Well, thanks. It's great to be on with you. And we know how estranged Donald Trump is from the truth. And the fact is his administration isn't interested in data. They're not interested in science. They're only interested in power and making life more chaotic for Americans all across our country. And that's what they're doing. I was talking with

folks that had contracts with the Department of Education recently. And they were telling me how the Department of Ed has ceased the collection of data.

So this is a full out assault, not just on government, but really on our ability as a country and as communities to solve problems, to know where the challenges lie and to know how best to address them collectively moving forward. So it's a deeply chilling moment, I think, for our democracy and the ability of our government to work for everyday Americans

And look, government needs to be a stabilizing force that's informed by reality, that's informed by the data in order to be able to fulfill its mission. But Donald Trump, we know, and the folks around him, they don't believe in the mission of government. They only believe in Donald Trump and amassing more power. And they're doing it at the expense of the American people.
