Yikes: just 22k jobs were added to the economy in August, significantly worse than expectations. Unemployment rate is 4.3%. And new revisions show the economy actually lost jobs in June. The economy is faltering and Trump’s policies are solely to blame.

A fantastic example of using government to tangibly make life better. Free school meals mean higher attendance, better performance, and less hunger. More of this, Democrats.
I want every New York kid to have the fuel they need to succeed. Starting this school year, breakfast and lunch are free for all students.

For all the talk about fringe political beliefs, it should be a bigger story that the GOP nominee for Virginia governor, in 2025, proudly opposes marriage equality, calls homosexuality an immoral lifestyle choice — and is actively dodging press questions on the topic.

Paige is going to be a powerhouse in Congress — after she takes down one of the most grotesquely corrupt GOP congressmen in American history.
“Paige Against The Machine” That's what they called our campaign against Scranton's corrupt machine. I ran as an independent, won, and we kept going. We’ve reformed government and worked hard for people. Our current Congressman falls… a bit short, so we're taking our fight to DC

While you were sleeping, Iowa Democrat Catelin Drey flipped a ruby red state Senate seat with a 20 point swing against Trump, breaking the GOP supermajority. If you’re wondering why Republicans are rigging maps, this is what they’re afraid of.

Securing DC statehood isn’t some side project — it’s a moral and democratic imperative. The fact that so many national Democratic leaders have treated it like an afterthought is shameful.

Democrats have tried repeatedly to ban partisan gerrymandering nationally. Every single Republican voted against it. Now they want to whine when blue states fight back? Spare us the hypocrisy.
Not all Republicans want new Congressional maps. Rep. Kevin Kiley R-CA is out with a plan to ban mid-decade redistricting. "I’m calling on House leadership to give my bill a vote as soon as we return to session.”
