts, ACA subsidy cuts, higher inflation) to a pattern of broken America First promises.
- He argues increased military spending plus domestic cuts will disproportionately harm everyday Americans.
Enforce The Bondi Subpoena Or Pursue Contempt
- If Pam Bondi refuses to appear for her April 14th deposition, Oversight plans to file contempt charges immediately.
- Robert Garcia says legal review confirms the subpoena targets Bondi personally and remains enforceable despite her firing.
