Is the U.S. government reorganizing or unraveling? Last week, the U.S. Department of State experienced mass layoffs, and now, the U.S. Supreme Court has cleared a path for further layoffs at the U.S. Department of Education. What will be the result? Are American voters aware of the impacts? And: how do MAGA voters and politicians feel about Trump's NATO weapons deal? Does it break the Trump campaign's promise to stop U.S. involvement in foreign wars? We cover all of this in under 15 minutes!
