This jobs report proves what Americans are feeling: Trump’s chaos is stagnating growth and limiting opportunity, all while prices keep climbing up.

As unemployment climbs the Republican-controlled Congress has done nothing to deliver solutions for American families.

Geez such a shocker..hes an idiot..you cant count on him for anything but problems..more and more problems🙄
Earlier this week, Trump promised "very severe consequences" if Putin did not agree to a ceasefire. Now, he's abandoning the idea altogether.
The Trump-Putin summit was a win for Russia
Trump promised to end the fighting on "Day One." Now, he won't even push for a ceasefire.

After three Wisconsin Indivisible groups heard their GOP representative was using sprinklers to disperse peaceful protestors outside his office, the Tom Tiffany Beach Bash was born. Rather than run from the petty waterworks, Indivisibles stripped down to their bathing suits and kept on protesting! 😎

This is exactly the kind of energy we need from Democrats on all levels of government. Democratic governors and legislators need to make it clear that if Republicans redraw maps to rig the system, blue states will respond: www.bluestatedefiance.org/redistrictin...

Listen friends..just dont invest in those drug companies that are decreasing costs by 1500%..they will be broke in a year🤣
Trump: “You know, we've cut drug prices by 1200, 1300, 1400, 1,500%. I don't mean 50%. I mean 1400, 1,500%”🤡

The dumbest president in American history. And it’s not even close.

Today's jobs report shows what many Americans already knew: despite record highs in the stock market, the “economy” is not working for ordinary people.

Rather than accept reality & try to address it, Trump chooses to fire the bearers of bad news.

This is what authoritarians do.
Breaking News: President Trump moved to fire the official in charge of jobs data, claiming, without evidence, that labor numbers were being “manipulated.”

Economists said ousting the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics could undermine confidence in government economic data.

The fight back faction of the Dem Party is ascendent. Get with it or get out.
The Democratic establishment confuses triangulation with leadership and treats stability as a virtue in and of itself. There’s a chasm between what we say and what we deliver. We continue asking voters to show up while we refuse to show up for them.
