The GOP’s budget law doubles down on Trump’s giveaways to billionaires while keeping hard-working families in the dust. 🏦 The top 10% get an average $13,620 back. 🛒 The bottom 10% **lose** $1,210. That’s what we call a price hike on working families.

Trump has “lost his strength” as voters are increasingly doubtful about Trump’s economic leadership compared to Democrats. “He’s in real trouble and I think it’s bigger than just cost of living,” our @owenslindsay1 told @AP. https://t.co/01AvSVJNtk

Expect to hear President Donald Trump talk a lot about affordability in coming months. The White House is adjusting its messaging strategy after voters in this week's elections said the economy was...

The cost of living crisis is deepening because the basic balance of this economy is off. Prices are high, wages are stagnant, and policy is still tilted toward profits over people. https://t.co/raG0LP3mAO

NEW: After being provided with information on the government shutdown dynamic in Congress, a majority of voters (52%), including 61% of Independents, think Democrats should continue to push for negotiations to prevent health care price hikes.

Sarah Matthews, a former Trump Deputy Press Secretary, says her ACA health care premiums are going to jump $600 next year. “That is a small number compared to what many families are facing.” @owenslindsay1 tells @alivitali on @MSNBC that the crux of the shutdown is “not the

NEW polling: Majority of voters believe SNAP benefits have been cut & delayed because Trump is choosing to withhold available funds. It’s no wonder why. Just this morning, the Trump admin appealed the court’s decision to fully fund SNAP. It's a choice they're making.

Important to note: The Administration doesn't dispute that they have authority to make up the shortfall and provide full SNAP benefits for November by transferring in other funds. They just don't want to.
JUST IN: The Trump administration has asked a federal appeals court to issue an emergency stay of a judge's ruling ordering the administration to fully fund SNAP.

Consumer confidence just dropped to its lowest level in 3 years. Layoffs are at a 20-year high. Meanwhile, Trump says the affordability crisis can “wait until 2026.” Families can’t wait: rent, groceries, & credit card bills aren’t waiting.

If this preliminary number holds, this month's consumer sentiment is the second-lowest reading of all time and has collapsed below Liberation Day readings.
Brutal consumer sentiment number heading into the holidays. Trump’s insistence that costs are going down are falling on deaf ears. Been there!

There are a lot of alarms going off in the economy and today’s consumer sentiment numbers just add to the pile. The index dropped to 50.3 this month from 53.6 last month, showing how shaky confidence has become as inflation persists, layoffs rise and debt keeps climbing.

“Health care isn't something you can bargain shop on. When you get sick or need to see a doctor, you simply need to be able to go.” Republicans are making that impossible for working Americans who rely on Affordable Care Act tax credits for coverage. @AlexSJacquez @fox13seattle

Another recession indicator dropped just this week: McDonald’s is losing low-income customers. Trump’s economy is so bad even McDonald’s value meals aren't cheap enough. https://t.co/RrQx0xD7Qz

@AlexSJacquez shared new polling from @Groundwork and @DataProgress that showed that the American people are hungry for a government that works for them. Their findings show bold government works when it serves people, not companies. https://t.co/MjycrdgKi9

Wow, huge credit to Katie and the rest of the nutrition team at @CenterOnBudget. USDA has now issued revised numbers because CBPP caught them either accidentally or intentionally making huge errors that would severely underfund SNAP, in direct violation of court orders.
New data: CBPP analyzed USDA’s contingency fund spending plan & found it is only going to release 2/3 of the funding they committed to in court filings, cutting families’ SNAP benefits far more than necessary, violating USDA’s own regulations & shortchanging millions of families.

We may not have access to all the usual job and labor data due to the government shutdown. But one thing is clear, our @ENPancotti told @Marketplace: “Taking all of that together, I see a very stalled labor market.” https://t.co/Yctloenv5b

ADP’s monthly report shows private firms added jobs in October, for the first time since July. Meanwhile, Indeed data shows job openings slumped at the end of October.
