Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) had a fiery response to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Thursday on Capitol Hill.

Bessent was testifying before the Senate Banking Committee on the U.S. economy under President Donald Trump and his economic policy agenda.

"Last week, Trump said 'we have the groceries going down.' Did grocery prices drop in 2025?" Warren asked Bessent.

"Numerous prices have," Bessent said.

"Did grocery prices drop in 2025?" Warren asked again.

"Numerous grocery prices have gone down," Bessent said

"I'm sorry. I don't know if you can't hear me?" Warren said.

Bessent attempted to respond when Warren unleashed a serious rebuttal.

"Please stop. Have you seen the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is Donald Trump's own Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers, that report that grocery prices were 2.4% higher at the end of 2025 than they were at the end of 2024?" Warren asked.

"Trump's own Department of Agriculture has projected that those prices would climb higher in 2026 and under Donald Trump, families are paying more and more for groceries," she said. "So if you're just going to insult people by denying the facts that are out there and tell people they're doing great when they're struggling, I think it's just another way to say you don't have a plan to bring down these prices. You're not willing to admit the failures of the Trump administration."

(Photo by Paul Natkin/Getty Images) Getty Images Singer Lou Gramm has a vivid memory of recording the ballad “Waiting for a Girl Like You” at New York City’s Electric Lady Studio for his band Foreigner more than 40 years ago. Gramm was adding his vocals for the track in the control room on the other side of the glass when he noticed a beautiful woman walking through the door. “She sits on the sofa in front of the board,” he says. “She looked at me while I was singing. And every now and then, she had a little smile on her face. I’m not sure what that was, but it was driving me crazy. “And at the end of the song, when I’m singing the ad-libs and stuff like that, she gets up,” he continues. “She gives me a little smile and walks out of the room. And when the song ended, I would look up every now and then to see where Mick [Jones] and Mutt [Lange] were, and they were pushing buttons and turning knobs. They were not aware that she was even in the room. So when the song ended, I said, ‘Guys, who was that woman who walked in? She was beautiful.’ And they looked at each other, and they went, ‘What are you talking about? We didn’t see anything.’ But you know what? I think they put her up to it. Doesn’t that sound more like them?” “Waiting for a Girl Like You” became a massive hit in 1981 for Foreigner off their album 4, which peaked at number one on the Billboard chart for 10 weeks and…
