Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) got some pushback during an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" for her party's response to the barrage of controversial actions being taken by the Trump administration.
During a roundtable discussion with Warren, "Morning Joe" contributor Mike Barnicle pointed out that many of the Trump administration's moves were laid out in the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 long before he won the 2024 election, and he wondered why Democrats nonetheless seem to have been caught flat footed.
"They planned these things and clearly have planned them for quite some time, and it seems to me that there's no really tough, almost gangster-like response from the Democrats about what's going on," he pointed out.
"Ultimately that's not who we are," Warren replied.
"Well you better step it up then!" Barnicle replied.

Warren evaded answering and said that voters should be concentrating on the unpopular agenda Republicans are trying to push through Congress.
"There is a pattern here, I know it feels like a dust storm, but watch what's happening back in Congress," she said. "They're moving forward every step, taking every step to do what? To be able to do giant tax giveaways for billionaires and pay for it how? On the backs of cutting Social Security, cutting our promises to our veterans, cutting health care for little babies, taking away support for our public schools, for our kids with special needs. They think they can get away with that... Here's our secret plan: We'll tell everyone right now... the truth because... this is so damned unpopular."
