Joe Kennedy criticizes Trump in Democratic response
Rep. Joe Kennedy (D-MA) sharply criticized President Donald Trump and his administration, giving the Democratic party’s response to the State of the Union with a speech that became a rallying cry around key causes that make up his party’s coalition.
Kennedy, who spoke in front of a Mustang on a car lift in the autoshop at Diman Regional Technical School in Fall River, Massachusetts, pitched the Democratic Party as a party that helps “Coal miners or single moms. Rural communities or inner cities. The coast or the heartland.”
“So here is the answer Democrats offer tonight: we choose both,” he said. “We fight for both. Because the strongest, richest, greatest nation in the world shouldn’t leave any one behind.”
Kennedy, who comes from one of the most prominent families in American politics, referenced helping immigrants, addressing those affected by the expiring Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and at one point speaking to them in Spanish.
He indirectly referenced Trump as a “bully” during his response.
“Bullies may land a punch. They might leave a mark,” the Massachusetts Democrat said. “But they have never, not once, in the history of our United States, managed to match the strength and spirit of a people united in defense of their future.”
He also tied the turmoil of the past year to Trump’s administration, saying, “We all feel the fault lines of a fractured country … We hear the voices of Americans who feel forgotten and forsaken.”
Kennedy slammed Trump for “targeting laws” that protect Americans.

This week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the US will target a complex network built by Iran over years to allow its entities to evade Washington’s wide-ranging sanctions. The move comes after six months of a war launched by the US and Israel that has since reached a stalemate amid a lack of diplomatic resolution.
Other developments in the war this week include the deployment of the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt and Iran putting a bounty on the president’s son, Barron Trump.
Experts speak to CNN on this week’s developments from the Iran war.

Joint military drills between the United States and South Korea have been cut in half, after President Donald Trump called for their reduction, citing his close relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. “Based on direction from the President and Secretary of War, the Department has substantially reduced Exercise Ulchi Freedom Shield while continuing training that enhances tactical capability,” a Pentagon official said.
The struggle for global supremacy between the US and China is no more evident in the race to lead AI. While Silicon Valley remains dominant, China has managed to keep up. Recent Chinese models are closing the gap with the best American models and AI is widely incorporated into everyday life.
Fareed Zakaria and experts examine these recent developments from Asia and what they mean for the US.
