Tim Walz : "I respect how dangerous Donald Trump is. I respect when he says he’s going to do something, no matter how unhinged it is" Walz has been working to insulate his state from Donald Trump's extreme agenda.

The Minnesota governor says the country would have had a serious leader, not these unserious clowns sitting around Trump .

Trump 's budget plan includes massive cuts to non-defense spending, diversity initiatives, and clean-energy initiatives, among others.

He has backed off some tariffs or amended them amid some of this pressure, but he may modify himself.

He's basically holding the economy hostage and using the promise of relief to force the private sector to kiss the ring, says Julian Zelizer .

Eric Liu : "We need to be buckled up and ready to go. This resistance feels different to me. It's more focused on, You’re not going to do this to America . It’s less dependent on an election or a candidate. It feels more wide-ranging. I think that's fair, and I think you should have to respond to people. People are frustrated that when we get power, we haven’t moved the ball far enough".
