Immigration officials to dump thousands of detainees in sanctuary cities, all in the name of pettiness and punished mostly democratic districts and their lawmakers. The administration admitted to floating the plan, then dropping it, not because it was so mean or so authoritarian, but according to a Homeland Security official, because it was, quote, so illegal, which, in President Trumps mind, means so what . Well bring the illegal, whatever you call them, i call them the illegals. They came across the border illegally. Well bring them to sanctuary city areas and let that particular area take care of it. They want more people in their sanctuary cities, well, well give them more people. We can give them unlimited supply. Lets see if theyre so happy. They say we have open arms.

Data sends conflicting signals. Trade tensions run high and political pressures mount. Much of that political pressure is, of course, coming from the president. He has been unrelenting in his criticism of the fed and more specifically of his own pick to lead it, chairman Jerome Powell. Here he was yesterday when asked if he had considered demoting powell. Well, lets see what he does. Theyre going to be making an announcement pretty soon, so well see what happens. But i want to be given a level playing field. And so far, i havent been. So back with me right now is my colleague, ali velshi. Ali, cnbc is reporting that the rates are going to remain unchanged. What do you read into that . So thats what we expected to happen, right .

And the uncertainty of this moment. And under those conditions, Elizabeth Warren may have struggled the most last night. She had some standout moments for sure. But the big moment came when she tried to attack Pete Buttigiegs fundraising and then he responded. The mayor just recently had a fundraiser that was held in a wine cave full of crystals. And served 900 a bottle wine. We made the decision, many years ago, that rich people in smokefilled rooms would not pick the next president of the United States. Billionaires in wine caves should not pick the next president of the United States. According to forbes magazine, im literally the only person on this stage who is not a millionaire or billionaire. Your net worth is 100 times mine. This is the problem with issuing purity tests you cannot, yourself, pass. We need the support from everybody who is committed to helping us defeat donald trump.
