Trump: Our energy costs are way down. Our groceries are way down. Everything is way down. And the press does not report it… Thanksgiving meals 25% down. So I don't want to hear about the affordability.

New @JECDems report shows that this year Americans paid $100 more on electricity on average. While families grapple with higher costs, Donald Trump is giving away hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to bolster pricey and deadly fossil fuels. https://t.co/fLlaRmaCQx

The job market continues to slow, and it's worrying. We're (just) keeping our head above water (for now). Jobs grew only +22k. July revised up +6k to +79k. June was revised down by -27k to -13k. Average jobs growth over the three months = +29k. Unemployment up a tick to 4.3%.

I look forward to serving as the Ranking Member of the Joint Economic Committee for the 119th Congress. Through this committee, we can build support for commonsense ways to lower costs.

If the government shuts down military troops will not get paid. Moms, kids, & seniors will lose access to programs that help buy food. For what? Because Donald Trump & Elon Musk would rather families suffer during the holidays than govern. Terrible.
