Under his watch, Toyota has cozied up to Trump & become the largest funder of climate deniers & the most aggressive anti-climate lobbyist in the auto industry.

At one point in the film "A House of Dynamite," a junior official points out that U.S. interceptors have failed almost half their tests, and the secretary of defense responds by bellowing: “That’s what $50 billion buys us?”

Trump’s Proposed Missile Defense System Is a Weapon of Mass Insecurity
The “Golden Dome” will enrich arms contractors, yet it’s likely to be ineffective while worsening the nuclear arms race.
