RADDATZ: Trump said he's made 200 deals on tariffs. 200 deals? Who has he made deals with? Is there actually any deal at this point? BESSENT: I believe that he is referring to subdeals within the negotiations we are doing

Trump signed an executive order letting educators physically discipline kids—and this school principal’s response is perfect: “No. We’re not going to be doing that. It feels like a set up.” Because it is.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

Kudos to Sen. Chris Van Hollen. You know who surely would have gone as well and made this a bipartisan effort, if he were alive? Sen. John McCain.

Trump has already cost our economy billions in tourism revenue. I am so embarrassed to live in a country that could elect this man. I gifted this article so you can see the charts and see how severely Trump has hurt our economy already. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I'm struggling so hard to give a fuck about a bunch of rich people who paid the 3rd richest person on Earth $500,000 to go to space for a few minutes, while there are folks here who can't even afford the basics to survive.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Musk originally said his DOGE would save at least $2 trillion, then $2TN, then $1TN, now he says $150 billion and NYT reports that is even overstated. And that doesn’t include expected loss of tax revenue from IRS cuts. What a joke!

I love companies. Government and companies are not the same, and shouldn't be run the same. Americans should want our country run in a lawful and compassionate manner.

Casey: There’s this whole mentality that MAGA has painted—like you’re either MAGA or you’re, you know, drinking soy lattes or whatever. But there are a lot of people who are just like, “We’re just regular people—we don’t want a dictator, we don’t want to see people’s benefits ripped away..”
