Schumer: "Just now, the White House announced construction of a $200 million White House ballroom that will begin in September. A $200 million ballroom! Where'd this money come from? Did Congress appropriate it? I don't think so. It's almost like DOGE was never about waste."

"He made two-and-a-half billion today, and he made nine hundred million, that's not bad!"

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suggested allowing bird flu to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Veterinary scientists said that would be inhumane, dangerous and have enormous economic consequences.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
