Like, we actually care. about public service being a vehicle to make life better for the American people. Our challenge often has been that we have not always been as effective in communicating that sentiment.

We have mastered the fine print. Unless you master the fine print, you can't accomplish all of the things that I just laid out. And those were the highlights. But far too often, you know, instead of communicating in headlines, you persuade in headlines, you know, we lapse into fine print.

So in terms of the issue that makes me rage, I just think it's the cruelty of it all that we're seeing coming from Donald Trump and the Republicans. It's cruel to fire thousands of veterans who served this country. It's cruel. It's cruel to try to snatch away Social Security, right? I mean, it's cruel to impose the largest Medicaid cut in American history.

You know, the cruelty of it all, I can go on and on, the mean-spirited nature of it all, you're going to crash the economy, drive us toward a recession, and then say, well, what's a little pain to be experienced by the American people? This is not America. We are better than this. And I think that is, you know, that, that, that is probably above all else.
