December jobs numbers are out: Employment continues to slow, and we added +50k jobs. The unemployment rate fell a tick to 4.4%. Oooph, revisions are brutal: October revised down -68k to -173k; November revised down -8k to +56k. Remember: The Fed thinks these numbers are overstated by 60k.

The first year of Trump's economy, wrapped: > "The worst year for job gains outside of a recession since 2003." www.cnn.com/2026/01/09/e...

US economy added 50,000 jobs in December, capping off one of the weakest years of job gains in decades | CNN Business

Hiring slowed more than expected in December, marking a sluggish end to what was one of the weakest years of job growth in decades.

Every day more Americans are hurt by the Republican health care crisis. But Democrats put forward this bill to help the American people by extending health care tax credits, and forced a vote on it. Thanks to a few sensible colleagues on the other side, that bill just passed.

The Trump Administration is brazenly lying to justify murder, telling us to ignore what we've seen on video. We must honor Renee Good's memory by demanding justice and accountability. Congress and authorities must investigate and hold the perpetrators accountable. youtube.com/shorts/ztv6W...

The FBI must work with the professionals at the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer yesterday. This has to be about justice, not politics.

Thousands of Minnesotans gathered last night to honor Renee Nicole Good. We will never accept that a single federal agent can be judge, jury, and executioner in our streets. ICE needs to get out of Minneapolis.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govJan 8(source)

Everyone should ask why the Trump Administration keeps lying about this — why they are telling you to disbelieve your own eyes. An American citizen in a peaceful neighborhood gunned down by masked agents sent there to make people afraid. The Vice President’s lies are despicable.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govJan 8(source)

The video shows that the driver of the vehicle turned her wheels to avoid the ICE agents who surrounded her, screamed profanity at her, and gave her conflicting orders. They escalated the situation, put the public in danger, killed her without justification, and kept firing at her.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govJan 7(source)

The Trump Administration sent ICE to communities like Minneapolis to sow fear and division. A masked ICE agent just killed an unarmed woman without justification, and the Administration is lying about it. This doesn't make us safer. We need an investigation and accountability.

I want to express my deepest sympathy to the family and loved ones of the woman killed by ICE this morning. She should not have died today. This should not have happened. I can’t imagine the heartbreak you are going through and the grief you are enduring.

There is no evidence that the officer who shot the woman was injured at ALL, despite Trump’s claim here that he is “recovering in the hospital.” Immediately after the shooting you can see him walking completely normally, and he stayed on the scene for a while before driving off.

I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense. Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital. The situation is being studied, in its entirety, but the reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis. They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE. We need to stand by and protect our Law Enforcement Officers from this Radical Left Movement of Violence and Hate!

Frey: So, they are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly: That is bullshit.

Trump is lying, again. The only time NATO’s Article 5 mutual defense provision was ever invoked was by the U.S. after 9/11. Hundreds of soldiers from our NATO allies were killed fighting alongside American troops in Afghanistan. Trump insulting our allies makes us weaker.

Speaker Johnson could easily place the January 6th plaque, and he knows it. The issue isn't the content, which he isn't trying to resolve. He's trying to hide and bury the past because it is uncomfortable for him and for Trump. And he's insulting the officers who protected him.

This Jan. 6 plaque was made to honor law enforcement. It's nowhere to be found at the Capitol

Approaching the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, the official plaque honoring the police who defended democracy is nowhere to be found.

If you don't know what Trump means when he says "we're going to run Venezuela," you are not alone. The Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader also apparently have no idea what that means and are unable to answer basic questions about it:

In the absence of a strong federal response to AI, states are wisely taking the lead to create guardrails. Trump’s attempt to undo this progress is prioritizing the profits of powerful tech corporations over the safety of the American people. I'm leading the fight to stop it.

This attack on trans youth is beyond the pale. But this administration has made clear time and time again that the cruelty is the point. This is absolutely wrong, and this kind of cruelty kills people. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

HHS to revoke funding from hospitals offering youth gender transition care

The proposed regulations would bar medical providers who offer gender transition care to transgender youth from receiving Medicare or Medicaid funds.

Trump says he’s “pro-police” and “tough on crime”, yet he unleashed 1,500+ criminals onto our streets, many of whom assaulted law enforcement on J6. Since Trump’s pardons, they’ve committed: - Kidnapping - Sexual assault - Burglary - Death threats against elected officials
