BARTIROMO: Walz told people to take out cameras & film ICE. Of course ICE agents are going to respond if citizens get in the way of operations. What do you propose they do?
MOSKOWITZ: We have right to protest here in America. A US citizen should not be shot in the face just bc they're protesting.

Cracks emerge in Trump’s ‘ruthless’ midterms strategy
Trump rallied a historic coalition of voters to win the 2024 election. Now there are doubts about whether he’ll be able to turn out key portions of his base to limit his party’s midterm losses.

No, Donald Trump cannot implement voting changes via Executive Order. He may try but if he does, he we will sue and we will win.
BARTIROMO: Could the president just implement an executive order to get the SAVE Act across the finish line going into the midterms?
REP. MARK HARRIS: That's a great question. I don't know the answer to that, quite frankly.
