Today’s jobs report confirms what we’ve seen all along: Trump’s economic policies are failing.
Unemployment is climbing, job growth is stalling, and U.S. manufacturing is in decline.
So much for Trump’s so-called "Golden Age."

Since retaking office, Trump has killed crypto crime investigations, sidelined watchdogs, and installed crypto-friendly regulators.
Now, Trump and his family are raking in billions from their crypto scams. This is corruption in plain sight.

When given the choice between defending scientific fact or indulging conspiracy theories, RFK Jr. consistently chooses the latter.
His incompetence is putting American lives—and our entire health infrastructure—at risk.

Costs are rising across the board, and Trump’s policies are to blame.
Trump is cutting off federal funding to support clinical trials for kids with deadly brain cancer.
These trials could lead to scientific breakthroughs that save the lives of children fighting cancer. This is beyond cruel.

Last night, I signed onto a bipartisan discharge petition to force a vote to release the Epstein files.
Epstein's victims deserve justice, and the American public deserves the truth.
This past month, I joined @aarpfoundation.bsky.social at events across my district and met with constituents who rely on Social Security.
I will continue to fight back against Republicans' push to privatize Social Security, and to protect our seniors' hard-earned benefits.
My Strengthening Science Through Diplomacy Act just passed the House! Check it out:
FEMA employees are warning that recent cuts to the agency will make it harder to respond to the next natural disaster. Instead of listening to their warning, Trump is suspending these employees, putting American lives at risk.
I stand with our brave FEMA workers fighting to keep us prepared.
The Republican budget will leave an additional 17 million Americans without health care. And even if you’re not among them, you’ll likely see your premiums go up.
Happy Labor Day! Today, we honor the contributions of working Americans and the unions that have helped build a stronger, fairer, and more prosperous nation.
Just in time for Labor Day, Trump is ripping up union contracts for more federal workers—gutting the pay, protections, and benefits they’ve earned.
Our public servants deserve better.

As a manufacturer, I know Trump’s tariffs are disastrous for our economy. They create uncertainty and drive up costs—and American businesses and consumers pay the price.
Trump and RFK Jr. are wrecking American science and putting lives at risk.
CDC director fired after she refuses to resign; 4 other top CDC officials quit

It is unacceptable that infants in Gaza are facing starvation while essential aid is blocked. This week, I joined my colleagues in calling on Secretary Rubio to press Israel to facilitate the immediate delivery of lifesaving aid to Gaza, including ready-to-feed formula.
I am horrified and heartbroken by the news out of Minneapolis about yet another school shooting. Our entire nation mourns with the victims and their families.
Going back to school should be a time of learning and joy, not fear. Congress must do more to keep our communities safe.
Proud to join @ramirez.house.gov, labor unions, and veterans at a Congressional Oversight Forum on Trump’s policies harming the VA.
Trump & Sec. Collins are ignoring poor working conditions, cutting staff, and gutting collective bargaining—violating workers’ rights and threatening veteran care.
Even though mail-in voting has repeatedly been proven secure, Trump still wants to eliminate it.
Not only would this be complete federal overreach, it would be an assault on the voting rights of our service members, their families, seniors, people with disabilities, and more.
The Supreme Court’s decision to let Trump cancel $780M in NIH research grants is a dangerous setback.
Science thrives on diverse voices and expertise. When it’s politicized, we all lose.

It's shameful that Trump criticized the Smithsonian for teaching the horrors of slavery, calling it "woke."
We can’t build a brighter future without acknowledging the darkest chapter in our nation's history.
