The US economy lost 92,000 jobs in February and the unemployment rate rose to 4.4% | CNN Business Hiring at US businesses unexpectedly plunged last month as employers shed an estimated 92,000 jobs, according to new data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The U.S. LOST 92,000 jobs last month thanks to Trump’s reckless economic policies.

The data doesn’t lie: Trump’s economy is failing.

Kristi Noem failed the American people as DHS Secretary.

Under her leadership, ICE brutalized and killed U.S. citizens and terrorized our communities.

We're glad she's gone. Pam Bondi is next.

A Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse Since receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse.

On day one of his Presidency, Trump pardoned pedophiles and violent criminals.

America is less safe under Donald Trump.

The Constitution is clear: only Congress has the power to declare war, not the President.

Today, I will vote YES on the War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump.

We’ve already lost six American heroes. We can’t afford to lose anymore to this reckless war.

Gas prices are already rising across the country thanks to Trump’s reckless war in the Middle East.

The American people want affordability, not new forever wars overseas.

What Trump’s War With Iran Has Already Cost Taxpayers The military operation had already cost more than approximately $600 million before the first strikes were even carried out.

Trump’s war with Iran is already costing hardworking Americans.

The American people deserve answers about why their hard-earned tax dollars are being spent on foreign wars while they struggle to afford basic necessities.

Stocks sink as Wall Street fears a prolonged war with Iran | CNN Business Global stocks remained volatile for a second day Tuesday, moving lower as concern mounted among investors that the widening conflict in the Middle East could escalate further.

How does starting a war in the Middle East, sinking our stock market and driving up the price of gas help lower costs for the American people?

Short answer: It doesn’t.

I’m devastated by the passing of four American servicemembers in the Middle East and am praying for their families.

These heroes should not have died and we cannot continue to risk more American lives because of this reckless war.

Congress must pass the War Powers Resolution.

Poll: Most say the state of the union is not strong and the U.S. is worse off Ahead of the State of the Union address on Tuesday, evidence continues to mount that President Trump is facing political headwinds.

The American people agree: the State of our Union is not strong thanks to Trump and Republicans.

House Democrats will keep fighting to get our country back on track and make life better for working Americans.

The State of the Union last night proved what Americans already know: Trump is unhinged and out of touch with the reality of working people.

It’s time for Trump and Republicans to face the real state of our union and address the health care and affordability crises they created.

Trump said that utility costs are ‘going down,’ but families in the Inland Empire saw their electricity costs go up by an average of $127 since he took office.

He is out of touch with the reality of working Americans.

Trump is telling blatant lies.

The Affordable Care Act tax credits helped MILLIONS of hardworking Americans afford the quality health care they need. Trump and Republicans have done nothing but throw people off their health insurance and drive up costs for everyone.

If the state of our economy is as strong as Trump claims, working families wouldn’t be struggling to afford basic needs.

Families in California paid an average of $2,355 MORE in 2025 because of Trump’s failing economic policies. That’s not a booming economy. #SOTU

My guest for tonight’s State of the Union is Dr. Cameo Carter, a pediatrician from Redlands who knows the real pain of rising health care costs.

No matter what lies Trump tells about the Republican health care crisis tonight, Dr. Carter and the American people know the truth.

Daniel Rascon, a U.S. citizen from San Bernardino, was shot at multiple times by out-of-control masked federal immigration agents, traumatizing him and his family.

Trump claims victory on affordability as public anxieties persist Advisers had been encouraging the president to sound more empathetic toward struggling Americans. But as some bright spots emerge, the messaging has shifted.

Working families know the reality of the crippling costs they’re facing better than anyone. No amount of Trump’s lies can change the truth: the American people are sick and tired of the Republican affordability crisis.

This vile, hateful bigotry from Randy Fine is disqualifying for a Member of Congress and the silence from House Republicans is deafening.

The Republican Majority must hold him accountable.

Today, America lost a civil rights leader and champion in Rev. Jesse Jackson. He led with love and even in the darkest of times, kept hope alive.

Rev. Jackson blazed trails for future generations and inspired Americans in his fight for equality. Our hearts are with his family.

President Trump and Speaker Johnson pushed to indict 6 Members of Congress for simply telling servicemembers it's their duty to follow the law.

This weaponization of the justice system to silence these patriots is not only un-American and unconstitutional, it's dangerous.
