“Disaster.” DelBene on Trump’s (second) first 100 days


Listen Later

Today marks the 100th day of Donald Trump’s presidency.

How about some more numbers:

  • Since taking office, the President has signed more than 140 executive orders, pushing major policy shifts on issues from  immigration, to climate policy, and DEI in schools and workplaces .
  • As of Monday, court rulings have blocked or paused Trump policies 128 times, according to the New York Times.
  • The administration enacted high tariffs on around 60 countries before walking that back and going with a much lower rate on most countries – with 1 major exception: China.
  • Under Trump, immigration authorities have used a 1798 law designed for wartime to deport people accused of being gang members without hearings. Even with these aggressive tactics, experts are skeptical that the administration is on track to expel 1 million people a year, as Trump promised. 

And here’s one more number: 0. That’s the branches of government that Democrats control. They’ve been on the sidelines during this rapid and expansive change to the federal government. 

Guest:

Representative Suzan DelBene (WA-01)
