The US economy just LOST jobs for the 4th time in 6 months, with our small businesses taking almost all the losses.

Before Trump returned to office, America hadn’t posted a single monthly job loss since Trump's first term.

Trump is destroying our economy.
🚨 CNBC on latest jobs numbers: "A big miss on ADP payrolls. The private payroll company saying private payrolls shed 32,000 workers in Nov. That's the 4th negative number in past 6 months. The estimate was for +40,000, so the street was off ... this may be coming from being hammered by the tariffs"

Pardoning a drug kingpin who flooded America with over 400 TONS of narcotics while you’re actively killing civilians under the guise of “combating drug trafficking” is the most incoherent thing I’ve ever heard.

Most hypocritical administration ever.
It’s now official: Trump has pardoned one of the world’s most notorious drug traffickers. Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández was convicted of drug trafficking last year in the U.S. and sentenced to 45 years in prison. 1/

The word "affordability" is a "Democrat scam"

The Epstein files are a "Democrat hoax"

What's next? 🤔 Is the constitution just a "Democrat regulation"?
Trump: “Affordability is a Democrat scam.”

While he sits in his gold-plated cabinet room surrounded by millionaires and billionaires, he tells you to stop whining about grocery prices and health care costs.

As if human rights violations aren’t enough, looks like Donald Trump can’t help but commit copyright violations as well…

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is right.

Allowing critical ACA tax credits to expire would cause healthcare costs to skyrocket for TENS of MILLIONS of Americans, but Trump and his allies in Congress are refusing to extend them.

Republicans are once again putting billionaires over working families.
Jeffries: Republicans refuse to do a thing to prevent health care costs from dramatically increasing, in a way that will deprive tens of millions of Americans of the ability to go see a doctor when they need one.

70 years ago, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus. This kicked off the Montgomery Bus Boycotts, challenging racist Jim Crow laws.

Later in life, she fought tirelessly for social justice for all Detroiters. Her legacy is an inspiration to all of us.

Well it looks like it's going to be an awkward Thanksgiving for the Leavitt family.
A relative of Donald Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt has been detained by ICE.

As if higher healthcare costs brought about by Republican policies aren't bad enough, now seniors will see money deducted from their Social Security benefits as well.

Our seniors deserve so much better.

Thanksgiving is supposed to be a time of joy with your loved ones. But thanks to Donald Trump’s horrific economic policies, Thanksgiving will cost you 10% more.

What happened to your promise to lower costs on Day 1 Donald?

Pleased to report that the Detroit Department of Transportation received $50,854,529 from @USDOT for low-emission buses. This grant is a huge step towards cleaner, environmentally friendly public transit for our community.

Justice has finally been served.

The House and the Senate have sent a clear, unanimous message: the American people deserve transparency. Let’s see those files, Mr. President.

Cities all over the nation are facing despicable racial profiling. These disgusting actions must be stopped, and ICE agents must be held accountable. It's why I introduced legislation to end qualified immunity for ICE.

Just voted to release the Epstein files. The Senate must do the same immediately!

No more delays, no more Trump cover-ups
November 18, 2025 at 9:17 PM
After months of failed attempts to cover up the Epstein files by Donald Trump (who could've released these files on his first day in office), we will finally vote on their release.

I will be voting to release the Epstein files: the American people deserve full transparency.
November 18, 2025 at 6:57 PM
Make no mistake: Trump’s flip flop isn’t sudden compassion for the victims of Epstein’s horrific crimes.

Instead, Trump knows his work to prevent the release of these files were a losing effort, and he’s trying anything to save face. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

The administration’s end-of-year report card is out — and spoiler alert: they flunked.

President Trump has not only failed to deliver for hardworking Americans, he is actively making our lives harder and more expensive.

Everyone deserves to retire with dignity. It was great to join the residents of Gratiot Woods Co-op in Detroit today to talk about affordable housing, healthcare, and how I’m fighting for them in Washington.
