2 years since Dobbs and we’ve read stories of women forced to wait until they're nearly dead to get an abortion, until they’ve miscarried in the restroom of an ER lobby, until they're emergency air lifted to another state. https://t.co/2St9gT05ji

Today is #NativeWomensEqualPayDay. For every $1 earned by a non-Hispanic white man, Native women earn just 58¢. This devastating wage gap fuels hardship & insecurity. #IndigenousWomen deserve #EqualPay & #EconomicJustice.

New @amprog: I find that 4.4 million small business owners and self-employed people face a $1,500 mean tax hike this year. When enhanced marketplace tax credits expire, businesspeople making <$150k, face a larger tax hike than eliminating passthru ded.

The federal indictment of New York’s attorney general centers on a home she purchased for a relative. It is an act that rings deeply familiar to many.

Hoy es el Día de la Igualdad Salarial para las Latinas. Las latinas a menudo trabajan en industrias con crecimiento positivo del empleo, pero sus salarios no han aumentado al mismo ritmo.

Las #trabajadoras latinas a tiempo completo y durante todo el año ganan solo 58 centavos por cada dólar que ganan los hombres blancos no hispanos, lo que resulta en una pérdida de más de $33,000 al año debido a la #BrechaSalarial. https://t.co/A9xmCtuoGk

The pay gap harms Latinas, our families, our futures and our entire country. We can’t wait to be paid equally, and we shouldn’t have to. Demand that Latinas be paid fully and fairly now! #LatinaEqualPay #Trabajadoras

Latinas often work in industries with positive employment growth, but their wages haven't kept up. Full-time, year round #Trabajadoras earn just 58 cents per dollar of white, non-Hispanic men resulting in >$33k/year lost to the #WageGap. #LatinaEqualPay

Are furloughed federal employees entitled to backpay? The short answer is yes furloughed employees are entitled to backpay, but the mechanism a little complicated. And, importantly, it means the House GOP CR is insufficient for reopening the govt & needs to be amended. Thread:
The conventional wisdom is that furloughed federal workers get backpay when the shutdown ends But a draft White House memo says that’s not the case as the Trump admin considers ratcheting up the pressure on Senate Dems to end the shutdown News here 👇 https://t.co/OzpXNKg3WF

Following Trump’s unprecedented firing of former BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer, the next commissioner will have the unique additional challenge of restoring public trust in the agency. @sara_estep_ and Kyle Ross explain:

The next BLS commissioner will have the power to fill an unusually high number of vacancies at a time when the agency’s funding struggles could reduce data quality.

New from Kyle Ross and me, breaking down the budget and staffing issues in FY26 dollars. The BLS needs experienced nonpartisan leadership, and adequate funding to restore trust and ensure accuracy. https://t.co/aDyH8SmZt9

Important to note "a shutdown provides no new legal authority to engage in mass layoffs, nor does it provide any sound management or policy reason to do so." The Trump Administration is going to try to link mass firings to the shutdown, but it's a complete red herring.
🚨NEWS: @russvought to huddle with HOUSE REPUBLICANS at 1 p.m. VOUGHT is expected to talk about layoffs, departmental cuts etc. The administration has signaled that they will use this shutdown to reshape government, benefits, etc. w @LauraEWeiss16

The Trump administration is eliminating the data on food insecurity in America instead of putting food in the bellies of hungry kids.

Input costs in PPI are accelerating. You often see PPI shorthanded as "input costs", but that's *not* what the headline final demand PPI number tells us--that's just final prices from the seller's side. But there *are* PPI input cost measures: intermediate demand. Below is ther
