Icymi – Alsobrooks on MS NOW: Americans ARE DONE Settling for the Status QUO

August 4, 2026 WASHINGTON, DC – Senator Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) joined MS NOW’s The Beat with Melissa Murray to discuss the Trump Administration’s continued attacks on the American people, this President’s disastrous war, and how Democrats plan to win back the Senate in the midterms. “The truth is this president took our country into a war without a strategic aim, and he had no idea how to get our country out of this war. We voted here 13 different times to end the war. And what we know, as a matter of fact, is while this war is going on, our kids are dying at the same time that this President’s children are getting rich. The cost of the war is being borne by working-class people in our country, the ones who are not only being killed but those who are injured. We see the gas prices, the utility prices, the grocery prices. The cost of the war is being borne by working-class people in our country, and so it’s beyond a point of being concerned; it absolutely must end,” said Senator Alsobrooks during the interview. “Fighting for the status quo is over. Nobody wants the status quo. I think that everyone is hungry at this point for tremendous change… we need a change in our country for everyday hardworking people who do everything right and still cannot make it. That’s the message,” continued Senator Alsobrooks. ###
