This is the highest the unemployment rate has been since October 2021, when the economy was still emerging from the COVID pandemic.

Republicans enacted the largest cut to health care access in U.S. history, stripping health care coverage from 15 million Americans to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. And by refusing to extend ACA subsidies, they're raising health insurance costs for 24 million more.
The Trump Administration killed over 383 active clinical trials and directly harmed more than 74,000 Americans with lasting future impacts for the public at large.
Trump' s war on scientific research and public health is costing Americans lives and livelihoods.
Congress has been slow to respond to AI; in the absence of action states are taking the lead to create guardrails and protect the public.
Trump's ban would kill responsible safety reforms to give AI companies a Wild West environment, putting Americans at risk.
A terrible idea.
I signed the discharge petition to force this vote on releasing the Epstein files, which I strongly support. I woke up today with a bad bug, but would've voted yes had my vote been needed for passage. Happy to see it pass nearly unanimously, and I look forward to returning soon.

We can’t hand Saudi Arabia the keys to nuclear tech while ignoring its desire for nuclear weapons. I’m urging the Trump administration to insist on the “gold standard” safeguards—enrichment bans and full inspections—before any deal.

“Things happen.”
Jamal Khashoggi was a journalist and Washington Post columnist who was literally murdered and dismembered by agents of the Saudi government inside a Saudi consulate.
Shameful. So shameful.
No surprise Trump rolled out the red carpet for MBS.
The Saudis invested billions in Trump family businesses, so giving Saudi Arabia our most advanced fighter aircraft and maybe a NATO-esque security guarantee is the least he could to pay them back.
The corruption is endless.
Congress must reclaim its constitutional responsibility to regulate trade, and end Trump's trade wars.
Far too few Republicans in Congress are willing to stand up to Trump, or to stop his tariffs and lower Americans' costs.
Our economy will suffer until they find a backbone.
This move may alleviate some of the cost increases Trump caused, but it won't end the larger problems of rising inflation, business uncertainty, and economic damage done by Trump’s tariffs.
Only Congress can do that by putting a stop to Trump's trade wars once and for all.
Republicans just want credit for something they think the Supreme Court will force them to do anyway, after oral arguments suggested the Court will rightly rule that Trump's tariffs are illegal.
Trump is keeping most of his tariffs in place now, and even planning new ones.
After getting drubbed in elections because voters are furious that Trump broke his promises to fix inflation immediately, the White House is trying to cast this tariff retreat as a "pivot to affordability."
That's a bunch of hogwash and nonsense.
Trump's retreat from tariffs on coffee, bananas, and other groceries is an admission that his trade wars are driving prices up for the American people.
That is still just as true for the thousands of other goods he's keeping tariffs on!

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein, in newly released email, says Trump “knew about the girls.”
Trump shows little interest in health care or lowering prices but today Jeffrey Epstein's emails were released including one in which Epstein said Trump "knew about the girls" and now Trump is personally making calls to Republicans in Congress to prevent release of the files.
This afternoon, the House will be voting on legislation that fails to protect Americans from skyrocketing health care costs and the Trump Administration's lawlessness.
I will be voting NO.
The American people deserve real solutions. This legislation fails to deliver that.
Republicans refused to fund tax credits to prevent Americans' health care costs, but they snuck in a provision that will give Republican Senators millions of dollars in taxpayer money.
They won't help you, but they'll take your money for themselves. This stinks to high heaven.
This morning, I had the honor of joining the Veterans of Foreign Wars John Lyon Post 3150 in Arlington to pay tribute to those who have served our country.
Thank you to all who have served, and to the families who stand beside them.
Happy Veterans Day!
Anything less leaves American families, our federal workforce, and our democracy at risk.
