The U.S. economy has, on balance, lost a total of 19,000 jobs in the last year.
And instead of ushering in a manufacturing revival, Trump’s tariffs have worsened a months-long slide in blue-collar employment.

Companies across the country are scaling back hiring in the face of this mounting uncertainty or going out of business entirely, with small business bankruptcies rising 10% since last year and corporate bankruptcies increasing to their highest levels since 2020.

Over the last 12 months, U.S. tariff policy changed more than 50 times, with rates going up and down depending on the President’s mood and his endlessly shifting set of grievances, making long-term planning and investment next to impossible.

Trump also assured us that the tariffs would lead to an economic boom. Unsurprisingly, this did not happen either.

According to estimates from a @jecdems.bsky.social analysis, families could wind up paying more than $2,500 each in tariff costs in 2026.

We were told that this massive tax hike would somehow lower prices for Americans and foreigners would pay the costs. Like with most Trump promises, this did not happen.
The tariffs forced Americans to pay more for everyday essentials as companies passed along the costs.
3/
President Trump promised his expansive tariff regime would revive American manufacturing and usher in a new economic “golden age” for America.
Instead, his reckless and chaotic trade war has delivered a self-inflicted economic disaster that is crushing American families and businesses.

A year later, Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs have delivered exactly what many of us warned it would: Americans are paying more for everyday goods, businesses are failing, and we're facing a frozen job market.
Americans were promised a boom, but it's been a total bust.

Blanche oversaw the illegal firings of career civil servants for no reason other than their ties to investigations of Trump and traveled the cable news circuit to suggest the Epstein investigation is "over."
House Republicans could have ended the ongoing shutdown today by bringing the bill to fund the law-abiding parts of DHS to the floor, but they didn’t. They’re choosing the shutdown.
Chag Sameach! Wishing a happy and meaningful Passover to all observing this season of reflection and renewal.
A year ago, DOGE gutted the core of our federal workforce and now the Trump administration is trying to rebuild it with MAGA loyalists.
This is a recipe straight out of an authoritarian playbook that will only fuel already rampant corruption and make our country less safe.
I’m glad to see Speaker Johnson and House Republican leadership accept reality and decide to bring the Senate-passed bill to fund the law-abiding parts of DHS and pay our public servants to the floor. They should bring it up for a vote without delay.
For the first time in over 50 years, NASA is launching astronauts on a journey to the moon.
They'll do a lap around the moon to test life support and other systems on the Orion spacecraft to prepare for a future return to the lunar surface. We're wishing NASA a successful launch!
Watch live:
If you’re born in the United States, you are an American citizen.
That’s a constitutional guarantee in the 14th Amendment and reaffirmed by court precedent, including US v. Wong Kim Ark.
Any attempts to strip citizenship from people born on U.S. soil are unconstitutional.
His executive order attacking voting by mail will be defeated in court.
Trump is pulling out all the stops to make it more difficult for eligible Americans to vote because he knows he and his administration are unpopular. He's terrified Americans will turn out in droves to reject him and his allies in Congress.
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, but Donald Trump and Republicans are advancing efforts to make it harder for eligible Americans to vote in the midterms.
I urge my Senate colleagues to vote NO on the SAVE America Act.
