Summary

This week on Face the Nation President Trump continues to make good on his campaign pledges. What do Americans think of the Trump 2.0 policies and Mr. Trump's performance as president so far? We’ll break down our new CBS News poll with Anthony Salvanto, CBS News' executive director of elections and surveys. As Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency squad continue their sweep through federal agencies, President Trump says they're doing so at his insistence, and that there's more to come. But that revamp is leading to confusion and the consequences are spreading across the country, and around the world. How could the president's bureaucratic shake-up impact America's law enforcement, homeland security, and intelligence capabilities? Plus, what's the impact of cutting U.S. aid to the countries that need it the most?   We'll talk with Texas Republican Congressman Michael McCaul and Minnesota Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Tennessee Republican Senator Bill Hagerty also weighs in.
