Mounting uncertainty is leading companies to slow hiring.
Meanwhile, as Americans pay more for groceries, electricity, housing, and health care, Republicans in Congress continue to cede their power to rein in the Trump Administration’s catastrophic and harmful policies.

Meanwhile, service-sector hiring – especially in healthcare, which has long been the main engine of job growth – is slowing and reporting losses.
The disastrous consequences of Trump’s erratic decisions are becoming clearer by the day.
Far from sparking a manufacturing renaissance, Trump’s tariffs have worsened a months-long slide in blue-collar employment. Those jobs now sit roughly half a million below what was projected in 2023 and 2024.
Already under strain from the President’s trade war and anti-immigrant crusade, our economy is extremely ill-prepared to deal with yet another wave of Trump-induced chaos, this time in the form of an illegal war of choice in the Middle East which is rapidly driving up energy prices across the globe.
Today's jobs report found the economy shed 92,000 jobs, raising the unemployment rate to 4.4 percent – one of the highest rates since 2021.
Since Trump’s tariffs took effect, the economy on balance lost 19,000 jobs.
This should be a flashing red warning light for the Trump Administration.

The US continues losing blue-collar jobs—year-on-year job losses have hit 238k as manufacturing, transportation, & mining industries lose jobs at a rapid pace, while growth in construction remains low
ICE and CBP killed two American citizens and caused the deaths of immigrants who did nothing wrong.
Yet, Republicans refuse to rein them in.
I voted NO on this bill to fund DHS because Congress shouldn’t give these lawless agencies a blind eye or a blank check.
The House just defeated the Iran War Powers Resolution.
A tragic mistake, but it is not a war authorization.
Under the Constitution, Trump's war remains illegal without authorization from Congress.
Congress shouldn't vote to fund a war it has not authorized—not another penny.
Last week Trump again told Congress and the country that his strikes on Iran last year "obliterated" Iran's nuclear weapons program.
Today he says they were two weeks away from a bomb, something his Administration has not supported with intelligence.
More lies about the war.
We have heard feedback on these measures from folks overseas, and some of it is disheartening.
To those who are stuck, scared, and unsure of what comes next: I hear you.
I'm pressing the Administration to improve its support and assistance to Americans in the Middle East.

Americans in the Middle East who need to reach Consular Affairs can call 24/7 at +1-202-501-4444 (from abroad) and +1-888-407-4747 (from the U.S. and Canada).

To receive the latest security alerts, American citizens abroad should enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) at mytravel.state.gov/s/step and join the State Department WhatsApp channel for updates at whatsapp.com/channel/0029Var8szHInlqREVL5jC0g
2/
Thousands of Americans stranded abroad who contact the State Department are being told their embassies cannot help them.
The limited guidance we’ve received is that American citizens should monitor official travel advisories and security updates.
1/
The Administration must immediately do everything possible to get our people home.
And Congress must investigate this shocking failure of leadership that needlessly put American lives in danger.
3/
The State Department told Americans in the Middle East to evacuate, but flights across the region are cancelled, airspaces are closed, and airports and consulates are shuttered or under attack.
The Trump Administration's incompetence is stranding Americans abroad.
2/
Today I have heard from constituents who are in Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, the U.A.E., and Qatar or have family there and are frantically trying to get to safety.
