Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., said Americans will “have to suck it up” as President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency lay off hundreds of thousands of federal workers.
“There’s going to be some tough times,” Tuberville told ABC News’ Diane Macedo when asked about DOGE’s impact. “We have to cut the fat out of out of spending in this country.”

Tuberville also addressed Trump’s tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, saying that “there’s going to be a little bit of pain” as the move threatens to drive up prices on groceries, gas and more. “But at the end of the day, if we don’t do this, it’s going to be much, much worse.”
He also voiced his support for Trump’s pause on all U.S. military aid to Ukraine, saying he hasn’t “voted for any money to go to it because Ukraine can’t beat Russia.”
