BESSENT: We inherited this fiscal situation-- BENNET: You inherited it from Donald Trump! He's the first president to come back after a four year hiatus after we know exactly what the last tax cuts did, which was blow a massive hole in our deficits and debt. You can't sit here

Turns out, chasing hard working people through ranches and farms and snatching women and children off the streets is not good policy.

Now he admits his “very aggressive policy on immigration” is backfiring. Just like with the tariffs, it’s boneheaded policy that he didn’t think through. The incompetence of this president is breathtaking, it’s been screwup after screwup, and it’s happening right in front of your

Yesterday, I met with a 12-year-old boy in Oxnard, CA. His mom and dad have been fieldworkers for over 20 years. ICE agents snatched his parents from the fields and left this boy alone with no clue when he’ll see them again. A 6th grader.

“Didn’t identify himself”? It’s the FIRST THING out of his mouth in the video. You’ve detained a mayor. A judge. A union leader. Now a U.S. Senator. You’ve deployed Marines on U.S. soil. If a President did this abroad, we'd have a word for it: Dictator.

Marching with Congressional Hispanic Caucus to the senate to demand GOP Leader John Thune take immediate action to investigate and hold DHS accountable for the assault and detainment of U.S. Sen Michael Padilla. This is America. This is our democracy. We will not stand for it.

1. Trump's tax cuts overwhelmingly help the rich 2. His spending cuts are targeted at the poor 3. Tariffs cost the poor a larger share of their income Roll these three regressive policies together and you get the largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history.

Your timely reminder that Obama negotiated a great deal with Iran (JCPOA) which halted its nuclear program in its tracks. Trump ENDED that deal (in 2018). Iran then resumed enriching Uranium and now here we are with another preventable war on our hands.

It’s worth watching the full video of the Secretary Kristi Noem press conference. Particularly when (just before she is interrupted by Senator Alex Padilla) Noem says: “We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this

“We are in a dangerous moment. I’m sorry that diplomacy did not work,” says former top US diplomat Wendy R. Sherman, who helped negotiate the 2015 nuclear deal. “If Donald Trump had not withdrawn from the original JCPOA, we would not be here.”

NEWS — All 47 Senate Democrats sent a letter to President Trump this morning, demanding he withdraw all military forces from Los Angeles. Alex Padilla, who was physically removed from a DHS presser this week, led the Dems in writing to the WH. “Respect for our Constitution and

17 million people just lost health care. 18 million kids just lost school meals. 3 million Americans just lost food assistance. And $3.5 trillion was added to the deficit. All for a tax cut for Trump’s billionaire donors. The ultimate betrayal.
