Last month over 85,000 people were laid off, the highest August since the pandemic. Trump and Republicans are really screwing up our economy.

Trump and House Republicans thought they could make the pedophile Epstein issue go away by forcing Congress to leave early for recess. They failed. We’re back. The Epstein issue will not go away until the Administration does the right thing. RELEASE THE FILES CANCEL THE CUTS

Many policy-makers consider core inflation to be a better indicator of trends because it excludes the gas and groceries figures, which are volatile, CNBC said. Central bankers prefer inflation at 2%.

Honored to meet the hardworking employees and leaders at Varda Space Industries, a super cool company that makes drugs in space and provides reliable reentry capsules. The depth of talent, resources and infrastructure for space in Southern California is unmatched on earth.

Honored to speak with the incredible workers and leadership at a town hall at Apex Space! Apex delivers satellite buses at scale, reliably and quickly. Southern California has an amazing ecosystem for space with a depth of talent and resources unmatched anywhere else on earth.

Democrats flip another special election seat, this time in Iowa Senate 1, a Trump +11 district. Congratulations to Catelin Drey for running a great race and breaking a Republican supermajority. Voters in IA-01 understand Trump and Republicans are harming our country.

NEW RESULT: Democrats have flipped a state Senate in Iowa. This was a seat Trump carried by 11%, but Democratic nominee Catherine Drey has just won it by 10.4%. This is the second legislative flip by Dems in Iowa this year. It also means the GOP loses its supermajority in Iowa’s senate.

Ted Lieu@tedlieu.bsky.socialAug 26(source)

Honored to tour The Aerospace Corporation in El Segundo, CA and meet with the amazing workers and leaders putting in the hard work to ensure America remains the leader in space and critical technologies. Aerospace is a federally funded research and development center.

Spoke at a packed meeting today with Indivisible South Bay LA and Torrance Democratic Club! We are fired up to pass California’s Proposition 50 in November to hold Trump accountable.

Ted Lieu@tedlieu.bsky.socialAug 22(source)

Thank you to the California State Legislature for standing up to the out of control Trump Administration. Thank you to Governor Gavin Newsom for his leadership. California voters will now have the opportunity to decide this November if they want to hold Trump accountable.

Cry harder dude. You got kicked out of the speakership. Whereas California has grown to be the 4th largest economy in the world under the leadership of Governor Gavin Newsom. Oh, and Bed, Bath and Beyond was run so badly nationwide that the company declared bankruptcy in 2023.

Another federal court calls out Government request to release grand jury transcripts as a "diversion." "The Government's 100,000 pages of Epstein files and materials dwarf the 70 odd pages of Epstein grand jury materials." Real transparency: DOJ can release the Epstein files.

Ted Lieu@tedlieu.bsky.socialAug 14(source)

DHS tried to intimidate Governor Gavin Newsom and Democratic legislators today. They failed. It was a big, beautiful press conference. Nobody’s seen anything like it. California is fighting back against Texas’ attempt to steal elections with new maps of our own. Cheers!

Newsom: "He's a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time we're having a conversation like this? Someone who's weak. Someone who's broken. Someone whose weakness is masquerading as strength."

Ted Lieu@tedlieu.bsky.socialAug 12(source)

Trump and Republicans are seriously screwing up the economy. Layoffs hit their highest level since the pandemic. And what is Trump doing about it? Nothing. Instead, Trump is cosplaying banana republic dictator by deploying the military to DC to distract from the Epstein files.
