Sen. Merkley to Rubio: You have expressed that no one died as a result of the shutdown of USAID. It's estimated that over 500,000 children have died from that shutdown. I hope you ponder that as we strive to rebuild programs related to malaria, tuberculosis, AIDS, HIV, nutrition, and Ebola.

Sen. Wyden: As of now, every American is subject to audit except for Trump and his family.

Trump: Everything else is obsolete. Wheels and walls. They've been here for a long time. A wheel and a wall you'll always have. Your computer is going to be obsolete about 2 days after it's after you buy it, but wheels and walls, they work.

Q: Are you attending your son's wedding this weekend? Trump: Uhh... he'd like me to go. I'm gonna try and make it. This is not good timing for me.

Q: We're seeing this disruption of the oil supply in the Strait of Hormuz affect economic data. How fast could inflation retreat? Trump's Treasury Secretary: Uhh... well, f-first of all, P-PCE today m-month over month was 0.2, which we're looking at decimal points, but the estimate was 0.3

Sen. Murphy: When Trump came into office, ICE's budget was $10B. ICE's budget is now 11 times that. $115B. Taxpayers entrust their money to us to spend it wisely. We swear an oath to assure that their money is not used to fund illegal behavior. Every single day ICE is violating the Constitution.

James Talarico: It doesn't matter what happens in this Republican runoff because we already know who we're running against. We're running against the billionaire mega-donors who have taken over the system. Both Paxton and Cornyn have a history of serving those donors instead of the people of Texas.

Bryce Mitchell on Trump's White House UFC fight: Our government is desecrating its role in society by entertaining sports. Our government is to protect and serve the people. Our tax dollars and resources are funding this operation. The government is supposed to protect us, not entertain us.

Q: What do you make of President Xi meeting with Putin this week? Trump: I think it's good. I don't know if the ceremony is quite as brilliant as mine. I think we topped him. I think we topped him. I get along with Putin

Rep. Balint: Trump and his supporters in Congress want to turn the clock back. They are trying to undo the progress of the Civil Rights movement. That's why we need groups like the SPLC... This is an effort to criminalize dissent. It's an intentional effort to silence Black voices
