Trump’s economy is leaving workers behind. As families grapple with the surging cost of health care and the cost of everyday life keeps going up, it’s harder than ever to find a job.
A post from Heather Long reads: JUST IN: The U.S. economy added only 50,000 jobs in December and a meager 584,000 jobs in all of 2025.
That's the worst year for job gains outside of a recession since 2003. And nearly 85% of the job gains happened by April. There was little hiring the rest of the year.
Unemployment rate: 4.4% in December, up from 4% in January•
Wages: 3.8% wage growth in 2025, which is above ~ 3% inflation.
Senate Democrats want to lower your costs and tackle the affordability crisis. Senate Republicans want to aid and abet Donald Trump’s adventurism in Venezuela and risk yet another endless war. The contrast is clear – and the American people are with us.
JUST NOW: The Senate advanced @kaine.senate.gov and my bipartisan war powers resolution, which would block the Trump administration’s use of the U.S. armed forces to engage in hostilities within or against Venezuela unless authorized by Congress.
The Trump plan is to put money from Venezuelan oil sales into offshore accounts? Sounds like a slush fund for Trump’s worst impulses and more evidence that his only concern is enriching himself and his big oil donors.
A post by Lisa Desjardins reads “BREAKING: The Trump administration plans to put money raised from seizure of Venezuelan oil into bank accounts *outside* the U.S. Treasury -- they told lawmakers today per multiple sources familiar. Sources said they understood these as similar or decidedly "off-shore" accounts. Asking the WH for clarification.”
We need public hearings NOW. The American people deserve transparency and accountability for this administration’s dangerous actions in Venezuela and their plans to create more chaos in the region.
Trump has completely ABANDONED his promise to put America First. How does spending years and potentially billions of taxpayer dollars in Venezuela help families pay their rent, their mortgages, their grocery bills, their electric bills, their health care bills?
Nothing says “democracy is coming back” like Donald Trump, Rick Scott and Pete Hegseth hand picking regimes across Latin America. This is deranged and must be wholly rejected.
Rick Scott: "This is the start of changing Venezuela, then we're gonna fix Cuba, Nicaragua will get fixed, next year we'll get a new president in Colombia. Democracy is coming back to this hemisphere."
Trump's White House released a maliciously false account blaming Capitol Police for the violence on January 6th. While Trump pardons insurrectionists and lets those who attack our officers walk free, we stand with our first responders. We'll make sure their sacrifices that day are not forgotten.
On January 6, 2021, thousands invaded the Capitol with the intent of disrupting and overthrowing our government—and Trump urged them to do it. We can never forget this day. We have an obligation to remind people of the truth and the fragility of this democracy.
This is disgusting. Trump is planning to cut off $10B in funding for child care and crucial social services in 5 blue states including New York. We should be expanding access to child care for American families. Instead, Trump is playing politics with our children’s lives.
A headline from the New York Times reads: Health Dept. to Freeze $10 Billion in Funding to 5 Democratic States
Democrats are focused on lowering costs for Americans, while Donald Trump and Republicans are spending all of their time on foreign wars, on ballrooms, and on private jets. How is this America first?
Tens of millions of Americans are now locked into sky-high health premiums, and millions are going without health insurance—all because Republicans let the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire. Democrats will not stop fighting to lower health costs the American people.
Donald Trump’s promise to keep America out of foreign entanglements is now as worthless as his promise to release the Epstein Files. And it’s the American people who will pay the price.
THIS WEEK: I will join Senators Kaine, Schiff, and Paul in forcing a vote on our bipartisan War Powers Resolution to stop any further military action in Venezuela without Congressional approval. The American people did not sign up for another round of endless wars.
