Planning for War Everywhere

On today's In the News roundtable, Brian Becker, Esther Iverem and Walter Smolarek discuss how Congress raced to pass a massive $40 billion spending package for the war in Ukraine at the same time as the foreign policy establishment contemplates the possibility of a military confrontation with China. They also discuss the anniversary of the murder of George Floyd and the racist massacre in Buffalo, the struggle for abortion rights as the Supreme Court ruling looms, and more.
