BESSENT: Job growth is solid
BEYER: Job growth is a third what it was last year, sir
HASSAN: Have costs for new parents increased or decreased under President Trump?
BESSENT: I'm not sure how you're defining that
HASSAN: The answer is that costs have gone up for new parents
Warren to Bessent: "The only people who are saying publicly that it's not gonna add to the national debt are you, Donald Trump, the Republican in Congress. Do you have an independent group that has put forward numbers that disagrees with all of these conservatives groups & the Wall Street Journal?"

TINA SMITH: But you're not controlling medical expenses by taking insurance away from people. You're just shifting the cost to hospitals and individuals and uncompensated care.

This is disgusting.
If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

New in PN: Republicans are trying to sell a bizarre fantasy on the economy
"As they craft a radical budget bill, they're making claims as absurd as anything Trump offers, all adding up to a fantasy of the future so improbable that to examine it for a moment is to understand how ridiculous it is."
NEW: Attorneys for Kilmar Abrego Garcia civil case ask court for SANCTIONS against Trump Admin. attorneys for delays in returning Abrego Garcia to U.S.:
"The Government’s defiance has not been subtle. It has been vocal and sustained and flagrant"

Obviously it sends the message, 'Go further underground. Don't appear in court. Don't pay your taxes' ... that's just going to make the public less safe."

BESSENT: You're playing a game of semantics
W: Why don't you just answer the question?
B: Why don't you ask an honest question?
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 and lie about that!
What happened here is an example of the Trump administration “de-documenting” people. His workers all had work permits; it seems they were Nicaraguans who entered through CHNV parole. But the Trump admin stripped them of their status then rounded them up, making even his supporter mad.
