Today's U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics found that the unemployment rate rose to 4.6 percent, the highest level since the pandemic. The economy lost jobs on balance over the months of October (-108,000 jobs) and November (+64,000 jobs). My statement: beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Hegseth repeatedly misled the public about this strike. The boat was headed for Suriname, not the U.S. It wasn't carrying fentanyl. The survivors didn't "radio for backup." This strike was illegal, and Hegseth is trying to cover up what happened by refusing to release video.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that the Pentagon will not publicly release unedited video of a strike that killed two survivors of an initial attack on a boat allegedly carrying cocaine in the Caribbean. https://to.pbs.org/4pZJb8p

The year before Trump took office, the US averaged +168,000 jobs per month. It added just 119,000 jobs TOTAL in 7 months since Trump's tariffs began. The unemployment rate just hit its highest level in 4+ years. Even Trump's Chief of Staff admits his tariffs hurt our economy.

Payrolls fell -105k in October and rose +64k in November. August and September payrolls were also revised down a total of 33k. These data suggest VIRTUALLY NO EMPLOYMENT GROWTH since April ("Liberation day"). Unemployment is now up to 4.6%. This is a tricky report, so stay tuned.

The unemployment rate, at 4.6 percent, is now at its highest level since September, 2021, as the economy was still emerging from the pandemic. It's up from 4 percent in January.

U.S. employers added 64k jobs in November but the unemployment rate rose to 4.6 percent. Payroll employment fell by 105k in October, mostly as a result of the federal government's deferred-resignation program. Data: www.bls.gov/news.release... Live coverage: www.nytimes.com/live/2025/12...

The US is losing blue-collar jobs for the first time since the pandemic—year-on-year job losses have hit 65k as manufacturing, transportation, & mining industries lose jobs at a rapid pace while growth in construction has nearly zeroed out

Trump is engaging in some of the most worst corruption we’ve seen in modern history. His family is raking in billions of dollars while the American people are crushed with skyrocketing costs – and Republicans in Congress refuse to do anything about it. www.newyorker.com/news/the-fin...

The Year in Trump Cashing In

In 2025, the President’s family has been making bank in myriad ways, many of them involving crypto and foreign money.

Virginia’s Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov dreamed of becoming a neurosurgeon after overcoming his own childhood health struggles. He and his fellow Brown student Ella Cook, of Alabama, both had promising futures cut tragically short. We must do more to stop these horrific shootings.

Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, a freshman at Brown, had a condition as a child that required brain surgery. The experience created an unshakable ambition to become a brain surgeon, his sister said. He died after being shot on campus on Saturday.

House and Senate Reintroduce Bipartisan Legislation to Protect Students from Dangerous Seclusion and Restraint Practices

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govDec 15(source)

Many states have recognized the harm of seclusion and inappropriate restraint in the classroom and banned these practices, but this remains an issue that requires a federal solution. Our Keeping All Students Safe Act would enact critical protections for students.

In the 2020-2021 school year, more than 50,000 public school students were restrained or secluded. To protect students from these dangerous discipline practices, House and Senate education leaders reintroduced the bipartisan Keeping All Students Safe Act.

Raskin, Beyer, Welch Introduce Bicameral Legislation to Expand Ranked Choice Voting to all Congressional Elections

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govDec 13(source)

Polarization in Congress is worse than ever, and this is making it harder for Congress to solve basic problems for the American people. But, we have a bill to fix this broken system and make Congress more responsive to their constituency by implementing ranked choice voting.

A moratorium on state AI laws already failed twice with opposition in both chambers of Congress. Now, Trump is bypassing Congress to create a lawless Wild West for AI companies. It’s a bad idea - and I'm actively exploring legislative options in response to this order. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Trump Signs Executive Order to Curtail State AI Laws

The order would allow the Justice Department to punish states with rules deemed restrictive for AI, in a move to bring the U.S. under one federal standard.

Vile, disturbing new photos of Donald Trump that raise even more question about knowledge of abuses at Epstein's estate. @oversightdemocrats.house.gov are demanding the DOJ comply with our subpoena and release the full Epstein files. Stop protecting pedophiles. Survivors deserve justice now.

Yesterday, I voted YES on legislation that would repeal President Trump’s attacks on labor protections for more than a million federal workers. I'm grateful to the 20 Republicans who joined us to pass this bill, and I urge my colleagues in the Senate to support it.
