So what do you say, J.D. Vance? You once feared Trump could be the American Adolf Hitler. But that seems to be the hope of the new generation of Republicans you’ve raised. Will you denounce this outbreak of antisemitism, racism and fascism in your party?

Jeffries: "If Donald Trump can find $20b to bail out his right-wing dictator friend in Argentina, it's extraordinary to me that Republicans are unwilling to even have a discussion about how we address the healthcare crisis that they've created."

Groceries? More expensive.
Beef? At an all-time high.
Jobs? Slowing down.
Tariffs? You’re paying for them.

Trump called it “America First.”
Turns out he meant “Americans Pay First".

Wild how the so-called "America First" president found money for a $20 billion bailout to Argentina…

But somehow we can't afford to help Americans keep their healthcare.

Reporter: Trump is hosting Argentina's president on the heels of a controversial $20 billion bailout. American soybean farmers have struggled ever since the administration kicked off its trade wars. Soybeans are tied to this because China has been buying more soybeans from Argentina than US farmers

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.
