Under Donald Trump’s presidency, costs for everything are skyrocketing and over 1 million people have lost their jobs.

Layoff announcements top 1.1 million this year, the most since 2020 pandemic, Challenger says

The firm said layoff plans totaled 71,321 in November, a step down from October but still enough to bring the 2025 total up to 1.17 million.

It’s unbelievably brazen to authorize another lethal strike when many Members of Congress – including me – believe this is illegal. These illegal strikes don’t address the fentanyl crisis, embolden our adversaries, and don’t make Americans any safer.

U.S. Southern Command says it conducted a new 'lethal kinetic strike' on alleged drug boat

The U.S. has carried out at least 22 known strikes on alleged drug traffickers in recent months.

I’m so saddened by the passing of a Marine at Camp Pendleton this week, and my heart goes out to their loved ones. I’m hopeful that we can learn from this investigation to prevent future training accidents and to ensure the safety of our Marines.

Marine dies in training exercise at Camp Pendleton

A U.S. Marine died during a training exercise Wednesday at Camp Pendleton, military officials said.

I led a Congressional oversight visit at the USCIS San Diego Field Office to learn more about questionable arrests made by ICE during routine immigration interviews and found their responses wholly insufficient. We need more answers and more accountability. This has to stop.

Republicans in Congress have repeatedly gutted programs that fight hunger. I’m grateful that organizations like Produce for Good, which operates in food recovery and assistance, are stepping up in our community – but we need Congress to restore federal funding for food programs like SNAP.

The IDF reportedly killed 2 kids getting firewood for their wheelchair-bound father. 300+ Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire began. We still need the Block the Bombs Act to hold the IDF accountable and push for adherence to the ceasefire.

Tierra Walker died from preeclampsia because doctors wouldn’t give her the abortion that she needed and asked for. This is just the beginning, as pregnancy complications like preeclampsia rise and abortion bans ignore the best interests of patients.

“Ticking Time Bomb”: A Pregnant Mother Kept Getting Sicker. She Died After She Couldn’t Get an Abortion in Texas.

Walker is one of several women ProPublica found with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions.

The idea of tackling government waste is actually good, but DOGE was horrific – slashing vital programs, firing essential workers, and protecting Elon Musk’s own companies and profits. And now, DOGE is quitting after failing their core mission.

The Department of Government Efficiency made dramatic forays across Washington in the early months of Trump's second term.

TL;DR: The Trump Administration doesn’t think nurses and teachers are professionals. They’re delusional.

Full list of degrees not classed as ‘professional’ by Trump admin

Certain students may no longer receive the same loan for their studies as what counts as "professional" will determine how much they get.

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs@sarajacobs.house.govNov 28(source)

Donald Trump campaigned on ending forever wars, but he’s weighing land strikes in Venezuela and entangling the U.S. in another protracted conflict with no authorization, strategy, or end date. Our adversaries would use this as recruiting propaganda for generations.
