The #NovemberJobsReport reveals only 64,000 jobs were added & unemployment grew to 4.6% – the highest level since the pandemic. Trump can deny reality all he wants, but America's economic carnage will continue so long as Trump & his MAGA Republican majorities in Congress stay on the current course.

The Help America Vote Act was not just to secure our elections, but to restore the strength of our democracy in the eyes of the American people. Great to join a compelling conversation about HAVA & the importance of election reform. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...

Collective bargaining is the strongest tool for workers to create a fair workplace, & I'm pleased that the House voted to nullify the harmful EO that would strip federal workers of this hard-earned right. I'll keep fighting against efforts to disempower our federal workers & undermine their service.

Rep. Steny Hoyer@hoyer.house.govDec 12(source)

At a time when electricity bills and grocery prices are already sky high, it is crucial that Americans can afford the care they need. If Republicans don't extend cost-saving ACA tax credits, hardworking families will be forced to go uninsured or make incredibly tough choices just to make ends meet.

Great to join @elfreth.house.gov to meet with officials at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Indian Head, MD to discuss strategy to support NSWC's mission to enhance our national security.

After the 2000 presidential election, I worked to pass the Help America Vote Act in order to restore confidence in our voting system. I'm proud to continue that critical work today. Tune in at 4:30 as I discuss how building on the legacy of HAVA will ensure a stronger democracy in years to come:

As we stood together to reflect on the past two grueling years, I remained in awe of the remarkable strength demonstrated by the families of Americans Itay Chen & Omer Neutra, who were horrifically taken captive and murdered by Hamas on Oct. 7.

The September Jobs Report — which was released 7 weeks late due to the Republican shutdown — does little to dispel the job market's weak showing this past summer. Trump's policies continue to diminish job creation, increase costs for working families, and generate economic uncertainty.
